About this activity
Our guided small-group rides are a fun, safe activity and a great way to get out, explore, and connect.
This authentic tour goes beyond downtown into Montreal's hip, must-see 'hoods, giving you a behind-the-scenes feel for the city's relaxed way of life. We'll set you up on a quality bike that's a genuine pleasure to ride, then lead you on a loop route along uncrowded bike paths, quiet streets, and charming green laneways.
This is our staff-favourite tour. You'll cruise through the artsy Plateau and Mile-End, take in views of Mont-Royal from Outremont, then roll on to the charming neighbourhoods of Little Italy and Petite-Patrie. Your guide is one of our specially trained Montreal ambassadors, there to share the stories of Montrealers and their culture, from musical heroes to culinary icons to the open-minded residents and students who fill these streets today. Even if you've lived here for years, you'll discover something new.

WATER

RAIN POLICY
We know you are here for just a couple of days, so the tour will run rain or shine and would only be cancelled in case we evaluate is not safe or fun to ride. Since the weather in Montreal changes very drastically and very often (we’re on a island!), if we have to cancel a tour, it will always be in person, at the meeting point and a couple of minutes before the departure (never in advance). So the rule is: even if it rains, come to the meeting point on time. There’s a high chance that your tour will happen!
BOTA BOTA SPA DISCOUNT
Our guests are be offered a special price at Bota Bota, a high end floating spa in the Old Port area (CAD $65 instead of $85). Let us know if you are interested and we'll help you with the booking. Absolutely recommended!
