I did the 3 hour Architecture bike tour with Mike who was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable about the history and buildings of Montreal and very good on keeping everyone safe. There were nine of us on the tour (3 French speakers and 6 English).
I took an e-bike which isn't at all necessary for the 3 hours tour (not a great distance and apart from one hill which we walked up) was pancake-flat.
A bonus for using this company was the facility to retain the bike until 6pm. I used all the time and this is where the e-bike proved to be the correct choice. I covered a lot of miles (& still had plenty of juice left) and was glad of the power assist for the climb up Mont Royal.
Personally I would have liked an extra hour on the architecture of Montreal which is top notch.
For anyone who is keen on renovated buildings I can highy recommend coffee in the former Royal Bank of Canada (360 Rue St Jacques) and lunch in the superb art deco restaurant Le9 in the Eaton Centre. A veritable treat.

Fantastic experience, everyone at the bike shop was absolutely lovely and went out of their way to be helpful. Our guide was also wonderful, taught us a lot about the city and was great at answering all our questions. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Montreal, especially for the first time!

We had a pre-booked guided bike tour through the wonderful city of montreal. Although it looked like we would be the only 2 drivers, the company was ready to not cancel it. That was already a nice entering into the tour!
Happily there were 5 more people to join, so we were a nice group.
The company did a great job in processing everything for the tour. Every single member was very friendly and heplful. The tour was done by guide Mike, wo was really doing his job with passion. He kept the tour intersting at all times and made it for us a long time memory of our trip!

Mike, our guide was very knowledgeable and humorous. The free drink coupons were a nice bonus, but good at only one restaurant. One bike in our group of 8 was defective and the rider fell and was injured. The shop sent a van to scoop her up while the rest of the group continued. The trail was difficult in one area where we had to push the bikes up a hill to a scary bridge for those afraid of heights.

Not enough bike riding. We left the tour after 45 minutes and had riden the bike for about 6-7 minutes. We stopped at the first location and the tour guide talked about history of Montreal for over 20 minutes. We went to second stop and again way too much history talking. We did not choose a history tour we chose a bike/architectural tour. As our visit in Montreal continued we saw so much interesting architecture. This tour may have gotten to more talk about architecture but we were not going to waste more time in this beautiful city. Please change your description of the tour to state HISTORY and that for a 3 hour tour I’m guessing there is less than 1 hour of actual bike riding.

Guide Mike was awesome. Knowledgeable and entertaining. Very interactive and interesting. The place you pick up the bikes allow you to keep the bike after the tour until 6:00pm. So a very nice bonus. Saw all parts of the city that would be difficult to see without a bike. All around a very lovely experience.

Get experience. Julian was very informative, you could hear the love of his city in his stories.
We were able to keep the e-bikes for the remainder of the day at no additional costs. All the bike rental staff were very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.

Nicholas was a fantastic tour guide- he was knowledgeable and we felt safe touring the streets of Montreal. There were many stops so it was not a difficult excursion. We saw beautiful trails and parks as well as interesting architecture.

Our guide was "Mike on a Bike" and he was amazing - he did the entire tour in both English AND French for our mixed group! We learned lots of interesting facts about Montreal. The ride over the bridge is definitely not for the faint of heart, but we had a wonderful day overall. Thanks!
