First, I want to congratulate you on how you have been able to make your viewers feel the coolness of Montreal. Secondly, I want to congratulate you on the quality of the French word pronunciation. It shows that you value the importance of respecting the language of Montreal’s majority who are French speakers.

This is an exquisitely produced video, congratulations. I am born and raised in Montreal and you showed perspectives on the city that I had not realized existed. It’s wonderful to experience my city through your eyes, you make me feel proud and grateful that you appreciate the richness of Montreal. Thank you so much

We lived on the plateau for 6 years before moving back down to Michigan for work. I have to say this video brought a tear to the eye. Very fond memories of Montreal.

I lived in Montreal from 96-09. You made me very nostalgic. No other city like it in the world. One thing that changed for the better: In 96 there were very few bike lanes and no one rode to commute. Now the total opposite

I just came across this and wanted to say how much I enjoyed it! You gave a fantastic snapshot of the city and visited some places you don't usually see. Thank you for sharing!

Montreal c'est ma ville. Je l'aime depuis ma naissance. Thank you for having shown it through anothers eyes

Watching this video made me tear up as I am temporarily located in Switzerland and I miss my Montréal. You showed it so beautifully 😭😭😭

What a charming, delightful and inspiring glimpse you've created of my city. You've truly captured the spirit of Montreal (I like the fact that you chose the Main deli over Schwartz -- a deli I regularly frequent as I live 5 minutes away). Thanks for your clip, and please return for a winter exposé!

[magicmike]

I live in the suburbs of Montreal and I never go to town. I hate it. Now, you made me fall in love with my own city. I feel like living in an endless romantic comedy in that very city you so beautifully showed us. Thank you for that.

I went to college in Montreal and loved watching and reminiscing. Thank you for bringing me back with your love letter to the city.

[melanoskhiron]

Montreal will forever be my favorite city in the world. I loved this video, especially the summer storm.

[GreenEyes]

Always happy to see people enjoying my beautiful city.

[JohnCurtinovi]

Your video brought me back to the time I lived in Montreal. Thank you so much for that!

[hundostacks]

The cinematography and editing of this video was so good. I don't normally comment on videos but this just stood out to me so much (in a good way). Great job!

[Alain.Robert]

Thank you for this beautiful and realistic portrait of my hometown.
It made me realize how lucky we are.

This just showed up on my recommendation and though I wasn't looking to watch anything on Montreal this video was so wonderfully relaxing while longing for summer in Canada.
