The French speaking capital of North America–and birthplace of Keating Tours–retains much of its old world charm. Keating guides introduce students to the fantastic diversity of Canada’s second largest city, teaching students about Montréal’s history and current place in international affairs. Programs provide a fun atmosphere to explore the educational features and “French factor” that give Montréal its dual personality.
Keating Tours has developed four programs specifically designed for elementary students. Choose the Space, Eco, Leadership, History or Arts program, or mix and match elements from each.
