I liked to have the highlights of Montreal on my first day in the city. The guide explained the history of Montreal and gave some tips about places we would like to see during our stay. He also recommended a local place for lunch close to our meeting point (the bike rental place). We were a small group (five people), which made the tour easier. I loved biking through Montreal with nice weather.

The tour was excellent and I highly recommend it. Our guide Darren was awesome! The ride was easy and I learnt heaps about Montreal and the all the different areas of the town which was the goal. The tour group was small (8) and Darren helped us all get to know each other. The bikes were in great condition, helmets were comfy and the number of stops was ideal - there were also two rest room breaks. You should come prepared with a drink bottle and comfortable clothes and shoes for riding and a jacket. Thanks so much Darren - we loved all the interesting sordid Montreal stories and history!

Darren, our guide, was excellent. He had a thorough knowledge of Montreal culture, history and economy and made it all interesting and fun. We covered a large swath of the city and felt safe in his leadership. It was a great introduction to life in Montreal and my husband, 2 sons and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
