    Great tour!
    Jeff led our group of seven on e-bikes around the city. We saw all of the key sites, and Jeff kept it interesting and funny. He even performed troubleshooting on our bikes on the fly! Highly recommended!

    Not to be missed!
    We took the Highlights bike tour on Saturday and the Hidden Gems bike tour on Sunday. Jeff and Anni were awesome guides. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. The bikes are super comfy and the pace leisurely for all. Absolutely the best way to get to know Montreal.

    Great way to understand Montreal as a city, and to enjoy its bike infrastructure!
    I have now taken this tour twice, once with Martin in October 2022, and just recently with Catherine in July 2024. The tour is great. They provide history about Montreal immigration, neighborhoods, and the origins of its architecture in these residential neighborhoods. The stop for bagels and at Jean Talon market are great and round out the trip really well. I highly recommend!

    Memorable and worth it!
    What a fun way to see and learn about Montreal! Everything you’ll see in any “things to do in Montreal” list was addressed in this tour even if it wasn’t a stop. Andre was a great, knowledgeable and patient guide. When I booked this experience, I thought we’d be riding cruiser bikes but the bikes actually had gears. I left mine on 3 the entire way and the very last couple blocks uphill almost did me in, but I survived lol!

    Highlight of Our Trip
    My wife and I spent an extended weekend in Montreal for the first time, and this tour was absolutely one of the true highlights of our trip. Our tour guides were phenomenal and did a great job explaining some of the history of the various neighborhoods while inserting personal anecdotes that gave us a better feel for the fabric of the community. We were able to see so much traveling throughout the city by bike, but even more than the beautiful views we felt like we really learned a lot and fell in love with the city. I know some might be uncomfortable at the idea of riding a bike through a big city, but the cycling infrastructure throughout Montreal is phenomenal and we felt very safe through the entire experience. I couldn't recommend experiencing the city by bike more strongly, and specifically with this team of guides. This tour is the first thing I've mentioned to friends who asked about our trip, and I've already recommended it to others I know who are planning on visiting Montreal. I ended our trip feeling like Montreal is a new favorite city of ours and this tour is a major part of why. Can't wait to come back and try another tour!

    Rod is a great guide: very knowledgeable, great sense of humor and aware of the participants. Strongly recommend him The path of murals is very good and he added key comments to understand the pieces. If you are a murals enthusiast, you cannot miss these part of Montreal.

    A Fun Tour
    A good way to see the city. The bikes were easy to use and in great shape! Riding around construction sites can be tricky. Our guide kept us safe.

Hi Karen, thanks for your review. Our tours always leave from the same meeting point. After verification, we can confirm that we see that we sent you 2 reminders with the right departure location. However, you showed up at the meeting point of another tour company. We are that you left a 3 star review for a mistake that was not ours :( This said, we are happy that you still enjoyed the tour. Cheers!

Our guide was Frederick, and he was outstanding, balancing answering questions, providing information and keeping the walk on track.

Well paced walk, with excellent information about not only the City of Montreal, but history of the province as well. Great introduction to the City.

Great walking tour of old Montreal and surrounding areas! Our guide, Eduardo, was very enthusiastic and informative, also very patient, willing to answer any of our questions. He also was engaging with us, having us participate in a few quizzes. It was thoroughly an enjoyable tour and highly recommended!
