Overall, I loved the experience. I especially enjoyed biking through the woods, it was exhilarating. The e-bike was easy to use, even on bumpy roads. The food, wine, and beer were all amazing. Plus, stunning views of the island. I’d 100% do it again, given the chance. Highly recommend!
Guide was great. Knew the place and its history well. E-bikes worked well and were well maintained. Tour was an appropriate duration. Food and drink were excellent.
The bike tour was a real highlight of my stay! The route was beautiful, perfectly organized, and was really fun. Along the way, we were able to try many different regional specialties, which made the tour a very special experience. The guide was friendly, competent, and shared interesting information about the area. The mix of exercise, enjoyment, and great impressions was simply perfect. I can recommend this tour without reservation and would do it again anytime!

Got to bike around this great little island, sample lots of different food/ drinks from the region and learn about their culture. Tony was one of the best tour guides i have ever had. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and relaxed. He was in no hurry to finish.

A wonderful tour. The e-bikes were incredible, you could bike or use it like motorbike. I would highly recommend doing this. Everything we tried was delicious.
Thank you so much William for your wonderful review and recommendation! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the guided e-bike tour and the tastings on Île d’Orléans. Electric bikes are truly one of the best ways to explore the island because they give you complete flexibility: you can pedal normally, use the electric assistance on hills, or simply relax and let the motor help you enjoy the scenery. Île d’Orléans is filled with beautiful river views, historic villages, local farms, vineyards, chocolatiers, and passionate producers. Our goal is to combine cycling, history, landscapes, and delicious local products into one memorable experience. We’re especially happy that you enjoyed everything you tasted along the way. The local food and agricultural traditions are a major part of what makes the island so special, and we love introducing visitors to the people and flavours of the region. Thank you again for choosing Quebec Aventure Tours. We hope to welcome you back for another ride and even more discoveries on beautiful Île d’Orléans! 🚴♂️🍓🍫🍷

One of the best tours I’ve been on. The e-bikes are really easy to use and they are a great way to get around the island. The tour guide Tony was super knowledgeable and fun to be around. We tried chocolate, ice cream, wine, beer, strawberries and maple products, all of which were delicious. Highly recommend this tour!
Hello Katherine, we love your review! Thank you very much for highlighting the charms of the island and the skills of our guide! We are happy to share our island!
Highly recommend the e-bike tour! Mariana was a fantastic guide for our small group. It was our first time on e-bikes. We felt very safe and comfortable, and enjoyed the sights and the occasional turbo boost! Mariana was very knowledgeable about the history, architecture and settlement of Ile d’Orleans, and was so accommodating to our preferences at each stop (e.g., vegetarian, chocolate and wine tasting preferences). She even indulged us in a little Spanish along the way, as we are trying to learn that language too. 😊
Oh wow, thank you very much! Your comment is appreciated by Mariana, she's a great guide. We are happy to see you enjoyed the wonders of our island! See you next time on one of our Quebec City tours or at our new café! Merci.
This bike tour was the highlight of our trip (even in the rain)!! We were skeptical about the weather at first because it was raining, but the tour company gave us ponchos. Our tour guide, Toni, was incredible - he went above and beyond and told so many stories about the island and its history (and he even dried off our bike seats at each stop). All of the local businesses we stopped at were so nice - we did wine tasting, chocolate tasting, and maple syrup tasting. The E-bikes were very easy to use, and you could peddle as much or as little as you liked. Highly recommend this tour if you are in the area!
Hello guys, thank you so much for braving the weather with us! 😊 Rain or shine, Île d’Orléans always has something special to offer, and we’re glad you got to experience it. It was a pleasure sharing the island’s stories, history, and local flavours with you. Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back on the island someday! 🚴🌦️🍁🍫🍷 We have a new café!
