I highly recommend the bike tour! - The owner explains things well! Be sure to stop by Ile d’Orléans! They also sell strawberries and wine from time to time. There are cafes, restaurants, etc. If you take a leisurely stroll, it is very healing. There are also hotels and motels. When you take a taxi to the island and leave The owner even called a taxi haha. I shared a ride with another foreigner so the taxi fare was solid haha.

More than what I expected! - If you like riding a bike, living with nature and having new adventures, this is for you! Touring the island by bike is the best; The staff recommends places to visit, you can go at your own pace, taking photos and enjoying the moment I loved!

It was my first time on... - It was my first time on an electric bike and that made the inclines easier. We saw beautiful vistas.

A beautiful walk in the sun - A great welcome for the first opening day. We did a very nice 25 km ride on a muscle bike, with several small gastronomic breaks. A delight !

Good afternoon - Great staff and beautiful area. I thought we'd be biking more in the four hours but there are lots of spots we wanted to stop. If we'd had a car we would've ridden first to explore and then gone to get chocolate and ice cream (both worth the stop!) Very small shoulders on the roads (it was a busy weekend afternoon) so rear view mirrors would be really helpful.

Great afternoon out of the city - Great experience! We did the self-guided tour with my wife on an e-bike (great on the hills) and myself on a regular bike. The staff were very nice and informative - they held our suitcases for us, had sunscreen we could use and were flexible on the return time. Things that could be better: the bicycle drivetrains needed a bit of tuneup and lubricant and a paper map that we could write on while they explained the route/destinations would be nice. Things to know: there are a lot of hills. The road has a small shoulder and on some stretches there were a lot of cars and trucks passing.

Much harder than anticipated - This ride is not for beginners. It is advertised as being for ages “0-99” and being a leisurely ride. It was not. The island is very hilly and in some spots there are fairly steep inclines. We had to walk our bikes often. The island is lovely and if we had a better idea of what we were getting into we may have selected an electric bike. Not that it was the companies fault but it also began to torrentially downpour and there was no where for us to seek shelter. I feel like they should have sweeper vans especially in bad weather to offer rides to wet riders or for people who may be struggling with the route.
