Perfect intro to Montreal by bike! - This was a perfect bike ride to introduce us to a number of downtown Montreal neighbourhoods. Anne-Marie was a great guide, friendly, knowledgeable and took care to make sure we were safe on the roads. Really easy ride to discover some cool spots in the city. We really enjoyed the afternoon on the bike with your tour. Thanks so much!

Charming Montreal bike tour - Fantastic ride through less touristy parts of Montreal. Our guide, Julie, was lovely. The terrain was mostly neighborhoods with a smaller portion on city streets, but with the dedicated bike lanes it always felt safe. Julie showed us several murals, Mont Royal Park and the bustling Jean Talon market. She also got us delicious, warm bagels from St. Viateur.

Great way to orient yourself in Montreal and see where the locals live - This was such a great way to get to know the neighborhoods surrounding downtown Montreal and get a sense for how locals live. The bagels and stop at the Jean-Talon market were definite highlights. Very knowledgeable and passionate guide who gave us plenty of time for pictures and was able to answer questions. Plus, it's about 9 miles of biking, which means you get a workout in!

Discovering new neighborhoods and interesting sites on a fun tour! - Our guide Eduardo was very enthusiastic with an infectious smile, and well informed about the areas we visited. He was also safety conscious and made sure everyone was comfortable riding in the bike lanes and with traffic. My husband and I are happy that we took this tour as we would never have discovered the ‘hidden gems and neighborhoods’ on our own. We highly recommend this tour and this guide!!

Great way to see some of the non-touristy areas of Montreal - I highly recommend this tour. You do not need to be super-fit and it gives you an insight into some of the neighbourhoods of Montréal. Our guide Eduardo was really nice and explained to us many aspects of the history and society of Montreal. We stopped at a bagel shop (warm bagel was included in the tour cost) and the Jean Talon Markets and several other places of interest.

Great intro to neighborhoods I would have otherwise missed! - The guide - Martin - was excellent. If I was just reviewing him this would be 5+ stars. He was wonderful - personal, professional, knowledgeable, and very able to safely navigate our group while on bikes. He had a lot of tidbits to offer about the neighborhoods, the history of Montreal and the various areas, the way things are changing, etc. This was not a dry history tour. I am not a biker. I probably hadn’t been on a bike in 7-8 years before this tour. If you’re even reasonably fit, this tour is doable. I had walked 5.5 miles before the tour, and didn’t have any issues. The bikes are nice, but the seats are not very soft for a 3 hour tour. My only issue was with the booking. I booked an available tour for a Friday, and paid the Friday price. I got a text message asking me to reschedule (because I was the only person booked for that day/time), which I didn’t want to do but had no option. I rescheduled for Sunday due to already having other things booked - which would have been a lower price had I booked for Sunday - but no one mentioned this until I found out during the tour, at which time it didn’t seem appropriate to mention to the guide since he didn’t have anything to do with scheduling. I also wanted to do the tour earlier in my trip to have a better idea of where to go. Doing the tour less than 24 hours before I left to fly home wasn’t ideal since I couldn’t go back to stop at any of the places we saw and flying home with bicycle seat soreness wasn’t great.
