A personal and relaxed tour of the city in one of our iconic vintage convertible Cadillacs, with a local tour guide. We will fill you in on all the rich history and character that makes Montreal Canada’s cultural capital. Our friendly guides know what’s going on in the city and will let you know the places to go, with the latest restaurant, event, activity and nightlife recommendations for all age groups. Treat yourselves to the luxury of a drive in one of our convertibles while experiencing all the sights and sounds that this stunning city has to offer.
Our 2 hour tour begins by visiting old Montreal with its French-influenced history and architecture, dating back over 380 years, including the famous Notre-Dame Basilica. We'll cruise down the cobblestone streets and admire all the old-city has to offer. From there we’ll make our way to the hip and bohemian district of Le Plateau with its famous wall murals, eclectic shops, bars and restaurants. This district is a must visit!

This was some of the best excursion money we have ever spent! Michael was fun, informative, accommodating and certainly entertaining. We learned lots of Montréal and had a ton of laughs. Don’t keep thinking, spend the money you won’t regret it

Such a fabulous way to see, and learn about, Montréal. Our guide, Michael, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and so much fun! The car, of course, was great. I highly recommend this tour.

Have you ever taken a tour that is rated 5 stars on TripAdvisor, but your experience seems totally different that others?
We did the tour with Michael. He was late. He was then confused about which tour we had signed up for and ask us several times about which tour we were taking. We then drove around Old Montreal with commentary that was disjointed. We drove past the same three restaurants twice with the same commentary. And then there was his language. I'm no prude and I use foul language in private and with friends, but I don't use this language in public and not when I'm giving a lecture. It was off putting.
I didn't give this one star because we did very much enjoy the Cadillac convertible. It was a neat way to tour and with a different guide would be spectacular.
So maybe we did enter a parallel universe and this is why our experience was so different that others on TripAdvisor??

Learning about the city and architecture was terrific. Staff was flexible when we needed to change our time and also very friendly. Fully enjoyed riding in the Cadillac.

Was out on a walk about yesterday and saw three different classic Cadillacs on the streets at different times. At first I was sure it was just a collector but by the last one it was clear I had to look more into this.
Glad we did!
My 14-year old son and I had a great time on the tour with Emerson in his white 1970 DeVille.
Emerson hit us up with some great history of Montreal, but even more so was just fun to talk to and ask questions of as this was our first time to Montreal. We really loved both sides of the tour, in Old Montreal as well at Le Plateau Mont Royal. And he dropped us right in front of Schwartz’s Deli with some local tips on best ordering tactics which worked out great!
Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone, including those traveling with older kids.

Outstanding and courteous service! Clean vehicle and right on time! Our driver was able to use the fast lane at the airport to bypass the long queue for the regular passengers.

I guess ut was a crazy idea
Wanted to see a good but of Montreal in a short time ; was great fun get tiring reactions from passers by and other motorists.
It was fun and the guide good fun but he admitted himself he has no ‘guide’ knowledge himself so couldn’t answer many questions
I liked the Plateau area and the opportunity to go to the viewpoint on Montroyal
I think the tour operator had booked the guide back to back with tours before and after which meant he was late for our tour and had to get to the next one afterwards. He was a warm and fun guy

Emerson and Throwback Tours provided an unforgettable 2-hour journey through Montréal in a vintage convertible Cadillac. Emerson's extensive knowledge and lifelong passion for the city made the tour engaging and enriching. The murals, Mount-Royal Summit, and the classic Cadillac added to the charm. Highly recommended for a unique and memorable experience in Montréal.
