Montreal: Bus Tours

Montreal spoils travellers for choices when it comes to site seeing. Mount Royal is probably the most famous sightseeing attraction in all of Montreal, followed by the Old Montreal area. Gray Line of Montreal offers bus tours that run frequently and take in Montreal’s major sights. Both long and shorter tours are available. For something different try riding a bus through the cobblestoned streets of Old Montreal and then launching right into the water. L'Amphibus is equipped with both wheels and a propeller. The trip takes about one hour (half land, half sea).

Visitors in Montreal can also take a shallow-bottomed Bateau Mouche, a wonderful boat tour that enables you to understand the evolution of Montreal as an important port as you view the cityscape. Cycling tours offered by Velo Montreal are a great way to see Montreal's green areas and parkland. Walking tours in Montreal are also very popular; you can choose from a heritage tour to learn about French heritage and the historical highlights of the city or at night opt for a ghost walking tour.
