Amazing experience with a combination of history and exploring the beautiful island! Very well organized tour! We were greeted as soon as we entered the parking lot by the owner and guide! Tony was our guide and he was so knowledgeable and patient with our group and never rushed us but kept the group engaged! Great combination of tastings of all the exquisite home grown fruits maple syrup and chocolate and the vineyard is picturesque! E-bikes are comfortable and easy to ride! Beautiful and perfect way to explore the Island! Did not disappoint!!!
Such an amazing experience ! Our guide was very informative and funny, we explored and tasted a lot of different foods on Ile d’Orléans ! I Highly recommend
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!

Thanks again for the recommendation, and we hope to see you back on the island someday! 🚴🌦️🍁🍫🍷 We have a new café!

OMG thank you for both reviews, you guys are amazing! See you again sometime!
This E bike tour was a great way to visit Ile d'Orléans. We really wanted to visit this island, however, we did not rent a car, so this e-bike tour was really a great way to go. We had fun tasting apples, maple syrup, tasting wine and cheese, and biking through very scenic views. Our guide, Mariana, was extraordinarily knowledgeable (and it turns out also fluent in three language languages). She was delightful and fun and took great care to make sure we were all safe on this ride. We really enjoyed this and would highly recommend it as a way to visit part of Ile d'Orléans.
Thank you for this wonderful review! We’re so happy you enjoyed discovering Île d’Orléans by e-bike and tasting local products along the way. Mariana will be thrilled to hear your kind words—she truly loves sharing the island and keeping everyone safe. We’re glad the tour made your visit easy and memorable, and we hope to ride with you again!
Our guide was Marianne. She is lovely. Very friendly, kind, knowledgeable. Our tour was excellent- all the tastings are delicious! The instructions for the e-bikes was perfect. Helmets are provided. Marianne had a bag on her bike that was able to carry any of the treats and souvenirs that we bought along the way. We had an ex excellent tour. We met many wonderful people around the island. We highly recommend the e-bike tour. We came back the next day and drove around the island because we wanted to see more !
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted you had such a great October e-bike tour with Marianne—she’ll be thrilled to read your kind words. We’re glad you enjoyed the tastings, the ride, and the island atmosphere so much that you came back the next day to explore more. Your recommendation means a lot to us—hope to welcome you again! We now have a restaurant and a Cafe on the premises
