As the only licensed Montreal expert guide, woman of colour in the province of Québec. I will take you through the discovery of Montreal's Historical Black history from the 1600s to the present. My 25+years of knowledge, experience , research will be shared about Montreal's unique black history, Jazz history, the period of prohibition, the role of the railway in the story. I began giving Black history, Jazz and neighbourhood tours in 1997.

The pace will be adjusted to guest pace, it's a leisurely tour
As a private tour, guests have full access to their guide during 2 hours
