Best Tours & activities in Montreal (2026)

A guided tour is a good way to understand Montreal quickly, and the city's flat waterfront and extensive bike paths make cycling tours especially popular. Ça Roule Montréal, based in the Old Port since 1995, runs three-hour rides on regular or electric bikes, including one through the Plateau, Mount Royal Park and Old Montreal and another along the river, the Lachine Canal and the islands. Fitz Montréal, based in the Plateau, offers year-round bike and walking tours, with routes through downtown and the waterfront or through Mile End and Jean-Talon Market.

For history, Guidatour has led walking tours of Old Montreal since 1985, in more than 15 languages, with seasonal options such as a Christmas tour. On the water, Le Bateau-Mouche sails from Jacques Cartier Quay with guided cruises of 60 or 90 minutes and three-hour dinner cruises, from late spring to mid-October. After dark, Haunted Montreal leads storyteller ghost walks through Old Montreal, Griffintown, downtown and Mount Royal, along with a haunted pub crawl and an Indigenous-led daytime history walk. Book bike and boat tours in advance in summer, check seasonal schedules in autumn and winter, and consider a walking tour early in your stay to get your bearings.
