Montreal Sightseeing Bus & Boat
Sightseeing Bus
Route & Stops
With 10 stops scattered around the most emblematic spots in the city, you'll be able to see the most popular places in Montreal on board this classic red two-storey bus. Plus, once you activate the ticket, you can hop on and off as many times as you like for 2 days!
The sightseeing bus will take you to discover architectural milestones like Old Montreal, the majestic Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal, and the stunning Saint Joseph's Oratory of Mount Royal. You'll also pass by Dorchester Square, the lively Quartier Latin, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and the park landscapes of Mount Royal.
During the journey, you'll enjoy the commentary from a guide in English and French, who will share the history of the neighborhoods and monuments that you'll see during the tour. If the weather is nice, don't miss out on going up the open-top upper floor to take the best pictures!
Sightseeing Cruise Along St. Lawrence River
This ticket also includes a 1.5-hour boat ride. We'll depart from the Grand Quay, in the heart of the Old Port, to enjoy the best views of the city from the St. Lawrence River.
During the journey, we'll sail next to Saint Helen's Island, admiring the eye-catching attractions such as the atracciones tan llamativas como la Biosfera y el parque La Ronde. The route will continue toward the Olympic Stadium and the natural environment of the Îles-de-Boucherville National Park, offering along the way wonderful views of the iconic Jacques Cartier Bridge before we return to Old Montreal.
Plus, just like the bus tour, you'll be accompanied by an English- and French-speaking guide.
