Step into Old Montréal’s festive lights on this private Christmas walking tour. Winter wind brushes softly past gas‑light streets. Pine scent drifts from wooden stalls (if the seasonal market is running). Historic stone façades glimmer under holiday decorations. You hear laughter echo across cobblestones near the Basilica and the old city squares. Roast‑chestnut warmth blends with crisp night air as your guide shares tales of the city’s past. Whether market stalls glimmer or quiet squares rest under snow, the evening brings soft light and timeless charm.

Please note: The program and attractions may vary based on booking date/time and crowd conditions, ensuring each visit is a unique experience.
