We had a 1-hour tour experience with Throwback Tours around Montreal. Emerson met us at 11am in his 1967 Cadillac convertible. If you're a car person it is a perfect way to see the city! The convertible experience made for an excellent way to see all the sites of Old Town Montreal and the weather was perfect for it!
Every time we stopped at a light, people on the street wanted to come by to get a look at the car or take pictures of the car, as it is Fprmula 1 week we even gpt free Red Bulls handed out by Redbull sponsers!! Emerson gave great details about Canadian history. He made sure to point out stops in Montreal great for eating ans locations where some F1 drivers go as well.
Overall, I highly recommend Emerson and his Throwback Tours. You will receive a tour experience unlike any other from a nice guy in an awesome car!

Exceptional tour. Emerson was professional, articulate and friendly. He was knowledgeable and fun and his car was great. I was with my wife and three young kids and he made all of very comfortable. Would give him six stars if I could.

We had a unique and first-rate 3-hour tour experience with Throwback Tours through all of the great sights of Montreal. At the suggestion of our wonderful concierge, Otilia, from the Hotel William Grey, we met Emerson, the charming, affable, and knowledgeable owner of Throwback Tours, who led us to his 1970 Cadillac convertible. What a phenomenal way to see the city! Emerson thoughtfully provided a fuzzy blanket for us in the back, as it was a bit chilly, and the convertible experience made for an excellent way to see all the sites of Old Town Montreal, downtown Montreal, and Mount Royal Park.
Honestly, we were as much of a sightseeing object as the tour stops themselves; every time we stopped at a light, people on the street wanted to come by to get a look at the car or take pictures of the car, as she was a real beauty! One tourist even asked to climb in and take a picture (and although Emerson was a gentleman, I wouldn't advise that -- it is his car). People couldn't seem to help themselves, though -- they were enchanted by the vintage Caddie. His entire fleet is comprised of vintage Cadillacs.
Everywhere we went, people seemed to know Emerson, and he was excellent in his knowledge of both Canadian and Montreal-specific history. He speaks both English and French, and he was very considerate and right on time. In our three hours, we received a very comprehensive sense of the city and its place in Canadian history. We even stopped for Tim Horton's coffee and snacks. The tour was very personalized, as well. When he learned that my husband and I are in the medical and educational professions, he made sure to point out stops in Montreal specific and related to both professions on our tour.
Overall, I highly recommend Emerson and his Throwback Tours. You will receive a tour experience unlike any other from a charming, knowledgeable, and thoughtful tour guide. We highly recommend Throwback Tours! Thanks, Emerson!

We only had 24 hours in Montreal, hired two cars for the 1 hour and absorbed all the facts that our drivers shared with us. Kids loved it, great to get a good view of everything without worrying where you are going. Good for 4 in each car. The cars sounds great too!
