I love taking visitors to Marché Jean-Talon, they always get completely overwhelmed and never know where to start.

Marché Jean-Talon never fails to impress people from out of town 😁

Thanks everyone!

Obviously tourists love Vieux-Montréal but I think the Plateau is the neighbourhood that surprises them the most. Spent a year collecting footage for this one enjoy!

Been collecting footage for nearly a year to make this one happen. I also spent extra time on the sound mixing, hope it's more discernible this time. One of my favourite things is taking visitors to the Plateau just to see their reaction

Looks great! Will it be green glass?

Damn that's disappointing.. some of the dialogue is from decades old recordings and Zoom calls so there's fluttering noises that I can't fix, but everyone who was shown the video before release said they were able to understand so I'm perplexed 😕 let me know if it continues, and also try listening through different methods (earphones for example). On iPhone, I've noticed the music is barely heard and the voices come through almost too loud.

With Halloween fast approaching, it felt appropriate to make a video about Harry Houdini and his little-known connection to Montreal

One spot tourists can't seem to avoid is Tommy Café, it has such a reputation for being the best place to take pictures and with so much footage available, I made a quick little video

This one was a lot of fun to edit.. the love/hate thing people have for it is fascinating. Where do you fall on it?

I'm not religious at all, but it remains a spectacular structure that Montrealers should know more about (I also included someone who got to visit the top of the dome and show what the renovations will add to the building)

I'd always wanted to make an epic video about this amazing Montreal landmark:

Seeing as though 2020 has axed large gatherings altogether, a reminder of what going to a concert in Montreal is like:

It's amazing how many Ontarians know about it and always make a stop when they're in Montreal. They fill up jugs to bring home with them, similarly to how to pack their trunks with bagels and smoked meat 😂

Love it or hate it? Based on a Gibeau family recipe from the 1920s, the Orange Julep has become an iconic Montreal landmark, serving their trademark drink since 1932.

Some tourists explore the Botanical Gardens for the first time. Fun fact: the Chinese Garden is the largest outside of China

One of my favourite spots in the city, editing this video was absolute torture, I have such a craving now.

Didn't they put out a press release saying this was supposed to begin in January 2020, then was delayed to March and finally June of course because of COVID? And now they're announcing they're starting demolition September 2020? I can't see how this project is going to open as they predict anymore...

Thank you so much! Surprisingly, based on the comments I'm seeing, the video seems to have made people want to visit during winter rather than scaring them away lol

People always comment on my videos saying I don't properly showcase the downside of Montreal which is our winters, so here's a video of tourists freaking out and braving the cold and snow on their first winter trip to the city 😂.

Based on suggestions from others, I will post and group all the videos I create in this topic. I wanted to make unique videos that showcase the city through authentic experiences captured by visitors for two reasons: to make Montrealers realize how special their city is (and to go out and discover it themselves) but also to attract new visitors who may have never considered visiting Montreal before. If you like what you see, please share it with friends and on social media! Here is my newest, visiting Eva B on Saint-Laurent:

I'm gonna try and make these videos more often, maybe I should create a topic specifically for them instead of all these separate ones?
