Bike / E-bike Tour : Downtown, Old Montreal, Waterfront by Fitz
Description
Our guided small-group rides are a fun, safe, and easy way to experience bike-friendly Montreal. This is a must-do for any visitor, an accessible way to take in the city's key landmarks while enjoying its urban nature along the way. Expect photogenic scenes at every turn and real insight into Montreal's unique vibe, culture, and history. We'll set you up on a quality bike that's a genuine pleasure to ride, then lead you on a loop route along Montreal's impressive bike paths, quiet streets, and hidden laneways. This is our most popular tour. You'll cruise through Old Montreal, the Old Port and Riverfront, Downtown, and the charming neighbourhoods of Le Plateau and Le Village. Your guide is one of our specially trained Montreal ambassadors, who'll gradually unravel the city's story, which plays a big part in Canada's own. Along the way, you'll pause at scenic break spots to take in the cityscape, natural views, architecture, outdoor art, and everyday neighbourhood life.

We booked the 3-hour highlights tour as a private tour for the four of us as a family. Originally only because the group tour was already booked up when we made our last-minute reservation, the private tour turned out to be perfect for us: Not only were we able to choose parts of the tour ourselves, but we also had the perfect guide in Jeff - super nice, relaxed, and interesting in his presentation. In the 3 hours, we were able to discover Montreal Downtown, Plateau, Old Montreal / Port, and also the neighborhoods along the canal really well, and since both the bikes (absolutely good) and the weather (perfect) really cooperated, it turned into a really great afternoon!
Our guide Jamie was great and knowledgeable and helpful and friendly, the bikes were clean and comfortable but for almost $100 a person the value was not there. I've done bike tours in other city's for half the cost and had a better time
Jeff is a fantastic guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. We had a great tour, and it’s a great way to see the city. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are so glad to hear you had such a great time exploring the city with Jeff. Jeff is truly wonderful at making everyone feel welcome while sharing his passion for Montréal, and he will be thrilled to hear your kind words! Thank you for the high recommendation and for riding with us—we hope to welcome you back for another great tour next time you're in town! 🚲✨

Great way to spend the afternoon in Montreal! We learned so much about the area and enjoyed seeing the beautiful sights while tooling around on our electric bikes. Our guide, Amelie, was very knowledgeable and fun. I highly recommend this experience.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! **Amélie** is going to be absolutely thrilled to read your kind words! She loves sharing the city's sights and stories, and hearing that her knowledge and fun energy made your afternoon so special means the world to us. We are also so glad you enjoyed exploring on our **electric bikes**! They really are the best way to tool around Montreal comfortably, take in the sights, and cover plenty of ground without breaking a sweat. Thank you again for your high recommendation and for choosing to ride with us here at Fitz. We would love to welcome you back onto the bike paths next time you are in town! Safe travels!
Rufus was a fantastic guide. I would highly recommend to anyone going to Montreal. While we probably didn't need the ebike it sure was nice when heading up some of the hills. After the tour ended they gave great suggestions of other places to check out in the city.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! **Rufus** is going to be absolutely thrilled to read your kind words! He loves sharing his passion for Montreal, and making sure our guests leave with plenty of great local recommendations for the rest of their trip is always a top priority for him and the team. We also got a smile out of your note about the **e-bikes**—that extra electric boost is definitely a treat when tackling some of Montreal's signature hills! It’s all about keeping the ride relaxed, fun, and effortless so you can focus entirely on enjoying the sights and stories of the city. Thank you again for your high recommendation and for choosing to ride with us here at Fitz. We would love to welcome you back onto the bike paths next time your travels bring you to Montreal! Safe travels!
Great way to see the city. Get the e-bike if you’re older. It’s pretty flat but does help with the few hills. Jessi was fantastic!
Thank you so much for the great review and helpful tip! We couldn't agree more—the e-bikes are a fantastic choice for cruising up those few tricky hills with ease! Jessi is wonderful, and she will be so happy to hear that her guide work made such a great impression on your tour. We hope to welcome you back for another smooth ride next time you're in Montreal! 🚲✨
The tour was easy to book. The staff were friendly and professional. We had a great tour guide and were able to see multiple sights around the city with neat historical information.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We are so glad to hear that the booking process was smooth, our team made you feel welcome, and your guide gave you such an engaging deep dive into Montreal's rich history! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another tour next time you're in the city! 🚲✨
Tip: if you are not in decent biking shape, get the e-bike it would make the experience more enjoyable. My buddy and I were and we enjoyed the extra effort keeping up with Rodrigo :) There’s not a better way to see a city than on a bike, and Montreal was perfect. Rodrigo safely navigated us through various parts of the city and the stops were nice as he was a wealth of information from history to architecture. I had a backpack with water and they threw on a front basket to store it which made more comfortable and cooling while riding. They offer other tours through the city, if we had time we would do them.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review and great advice! Getting an e-bike is definitely a great call for extra comfort, though we love that you and your buddy enjoyed the workout and kept right up with Rodrigo! Rodrigo will be thrilled to hear your kind words about his safety leadership and local knowledge of Montreal's history and architecture. We're also glad the team could easily hook you up with a front basket so you could ride comfortably without that heavy backpack! We really appreciate you riding with Fitz, and we'd love to take you out on one of our other city tours next time you're back in town! 🚲✨
