“Really nice neighborhood and historical tour! Truly enjoyed our tour and our guide was very knowledgeable.”
Walk Montreal’s Plateau and Mile End with the Museum of Jewish Montreal on a 2-hour tour focused on rabbis, writers, and radicals.
“Our tour guide, Hannah, spread her enthusiasm and optimism throughout the tour. She maintained a slow enough pace for the seniors on the tour without dragging. She engaged the guests as we walked. She was able to answer questions with ease. She employed various devices to stimulate our attention and interest. I liked that she included observations from her own life, which gave the tour a more personalized feel. My only criticism is that she speaks very quickly so it was not easy to keep up with her presentation, and I know two of the non-native English speakers missed a lot.”
A 2-hour Jewish history walking tour in Montreal, led by Museum of Jewish Montreal staff, using mobile visuals and ending at Mount Royal’s Tur Malka.
“Learning about all the different early Jews, who helped shape Montreal. Our guide was well prepared and knowledgeable about the history of Montreal.”
