Excursion vélo / vélo électrique : Plateau, Mile-End, Marché Jean-Talon par Fitz
Description
Nos promenades guidées en petit groupe sont une activité amusante et sécuritaire et un excellent moyen de sortir, d'explorer et de créer des liens. Cette visite authentique va au-delà du centre-ville, dans les quartiers branchés et incontournables de Montréal, pour vous faire découvrir les coulisses du mode de vie décontracté de la ville. Nous vous installerons sur un vélo de qualité qui est un véritable plaisir de rouler, puis vous mènerons sur un parcours en boucle le long de pistes cyclables peu fréquentées, de rues calmes et de charmantes ruelles vertes. C'est notre visite préférée du personnel. Vous traverserez le Plateau et le Mile-End, admirerez le Mont-Royal depuis Outremont, puis roulerez vers les charmants quartiers de Little Italy et de Petite-Patrie. Votre Guide est l'un de nos ambassadeurs montréalais spécialement formés, là pour partager les histoires des Montréalais et de leur culture, des héros musicaux aux icônes culinaires en passant par les résidents et les étudiants ouverts d'esprit qui envahissent ces rues aujourd'hui. Même si vous vivez ici depuis des années, vous découvrirez quelque chose de nouveau.

What a wonderful way to learn about Montreal! Our guide Felix was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, funny, supportive, inclusive, and more. Our regular (non-e) bikes were very comfortable and it was such a pleasure to bike and learn together. This was our family’s favorite part of the trip. Highly recommend it!
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! Felix is going to be absolutely thrilled to read your wonderful words! Hearing that he was not only knowledgeable and funny, but also supportive, kind, and inclusive, means the world to us. He truly prides himself on making sure every single guest feels comfortable and fully included throughout the ride. We are also so happy to hear that our regular city bikes kept you riding in comfort, and that the tour ended up being your family's favorite part of your trip to Montreal—that is the ultimate compliment for our team! Thank you again for the high recommendation. We hope your family takes home wonderful memories of our city, and we would love to welcome you all back onto the bike paths next time your travels bring you here! Safe travels!
If you want to experience the true soul of Montreal from a local perspective, look no further than this bike tour. We had the pleasure of having Jeff as our guide and he was the best! From the very beginning, Jeff was incredibly friendly and approachable, making the entire group feel right at home. What really set this tour apart, however, was Jeff’s depth of knowledge. As a college history professor in his "day job," he brought such a fascinating, intellectual perspective to the city’s diverse ethnic neighborhoods. It was a highlight to hear him share personal stories about his own Portuguese heritage from his grandparents emigration to Canada in the 50s to his Portuguese Canadian life experience and how it connects to the history of the city. It added such a rich, human element to the experience. The pacing of the tour was absolutely perfect. It struck the ideal balance between just enough exercise (a light work-out) and plenty of well-timed stops to experience neighborhoods off the beaten path. Snacks along the way were a fantastic touch! We couldn't have asked for a better way to see Montreal and cannot recommend this tour highly enough. Thank you, Jeff, for such a wonderful memory!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a beautifully detailed and thoughtful review! **Jeff** is going to be absolutely touched when he reads your kind words! We are incredibly lucky to have him on our team—having a **college history professor** as a guide is truly a special treat, and we love how he seamlessly weaves his academic expertise with his natural warmth and storytelling. Hearing about how he shared his personal family history—from his grandparents' emigration from Portugal in the 1950s to his own life as a Portuguese-Canadian in Montreal—is exactly what we strive for. We believe that the best way to understand a city's soul is through the real, human stories of the people who live here, and we are so glad that personal connection resonated so deeply with you. We are also thrilled that you loved the pacing of the ride! Striking that perfect balance between a **light, refreshing workout** and plenty of relaxed stops to explore **local neighborhoods off the beaten path** (with some tasty local snacks to keep the energy up!) is exactly how we like to roll. Thank you again for your high recommendation and for choosing to experience the true soul of Montreal with us. We hope these wonderful memories stay with you for a long time, and we would love to welcome you back for another ride whenever you return to the city! Safe travels!
Super easy, very friendly, knowledgeable and took us to where we wanted to go and more (places we didn’t know much). Anne-Marie (AM) is very cool and took care of all 9 of us, adults from different parts of North America. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! Anne-Marie (AM) is going to be absolutely thrilled to read your comments. Taking care of a group of 9 adults from all over North America and keeping everything smooth, easy, and fun is exactly what she does best! She loves customizing the ride to make sure you see what you're interested in, while also throwing in those hidden local gems that you wouldn't find in a regular guidebook. We are so glad the whole group had such a fantastic and friendly introduction to Montreal. Thank you for the high recommendation! We hope your crew takes home wonderful memories of the city, and we would love to welcome you all back on the bike paths for your next big gathering! Safe travels!
Great tour. Good fun. Chris was the best!
Simple and effective, love it !
to say it was the highlight of the trip is an understatement! we took this ride on our second day of a 5 day trip and it was a great choice to get more background on the areas we were planning to spend our time in, but we actually toured so many more places than i could have imagined. will never forget that fresh from the oven bagel 🤤 JF was the best tour guide, we were lucky to have a tour just for my partner and i and he tailored the tour just for us based on our interests. JF is extremely knowledgeable about Montreal and showed us so many hidden gems we are going to have to come back to properly explore them all! also can’t speak enough about how friendly and accommodating the city is in general but particularly to bikes, i never had an issue despite some anxiety about city riding beforehand, and we succeeded in not getting honked at once 😂
Thank you so much for this incredible review! Hearing that our tour was the highlight of your entire 5-day trip to Montreal is the absolute best compliment we could ever receive. JF is going to be over the moon when he reads this! He absolutely loves tailoring the experience when he gets a private group, and it’s wonderful to hear that his deep knowledge and hidden gems gave you a whole list of reasons to come back and visit us again. And yes—there is truly nothing on earth quite like a Montreal bagel fresh out of the wood-fired oven! 🤤 We also completely understand the anxiety around urban cycling, so it is fantastic to hear how safe and comfortable you felt. Montreal really prides itself on its bike-friendly culture, but getting through the whole ride without a single honk is definitely a badge of honor! Thank you again for choosing to explore the city with us so early in your trip. We can't wait to welcome you and your partner back to dive even deeper into those hidden gems next time! Safe travels!
We had the absolute BEST time with our guide JF doing the Hidden Gems Bike Tour. His enthusiasm and love for the city really makes the tour so much more personal than just the facts/history of Montreal - of which he has extensive knowledge as well! He showed us so many spots we absolutely never would have known about or noticed without being led there directly, in addition to hitting up some of the city’s most well-known spots like Jean Talon Market and St. Viateur Bagel Shop (so delicious!). We felt completely comfortable and safe cycling, even though it had been some years since we’d gotten on a bike. The city itself is incredibly cyclist-friendly, but JF’s confident leadership and expert navigation made it an absolute worry-free experience. This was my 2nd time doing a tour with Fitz Montreal and both times it’s been the #1 highlight of my trip. If you visit Montreal and DON’T do a tour with them, you’re missing out on something so, so special. I told JF at the end of the tour that I was so happy I could cry. We got an accidental private tour with just the two of us, but my previous tour of The Highlights was a larger group; both experiences were absolutely incredible. Even though I’ve done both of the tours they currently offer, there is no doubt in my mind that on my next visit to Montreal I will do one of them again. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you so much for this absolutely incredible review! Reading this has honestly made our whole team's day (and we might be the ones getting a little teary-eyed now, too!). Hearing that this was your second time touring with us, and that both times have been the absolute #1 highlight of your trips to Montreal, is the ultimate compliment. Whether it's a bustling group on the Highlights tour or an accidental private route through our Hidden Gems, we always want that magic to stay the same. JF is going to be absolutely over the moon when he reads this. He pours so much of his own passion and love for Montreal into every single ride, and knowing that his enthusiasm, hidden spots, and confident navigation made you feel completely safe and worry-free—even after some years off a bike—means the world to us. And yes, getting those fresh St-Viateur bagels and wandering through Jean-Talon Market is always pure bliss! Thank you for being such an amazing ambassador for Fitz Montreal and for recommending us so highly. We are already counting down the days until your next visit—we will gladly take you out on the paths for a third time whenever you're back in town! Safe travels!
Darren did a great job showing us what it would be like to live in the less explored neighborhoods of Montreal.
Thanks so much for this! Getting people off the beaten path and into Montreal's lesser-known neighbourhoods is exactly what we love to do, so it's great to hear Darren delivered.
Great bike tour with Anna! Awesome way to see Montreal, will recommend to anyone I know who is coming here.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review and the high recommendation! Anna is going to be absolutely thrilled to hear your kind words—she loves showing off the best parts of Montreal and making sure everyone has an awesome time on the paths. Word-of-mouth is everything to us, so we truly appreciate you offering to recommend the tour to your friends and family visiting the city. Thank you again for riding with us, and we hope to welcome you or your crew back for another great adventure in the future! Safe travels!

Thank you so much for this wonderful shout-out to Anne-Marie! She is going to be absolutely thrilled to read your review. Keeping everyone safe while showing off the most beautiful bike routes in the city is exactly what she does best, and we are so glad you got to experience her intimate knowledge of Montreal's best food and drink stops!
