Montreal

The city of Montreal is one of Canada's most unique and lively cities, offering a perfect blend of the old and new. Among its internationally renowned festivals are the ‘Just for Laughs’ Festival, a comedy show that attracts thousands every year, and the Jazz Festival, which features around 400 different shows and attracts jazz greats from around the world. The number of museums located in and around the city number is daunting, and includes notable names like the McCord Museum of Canadian History. Other historically significant sites around Montreal include the Notre-Dame Basilica, one of the largest cathedrals in North America. Shoppers will swoon at the sight of Montreal's downtown core, which has over 3,000 shops and services, most of which are conveniently centered around Ste-Catharine Street.


Montreal is a great city to explore by foot. Join a walking tour where you will discover the secrets of Old Montreal (from £15 per person), or consider a guided cycling tour, taking the pulse of the metropolis and its neighbourhoods (from £46 per person).

Adventure rafting is another option. Hold onto your paddle as your raft plunges through the largest foam capped waves of the Lachine Rapids (from £39 per person).
