Trace the evolution of Montreal's literary, musical and culinary culture on the Rabbis, Writers and Radicals tour. Journey through the Mile End, a hub of Jewish culture since the 1920s, and let your expert guide reveal the diversity of Jewish life in this fascinating neighborhood.
A hub of Jewish culture since the 1920s, Mile End was home to cantors and community organizers as well as poets and politicians of all stripes. Mile End has been a center of the Yiddish language for nearly a century, first with its left-leaning Jewish schools, libraries and social clubs, and now with dozens of Hasidic synagogues, yeshivas and storefronts.
On this historical walking tour, travel through the parks, streets and back lanes of the Mile End, tracing the evolution of Montreal’s Jewish literary, musical and culinary culture exhibiting the diversity of Jewish life in this unique neighborhood.
Very highly. Knowledgeable guide. We live in CA and found the history of the Montreal Jewish community very interesting. Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, myself, my husband and our friends were very disappointed with the tour. There was little depth and the tour guide, while quite lovely, seemed inexperienced and could not answer any questions that veered from the text that she was following. Fortunately one of the members of the tour was from Montreal and was helpful in answering questions our tour guide could not. The title of the tour sounds much more interesting than it actually was, and to be quite honest, the 4 of us were sorry we spent both the time and money on it. I would not recommend it to friends.
