Shubham was a wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable with the history of Montreal. We visited various sites to ensure I had well-rounded experience in the city. He was personable, considerate and patient with me.
I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day seeing sites. My favorite was the Habor and the underground city.

My issue is with communication, or lack thereof. I attempted to contact my guide (website ‘contact your guide’) BEFORE booking, to ask a question. With some effort, I was able to message the guide (indirectly - everything appears to have to go through the company). I received 1 reply, informing me she was able to accommodate my requirements for pick up and drop off. I could NOT do the walking tour as advertised. Based on the reply, I booked the 2 hour tour of Montreal for Oct 30 on Oct 28. I attempted to contact Withlocals, both the company AND the guide using their website links on numerous occasions, to confirm my questions regarding luggage (we were coming off a cruise). The only reply was confirming the payment and the booking. No other response to all my repeated questions. By afternoon Oct. 29, I gave up and cancelled the booking. Their cancellation policy is no refund within 7 days of tour. There was virtually NO customer contact/service/answers after payment/booking and little interaction BEFORE booking.
