My days of giving guided walking tours to family members-who-would-rather-not-listen are over. The free historical walking tour of Old Montreal app, produced by Montréal en Histoire, is now available.
The app enables users to enjoy twelve augmented reality experiences and to visit fifty points of interest. (I must say I am curious to know what an “augumented reality experience” actually is. Does it include a stop to sip chilled Chardonnay? My tours do.) With a tablet or a smartphone, users discover the characters and important places that have forged Montreal through time.
The Montréal en Histoire app is available in four languages: French, English, Spanish, and Mandarin. It is recommended you use a set of headphones.
