Montreal Downtown Dorchester Square Park in autumn

The tour will begin at the end of the famous Gray Line Montreal. Your guide will meet you inside of the renowned Tourist Information Center that is situated at 1255 rue Peel. 

During the tour, you will be led by a professional guide who will take you across the vibrant and thriving downtown core. Then, you will submerge into the beautiful parallel city below the ground. We will also take you through the winding tunnels and all across the beautiful, multi-level Underground City. 

Most of Montreal, as well as its old city, are linked by one of the longest underground tunnel-based networks in the world. This offers you the opportunity to cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. As you walk around you will encounter abundant murals and artwork throughout this unique tour. At the same time, you get to stop off at famous landmarks like the Berlin Wall, the old national bank vault, the four-story water fountain, an indoor-based skating rink, a larger performing arts center with several interactive exhibits, and a historic train station.  

You can finish the tour with a ride to the impressive 46th floor of the famous Observatoire Place Ville-Marie where you will get unmatched views of the entire city.
