In the first half of our Montréal bike tour, we show you some of our main interests like the majestic mountain park we locals simply call the Mountain. We see an abundant amount of mural art in a funky hood produced by our local and creative talent.
We take you to the heart of the entertainment district where MontrĂ©alâs best festivals take place. We cruise by the old Red Light and MontrĂ©alâs Gay Village. We have a reputation for being a party city. This city is the cultural capital of Canada find out why along the way!
Weâll be checking out the river from a great vantage point away from the tourist crowds of Old MontrĂ©al. We sometimes can forget we live on an island. Next, we explore the charming Plateau neighbourhood by bike. After a lunch picnic and craft beer in an off the beaten path park, follow your guide through typical staircase decorated residential streets, the most beautiful parks in MontrĂ©al, and the back green alleys of the boroughs we call home. A great local overview!

In the beginning of the tour, Jeff described the tour perfectly when he said âThis is the kind of tour you take your close friends onâ. We loved seeing the non-touristy parts of Montreal - where people actually live, eat and hang out. Jeffâs enthusiasm for his city truly elevates the tour! Also their cheat sheet for recommendations was spot on. 100% would recommend taking this bike tour!

Great tour! Saw a lot of Montreal, including murals and parks. Was a lovely way to spend time outdoors and getting a little exercise while also exploring. Would encourage participants to be comfortable riding bikes in bike lanes and also in the road.

I am so glad I went on this bike tour! It was a very entertaining and informative 4 hours. Damascus and Danny, our guides, were outstanding, sharing their insights as natives on what makes Montreal such a special place. Rather than the tourist sites one would expect a tour to highlight, this tour focused on off-the-radar spots and neighborhoods that the guides find special about their city. I learned a lot of interesting history along the way, and Danny is WAY funny, too. The lunch was quite tasty and filling and it was fun to picnic in one of the parks we stopped at. The bikes were quite comfortable and easy to ride and maneuver. I was surprised at how safe it was to ride a bike through such a big city, a testament to how awesome it is to have a city so invested in its biking infrastructure.

This tour is not to be missed! The bikes were in excellent condition, our guide Amelie was outstanding, and this was a fun and interesting way to get a feel for not only the history of Montreal, but also the way of life of locals today. The route was thoughtful and felt completely safe, and our guide always made sure the group stayed together. And the lunch provided was so delicious!! Thank you so much for this incredible experience!!

Great tour - lots of information about Montreal and its history. Perfect split between biking and stops for education about the city along with a sandwich and beer picnic in the park.
