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.

Really enjoyed seeing all of Halifax with our guide, Gift. We learned a little about the city and its history. The parks, the citadel, the ride were all wonderful. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your review and recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed exploring Halifax with Gift and that the parks, Citadel, and ride were highlights of your experience. We’re especially glad you got to learn a little about Halifax’s history along the way. Again, we truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back again! 😁
We would strongly recommend you be comfortable riding an e-bike. Wear comfortable loose clothing and good running shoes. The operator should give the client a choice of what kind of e-bike they want. We would also recommend that the tour guide offer opportunities to take pictures at the various stops. Another suggestion is to offer the person a chance to dip your toes into the ocean at Point Pleasant. All in all it was a great and fun bike tour!
Thank you for your review, James! We appreciate you taking time to provide us with feedback and providing recommendations on how to be most comfortable on our tour. Booking tours directly on our website (iheartbikeshfx.com) allows you to pick which e-bike (or e-trike) you prefer, but booking through third party organizations may not always allow you to choose your bike ahead of time. If you’d like to book again in the future, we recommend using our website to make the booking so you can choose your desired bike 😊 We’re sorry if you felt like you were not given the opportunity to take pictures, on your tour, but guests are always welcome to take photos at the different stops along the tour. Tour guides are also always willing to take photos you and your group while stopped! Again, we appreciate your feedback, and we hope to see you again! 😁🚲
Tour was fun, beautiful & informative. The bikes are easy to ride and don't take long to get the hang of if you haven't ridden one before.
Thank you for the review, Bradley! We’re so happy to hear you found the tour fun, beautiful, and informative. We love hearing that you enjoyed the bikes and found them easy to get comfortable with—even if you’re unfamiliar with our e-bikes! It was a pleasure having you along, and we hope to see you again for another ride in Halifax! 😁
We very much enjoyed our ride through Halifax. Our guide safely guided the group of 6 riders on a couple of short road sections. Most of the ride was either on park gravel paths or bike lanes. We made all the planned stops including a timely arrival at the Citadel for the noon cannon shot and changing of the guards.
Thank you so much for the great review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your ride through Halifax and felt safe and well guided along the way. It’s great to know you were able to experience a mix of our scenic gravel paths, bike lanes, and historic stops and make it to the Citadel in time for the noon cannon shot and changing of the guard. It was a pleasure having your group of six with us, and we hope to ride with you again on your next visit to Halifax! 😁
Andrew was an excellent tour guide and Sinclair made sure everyone stayed safe. Very knowledgeable and entertaining. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great time with your tour guides. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to both of them. They’ll be so happy to know their knowledge, entertainment, and attention to safety helped make your experience a memorable one.

My husband and i love doing bike tours when available at our destinations. Its the best way to see parts of a city or town that you wouldn't normally know about, or to go and check out. Our tour guide was amazing (I want to say her name was Rebecca... but can't truly recall!!!), and so knowledgeable of Halifax facts! She definitely left us with great information while having a fun time and getting a little exercise! Don't hesitate with this one! Its worth every penny! The best was the earpiece everyone was given, connected to the guide at the front! We were given information while we rode, and it was a brilliant way to hear about all of the places we were riding by.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed exploring Halifax by bike and discovered some new places along the way. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Rebecca (you remembered correctly 😁). She’ll be delighted to know her local knowledge and enthusiasm helped make the tour so memorable! We’re especially glad you enjoyed the earpiece system. Being able to hear the stories and history as you ride really does make the experience that much more enjoyable. Thank you again for choosing us and for recommending the tour—we’d love to have you join us again 🚲😊
Our guide for this beautiful excursion was Raunaq. Throughout the journey, he didn’t hesitate to go the extra mile, whether it was to recommend restaurants, point out highlights along our route to Peggy’s Cove, or take pictures for us. His outgoing personality and warm welcome made the experience that much better and make it clear that he enjoys what he’s doing.
Our guide Zinhle was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We enjoyed the tour tremendously, especially the visit to the park.
Thank you for such a lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Zinhle was able to provide you with fun information about the city. We truly appreciate you choosing to tour with us and hope to see you again! 🚴
Our e-bike tour with Andrew was a terrific way to see and get to know Halifax . Toured green spaces that we likely would never had found on our own . E-bike made getting around efficient . Headsets provided information while biking , which allowed for more biking and less stopping for explanations . Information was nice mix of history and personal anecdotes . Highly recommend this tour and Andrew as guide .
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring Halifax by e-bike and discovering some of the more green spaces in the city. We’re also glad you enjoyed the mix of local history and personal stories, and that the headsets allowed you to keep riding while learning along the way. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure!
Had a good time on this e-bike tour. The weather was not great-misty. But still would do it again. Andrew was a great guide and very informative.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the e-bike tour, even with the misty weather. Sometimes the unique conditions make for an even more memorable adventure. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Andrew — he’ll be happy to hear that you enjoyed his knowledge and guidance. We’d love to have you ride with us again on your next visit!
