What riders say
Across these tickets travellers rate Gray Line Montréal Montreal 3.6 out of 5 from 1,707 reviews.
We ride the entire loop once around before getting back on knowing my priorities. We purchased the two day ticket and enjoyed different stops each day.
Great to see Montreal. Lots of of historic buildings. Would say for sure to do, bundle up on an October day for viewing up top. Negative would be how many many many times the host on the bus reminded us to leave a tip!! That put a sour note to it.
Nice overview of Montreal with a lot of nice stops. First time here, but unfortunately the weather was bad- rained all day with fog so we could not sit up top and we could not take advantage of many stops. I recommend canceling or rescheduling if the forecast is really bad.
Best time to ride
Late spring through early autumn gives clear lookout views from Mount Royal and comfortable open-top riding. Autumn foliage on the mountain is particularly attractive.
Who it suits
- Families
- Live narration on a double-decker holds interest, and the Mount Royal lookouts offer open space to stretch.
- Couples
- The Kondiaronk and Camillien Houde lookouts give sunset-style views over the city.
- Seniors
- Riders need to climb stairs to board the double-deckers, which can be hard for some.
