Montreal, founded as a fur-trapping town in the 17th century, has become the cosmopolitan heart of Quebec over the following 400 years. Its culture has been profoundly shaped by its francophone and anglophone residents, the Quebecois separatist movement, and many immigrant communities from around the world. Its historic streets, culinary specialties, and performing arts festivals, including the Montreal Jazz Festival, speak to the city's colorful past and vibrant present. Discover Montreal's multicultural energy with Context's private and small group guided tours.

We're obsessed with Montreal. Food, history, architecture.... this is a dizzyingly deep city to sink one's teeth into. For first-time travelers, we heartily recommend our Old Montreal guided tour with a historian, which is a great way to get introduced to Montreal. Want to dive deeper? Then our Quebecois Culture Tour will take you into East Montreal to learn about Quebec nationalism. We also offer a unique look at the immigrant history of the city on our Multicultural Montreal Tour. Among our most popular private tours is our Montreal Food Tour, which visits the Marché Jean Talon.
