Montreal, a city founded on the ambition of French fur traders in the 17th century, has evolved into a cosmopolitan hub reflecting a mosaic of cultures and histories. From the strategic trading post at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers to its current status as a beacon of bilingualism and multiculturalism, Montreal's narrative is one of transformation and resilience.

Our Montreal walking tours at Context are tailored for those who wish to plunge into this rich historical and cultural milieu. For first-time visitors, the Introduction to Montreal Tour is an essential starting point.

Christopher was an excellent guide. He answered our many questions about Canadian history and modern Quebec. I would, however, suggest starting with an historical map, then comparing it to contemporary map to better understand the history of Montreal.
