The city tour takes in Notre Dame Basilica, Chinatown, the Old Port of Montreal, Montreal Science Center, Montreal Casino, St Catherine Street shopping area, Mount Royal Park, Crescent Street's Hard Rock Cafe, Dorchester Square and this, the magnifcient St Joseph's Oratory. A Coach Canada MCI departs as photographers snap from the roof of the Routemaster.

Unfortunately the weather in Montreal in July cannot be relied upon. As the tour bus returned at speed from the Olympic site it started to rain and raindrops at 40 mph can be quite painful. At traffic lights the driver sounded the siren to give passengers - under supervision of the guide - to descend into the dry. A bit further on and the sun came back out, the bus stopped and the driver, equipped with a roll of paper towels dispensed them to passengers returning to the top deck so they could dry their seats.

RMLs pass on the tour in downtown Montreal. RML2749 is seen from the top deck of another Routemaster. Note that "749" is lettered "Montreal Sightseeing" while "Tour de Ville" was used on 435 whilst others carried nothing.
