What makes this tour special

Discover the unique RÉSO district of Montreal, an extraordinary city beneath the city, on this 2.5-hour walking tour with an expert private guide. RESO is the largest underground network of offices, malls, hotels, restaurants, pop-ups, conference centres, and other venues like performing arts spaces and even schools and universities, as well as the Metro, that make up a subterranean "city" anywhere in the world. 

On your private tour, your will:

 
Lots of Canadian cities have a system of tunnels and skywalks used by residents to get around the city while avoiding the harsh Canadian winter weather. However, Montreal's RESO takes the biscuit. It is used by between 500,000 to 1 million people every day (more in winter) and comprises the underground transport network (the metro) as well as a veritable city of shops, food stalls, cafes, bars, restaurants, office complexes, hotels - and even performance venues. There are also entrances to movie theatres, schools, universities, banks and over 1600 housing units. With over 20 miles of walkways and tunnels, RESO or the Underground Network covers an impressive 4 million square meters or 1.5 square miles. These stats make it the largest underground city in the world. 

On this impressive 2.5-hour tour, you'll be able to fully explore Montreal's Underground City - and end back at the legendary Sainte-Catherine street.
