MTL Detours is a 100% locally owned and operated small independent tour company, founded in and based in Montreal.
Montreal – by Montrealers.
We have carefully hand-picked all of our guides for their passion for Montreal, their fun and engaging personalities and their high level of knowledge and expertise. All of our certified guides have passed the mandatory tour guide training program at the Hotel & Tourism Institute of Québec (ITHQ), possess their City of Montreal guide permit license and are members of the Montréal Professional Tourist Guide Association (APGT).
Our tours are designed to be fun and informative! We carefully tailor each tour, showcasing the highlights and hidden treasures of Montreal, and sharing the city’s fascinating culture and history with guests. We stick to walking tours at MTL Detours, because as locals we know the best way to see Montreal is on foot and have worked hard to create the best routes that showcase the highlights of Montreal.
Our tours are small and personal! Unlike most other tour companies, we cap our tours at a maximum of 10–12 participants to give each guest the attention they deserve and provide a personal experience.
Our tours are inclusive! At MTL Detours, we value diversity. We proudly welcome all people on our tours, regardless of their gender identity, sex, religion, race, ethnicity, etc.
We work with a select group of top-notch guides, so you’ll always be in excellent hands on an MTL Detours excursion! Each of our amazing guides are passionate and engaging local Montreal experts excited to show guests all the nooks and crannies of this fascinating city.
