5.00I and my wife had the pleasure of a guided bike tour by Brier around Banff and the surrounding countryside. She was a very knowledgeable guide stopping at various points to show us the best views and to talk about what we were seeing. Smashing views at unexpected points and lots of wildlife, the e-bikes had plenty of power (my wife rode a lot without electric assistance) and hardly any traffic on the roads. Overall we had a great afternoon, thank you.
Couldn’t recommend enough!

5.00Highly recommend this guided ride. Our family of four including 2 twenty something kids is still talking about this fun, scenic and obviously memorable e-bike tour through Banff along the river with mountain vistas and past the golf course with elk! Our British guide was an easy going leader who gave us just enough attention and space, plus one of our best holiday card photos. The Norquay group was flexible and welcoming -- a bonus was having their windbreakers - of course in addition to the bikes.
Highly recommend!
