Overview

As the only licensed Montreal expert guide, woman of colour in the province of Québec. I will take you through the discovery of Montreal's Historical Black history from the 1600s to the present. My 25+years of knowledge, experience , research will be shared about Montreal's unique black history, Jazz history, the period of prohibition, the role of the railway in the story. I began giving Black history, Jazz and neighbourhood tours in 1997.
Only guests and their own party will be on the tour
The pace will be adjusted to guest pace, it's a leisurely tour
As a private tour, guests have full access to their guide during 2 hours
I will provide guides with suggested reading material if interested, activities, recommendations on places to eat
Compliments well with my two Old Montreal Walking Tours where we can continue the discussion and discovery of Montreal's Black heritage.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
