Itinerary
Our adventure will start on the Halifax boardwalk. Starting here we will learn about the four main historical populations involved in Halifax’s history.
Point Pleasant Park is the largest green space on Peninsular Halifax and Haligonians most loved. This park is a must see in Halifax. Here we will make 3 stops inside the park and cycle the sea wall.
Here every one will get the chance to park their bikes and receive some free time explore this exquisite Victorian Garden.
During this tour we will cycle the perimeter of the Citadel, learn about its history and also discover the circumstances around the Halifax Explosion. Our 10:00 departure includes the noon cannon and changing of the guards.
The Halifax Central Library is considered one of the most beautiful libraries in the world! During this tour we will learn about it design and have time to visit the green roof at the top.
After cycling down Halifax’s only pedestrian street and home of our night life (Argyle Street), we will stop at Grand Parade to bring together the history and culture we experienced throughout the tour before heading back to our waterfront shop.

Rebecca was amazing. We had a fantastic ride and saw all of the main sites. She provided great information about the history and features at each stop. Highly recommended!
This was the most enjoyable way to see the highlights that Halifax has to offer. Our tour guide, Rebecca was both knowledgeable and personable. As novice bikers, we were able to maintain the pace required on this tour.
Not real strenuous with the ebikes, nice city your. Rebecca was our guide and was very attentive and helpful to any questions
Great experience. Nice tour. Very much recommended Thanks to Andrew and Suzy Thanks Thanks for great time
What a rainy day, but so much fun! Andrew was our guide and made biking through Halifax in downpour rain both fun and interesting. The earpieces allowed us to listen to stories and information about the area while also staying safe on the roads. Andrew is a young man with a great personality who calmly guides you through town with interesting stories. He kept it light and fun on a dreary day, but we're so glad to have met him and enjoyed experience of biking through Halufax! The e-bike assist feature was a new experience for us, and a game changer on the hills. Pedaling is so much easier these days!
As a group of five ladies, we had a private 3 hr e-bike tour of Halifax with Andrew! It was the perfect way to start our trip to get our bearings around this beautiful city. Andrew was an amazing guide - he safely navigated us through the city while keeping a great pace. We were impressed by his knowledge of the sights and history. We loved his stories. Overall, we had a very positive experience and we would highly recommend this tour with Andrew!
We only had an afternoon in Halifax before our flight back home to Scotland so decided to take a tour to get the most out of our visit and we weren't disappointed. Gift was our guide and we were in good hands navigating through the city. Really friendly and knowledgeable, allowing plenty of time at the stops to look around without ever feeling rushed.
Andrew was our tour guide and was excellent. We have enjoyed ebike tours in several cities and he was one of the best. We were provided with ear pieces which was excelent and new technology, so as we cycled Andrew was able to point things out in transit between stops. This also improved safety because he communicated directions in advance. The bikes were excellent and despite a couple in the group struggling with the technology were without problems. The only reason we did not score it 5 was due to the duration of the experience. It was advertised as 3 hours and only lasted 2.5 so we felt a little short changed from the experience.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We’re thrilled to hear Andrew made such a strong impression and that the Bluetooth earpiece system helped make the experience both engaging and safe while riding — we’ve found it really enhances the ability to share Halifax’s stories between stops. We also appreciate your comments regarding the tour duration. We understand how this could feel disappointing if you were expecting exactly 3 hours. One thing worth noting is that Viator/Trip Advisor currently requires us to list a fixed duration, whereas on our website we describe the experience as approximately 2.5–3 hours. Actual timing can vary slightly depending on group size, riding pace, traffic conditions, questions and discussions at stops, and other factors outside our control. Larger groups in particular often take longer, while smaller groups may move through the route more efficiently. We truly appreciate the feedback and will continue looking at ways to better set expectations across all booking platforms. Thank you again for riding with us and we hope to welcome you back on another adventure in the future!
Gift was so friendly and knowledgeable. I wish it did the titanic cemetery and more about the titanic. Didn’t care for the tour of the port, but the park was worth the ride through the industrial center. I wish we had stopped at an old church and that gift told us more about the old buildings. The bikes were fantastic!!!
This bike tour was a great way to see the city. Our tour guide, Miranda, was very knowledgeable and shared a bit of the history associated with each stop. She really knew her stuff. I was worried about using an e-bike, but it was easy to master and the route was very doable for all abilities.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! 🚲💙 We’re so happy to hear the e-bike helped make exploring Halifax feel approachable and fun. E-bikes really are such a great way to see more of the city while keeping the ride comfortable for all experience levels. A special thank you for your kind words about Miranda — they’ll be thrilled to hear you enjoyed their storytelling and local knowledge. Halifax has so many great stories to share, and we love bringing them to life along the ride. Thanks again for joining us and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Halifax someday! ✨
