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.

A Fun & Easy Way to Explore Montreal - Frederick was great and an awesome tour guide. The 3 hours flew by and we felt we covered so much of the Plateau & Mile End. It was a great way to see a part of the city that wasn't Old Montreal. Highly recommend.

Take this relaxing bike tour! - This tour gave us a view of Montreal that was off of the beaten path. Ann Marie provided us with insights at every stop and we saw some truly hidden gems. The route was mostly away from traffic and was easy to negotiate the intersections. The pace was easy and not too slow so we could enjoy and observe all of our surroundings. Ann Marie also provided us with brewery recommendations for after the ride which were greatly appreciated and thoroughly enjoyed.
