3.Montreal: Guided Pub Crawl of the City’s Skyline Bars

Meet your guide in Montreal’s downtown or Old Port area, then visit several rooftop and skyline bars over three hours. Djiby is often the host, with Leander and Jimmy also praised as guides. You’ll get a shot at each stop, while drinks, food, and transportation are paid separately.

“A time was had! If you are ever in Montréal and need something unique and creative to do, this is it and must be added to your list. This experience blends culture, history, music, food, great cocktails, and amazing vibes! The host Djiby is definitely that guy.....he is warm, friendly, charismatic, charming, and engaging. I can tell he really loves what he does and loves meeting people from all over the world and showing them his city. For me, besides meeting Djiby, this tour was very much worth it, seeing amazing and off-beaten bars, restaurants, and other venues that one would never come across on their own without a local.…”
