What to expect from the Old Montréal Food, Drink & Spa Experience?
One-of-a-Kind Food Tastings — This 3-hour guided walking tour brings you on a culinary voyage through Montréal’s historic district. There, you’ll have the chance to discover both traditional contemporary culinary creations at five different tasting locations, three of which are sit-down restaurants. These stops include one brewpub serving local craft beer, a local gluten-free bakery, and a café serving a classic Montréal bagel topped with smoked salmon. On this tour you’ll get to savour traditional Québécois food while you discover and savour Montréal’s history, too!
A Historic & Cultural Experience — While walking through the narrow cobblestone streets of Old Montréal, relax and take in its old-world charm. Old Montréal is an excellent example of the city’s English and French heritage, which we discuss and observe by visiting various important landmarks. Our local guides share their first-hand experience of these cultures, infusing each tour with a personal touch. They will tell the stories behind the Old Port, Notre Dame Basilica (we do not enter the church), public squares and more. Throughout the tour you’ll get a sense for how Montréal’s historic tales have shaped today’s city and its vibrant cultures.
An Exclusive Spa Experience — Following the tour, you’ll have the chance to head over to Bota Bota, a picturesque spa located right on the water of the St. Lawrence River, 5 minutes away from the final tasting stop. There, you’ll be treated like a VIP and get to skip the line with your pre-paid ticket, opening up a world of relaxation and wellness. The spa’s water circuit is spread around the decks of a boat, including outdoor installations, where you cycle through the healing circuit of hot, cold and relaxation. The boat is a silent zone offering an ambiance of complete zen and tranquility while in the outdoor gardens you’ll find several baths, a steam room and sauna where you can have a quiet conversation. Your ticket gives you access to the spa for 3 hours, but you can stay longer if you wish at an additional cost.
