About this tour
When Em from our team booked a private photo session with Flytographer in Montreal, we got what amounts to a professional photographer on your side for an hour, scouting locations with you and capturing decent shots of your crew. It's aimed at everyone from honeymooners to solo travellers just wanting good holiday snaps to take home. The photographer's a local so they can point you toward the actual decent cafés and corners of the city, and you get 20–65 edited digital images back within five days depending on which package you pick. Montreal's a photogenic city — cobblestone laneways, the mountain, riverfront spots — so the backdrop does a fair bit of the work.
Highlights
- Local photographer doubles as a legit city guide during the session
- 20–65 high-res images delivered within five days
- Works for couples, families, groups up to 24 people
- Professional editing included in the price
- Flexible package sizes to suit budget and party size
- No hidden costs — all taxes and handling upfront
What to expect
Em met her photographer at an agreed spot in the city and spent the hour moving between a few handpicked locations — a mix of well-known Montreal landmarks and quieter corners the photographer knew would photograph well. The pace was relaxed; no mad rushing or feeling staged. The photographer gave real direction ('stand there, turn slightly, walk toward me') and actually knew the city, so if you're keen on specific locations or after local recommendations, you'll get genuine intel alongside the shoot.
The images came back with clean editing and a proper professional sheen. Nothing oversaturated or weirdly filtered. The online gallery was straightforward to download from, and the whole process felt low-stress. The hour itself goes quickly — you get through maybe three to five different spots if locations are close — so it's a snappy outing that doesn't eat your whole day.

Good to know
If you're after proper holiday photos that actually look like a photographer took them (not a selfie-stick job), this works. Couples will get romantic shots, families get everyone in frame together, and solo travellers get candid portraits that beat the standard tourist snap. The photographer's local knowledge genuinely helps — they know the light at different times of day and where crowds thin out. Pricing's transparent, and you own the files for personal use straight away.
You're paying for the photographer's time, so if Montreal's peak season or a major event, booking ahead matters. The hour limit means you can't leisurely hop around — you'll cover maybe three locations at a push. Entrance fees to places like the basilica aren't covered, and you're responsible for getting to the shoot point yourself. If you want photos of a proposal, you'll need a separate package. Weather in Montreal can be unpredictable, especially outside summer, so if it's drizzly your outdoor options shrink.
