Great guide, good information and history on the sreai
We had visited Montmorency Falls the day before (very briefly with our large group tour) so were initially concerned that this would be a wasted trip. I’m pleased to say that it was not, and not by a long shot! The guide (I forget his name but a gentleman in his late 50s to early 60s who is a bike enthusiast and a just a tiny but crazy — in a good way) made the trip amazing. He is a born and bred Québécois who is absolutely in love with his province and city and it shows. The trip on the e-bikes was so informative and full of little details about the city, both recent and historic and full of his local flavor. On the way out to the falls we stopped a number of times to look at the local rivers, parks, and get a better feel for the land. The bikes were easy to use and he set a reasonable pace. Once reaching the falls, we took the gondola up, and then had a walking tour across the falls and then down the stairs where we got a bit damp. The ride back was followed by a small snack and beer tasting at the beer garden next door. This was a highly enjoyable experience and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a nice bike ride and wants to hear a local with character give their view on this wonderful city and countryside.
A great biking tour. We had a great guide, a good itinerary with interesting sites and good quality e-bikes. Finished off the lovely craft beer and tasty snacks.
We wanted to see the Montmorency Falls, so what better way to do that than take an e-bike tour of the city including the Falls! Mark, our guide, was friendly & helpful. He got us all set up with helmets, bikes and made sure we were all at ease with our bikes before taking off on our adventure. Mark was very knowledgeable about the city, and very good at pointing out interesting places along the way. Our time at the falls was amazing and he gave us a lot of info about them as we waited for the cable car and walked around at the top. The trip back went smoothly and we all enjoyed tasting some local craft beers at the micro brewery. Perfect day with a great guide! It was a pleasure to spend the day with someone who truly loves his city! Thanks again, Mark!
Amazing experience! The ride to Montmorency Falls was scenic and easy with the eBikes. Our guide, Jake, was friendly, chatty, and very knowledgeable — he really brought the tour to life. Loved learning about the area and ending at a local microbrewery was the perfect touch. Highly recommend this tour for a fun and unique way to explore Quebec City!

We went with Jacob. He was great. He brought a local treat and offered additional tour options. He knew all the history and facts as well as current information about the tour and sites. Riding about 17 miles on flat roads was easy on the e bikes and safe on the bike trails.
Bikes were great and guide even better! We had three hours on the trail. It was a very easy ride and could have easily been done without the E part.
Jacob made the day fantastic! He custom-designed a trip for us based on our interests. He was very accommodating, checked in frequently for our safety, was highly personable, and we could tell our satisfaction was important to him. There was a nice break in the middle of the trip at the falls which were spectacular! We would book another trip with him in a heartbeat!
Our guide Mark was fantastic. The tour was in the heat of the day,but he made it quite enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable and loved his country. The falls were beautiful a must do if you come to Quebec City. The electric bike ride made It more enjoyable.
The bikes were ideal for the trip and as a family we really enjoyed the cycling aspect. The host, Jacob, was fantastic. He clearly enjoys his role and this came across with the enthusiasm he had for sharing information and ensuring everyone was having a good time. The combination of riding e-bikes and visiting the Montmorency Falls was perfect and what better way to finish a tour than at a microbrewery at which the food was lovely.
