Frequently asked questions about audio tours of Montreal
Is there a self-guided audio tour of Montreal?
Yes. Avsha generates a personalized, self-guided audio tour of Montreal on the fly — press play and it narrates a story about wherever you're standing, from Notre-Dame Basilica, Old Port, Mount Royal to a quiet corner of Old Montreal. No fixed route, no guide, and it works on any street, not just the famous ones.
What's the best free audio tour app for Montreal?
Avsha is free to start (3 stories, no signup) and built for Montreal: it tailors each story to your interests, travel mode and language (60+ supported), and never repeats. Unlike a fixed catalog of a few recorded stops, it can tell the story of any spot in the city.
Can I use it offline while walking around Montreal?
Yes — with Trip Packs you download stories over WiFi before you go and listen anywhere in Montreal, even in airplane mode or with no signal.
Do I need to book a tour or follow a set path in Montreal?
No. Avsha isn't a scheduled walking tour — just open it wherever you are in Montreal and press play. Wander Old Montreal, double back, or stand in front of the Notre-Dame Basilica and it adapts to you in real time.
How much does an audio tour of Montreal cost?
It's free to try. After your first few stories you can top up with an affordable credit pack or go Pro for unlimited exploring — far less than a guided Montreal walking tour, and yours to use anywhere in the world.
