No, the pedestrian pathways and shopping complexes are free to enter. You only need a ticket if you plan to ride the STM Metro or if you book a guided walking tour.
Yes, especially if it is your first visit. The 32-kilometer network is massive and lacks a simple grid layout. A guide helps you see the main sights without getting lost.
Some tours, like Explora Montreal and the Comedian tour, include the required STM transit fares. Read the specific tour inclusions carefully before booking.

It was great! We all learned lots of good information and good places to visit. Highly recommend to everyone.
Misha was a fabulous Tour guide! Her knowledge of the underground tunnels, shops, art, and metro exceeded our expectations. I would recommend this tour to a first time traveler to Montreal or a fifth time traveler.
Excellent tour with Katherine! She was very informative, energetic, and nice. She clearly knew Montreal like the back of her hand!
