What To Expect

Feel like a local during this 4-hour bike-lover’s cycling tour of Montreal. With two distinct excursion choices, covering different aspects of the city’s architecture, history and food, you’re sure to get a great feel for this beautiful French-Canadian metropolis.

Or choose the “Vista Architecture Tour” to explore some of the city’s most unique buildings on a 13-mile (20km) ride, including the Estacade which spans the Saint-Lawrence River, plus food tasting at Montreal's well known bakery, Premiere Moisson.

This legendary bakery has been part of the city's culture and of local people's everyday living since 1957. You will then continue to Mount-Royal Park, into the Victorian ambiance of the Golden Square Mile, cycle through the business district, and conclude your cycling tour in Old Montreal.

A Great Way To Explore Montréal

Scott_B, Aug 2022

We booked the bike tour as a means of demystifying the city shortly after our arrival, and it didn't disappoint. Through Nicolas's expert guidance, we quickly learned about Old Montréal, the Latin Quarter, Plateau Mont Royale, Mile-End, and McGill University, among other places. What a beautiful and fun city! Nicolas brought local color, knowledge, and humor to the experience that made it memorable and fun. Highly recommended!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi. Thank you for your review and great rating about our bike guided tour service in Montreal. Great to read you did enjoy our services. Thank you for your business. All the best !

Great tour but leave out the politics, please

Richard_L, Aug 2022

Mike was a great tour guide. He had a command of the history and facts that made for an interesting tour with some lovely scenery. I really enjoyed it but do want to give some feedback that i kean to be constructive. Tours come with all manner of guests with differing points of view and perspective. I would appreciate it if the political worldview of a guide did not encroach on a tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi. Thank you for your review and comments. Regarding political content, our policy is our guides to present situations in a neutral way. Facts and not personal opinions. I will forward to all of our guides a reminder. Thank you for mentioning it. Regards.

Let Julien show you around Montreal!

yvonneperryh, Aug 2022

Took this tour with my husband on a super hot July day. Bottle of water in hand, and off we went. Julien was a super guide. There were 8 of us, 4 English speakers and 4 Francophiles. Julien switched languages with ease and never seemed tired of repeating himself! Electric bikes are an option with this company, and 4 elected to have the help with the hills. We were on pedal bikes, and didn't have a problem. (Both in our 50s, but in pretty good shape) Over four hours later, we were definitely tired, but had a great overview of the neighborhoods and history of Montreal. Recommend!

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi. Thank you for your comments and great rating. Great to read you did enjoy our guided bike tour with July. Thank you for your reservation with Ça Roule Montreal * Montreal On Wheels. Regards

Great chance to try an electric bike

Wendy_C, Jul 2022

I loved the bike ride. Our tour guide (Nicholas) was nice and knowledgeable about Montreal and willing to answer questions. Im not sure how much I’d call this an “architecture” tour. It was light on info in that area. More focused on interesting facts about the city. For an architecture tour, I’d pick another tour company.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi. Thank you for your review and comments . To clarify and allowed thus other readers to make the right choice, the tour you went on is our Vista-Architecture one. This tour is not only about some nice elements of Montreal’s architecture constructions but also about famous parks and green sites of our city. So therefore, it is not a 100% architectural tour. Thank you for bringing it up and i am sure that this will help customers to select the right tours among the ones offered by us. Best regards

Great way to see the city

Moraig_G, Jul 2022

Excellent tour of Montreal by bike. Our tour guide Mike was excellent throughout. Very knowledgeable and looked after the group at all times no matter what level of ability. This tour is a great way to see Montreal, suitable for all abilities. Added bonus was getting to keep the bikes in the afternoon for further exploring. Shop were very helpful giving maps, locks and sharing information on good routes to take

The best bike tour ever

Janet_P, Jul 2022

Our tour guide Mike was excellent. He was so knowledgeable and engaging. It was so nice to meet different people all over the world. Loves the fresh hot Montreal Bagels and the wine at the end. This was my second time with this company and I would highly recommend this tour

Michael was an excellent...

Mike_B, Jul 2022

Michael was an excellent guide. The tour was supposed to be in English, but their was a Belgium family along, so needed French as well as English. Could have been better if the tour was only in English.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi.Thank you for your review and comments. Glad to read you were satisfied with our guided bike tour service. As for tour language, we do try as much as possible to split English / French group. But rarely, it happens that we just can't depending of inscriptions. Thank you again for choosing Ça Roule Montreal * Montreal On Wheels. Regards

Guide Julie was...

daniel_r, Jun 2022

Guide Julie was definitely enthusiastic and I think it rubbed off on the rest of the group….we got to see many different parts of the city and learned a lot of the history as well…we were impressed enough to come back the next day to rent bikes, only to learn they were free due to the previous day’s tour…we actually saw Julie the next day while we were biking, and she was quick to come greet us…to conclude, I would completely recommend this company ( their staff was so helpful as well ) for any of their outings

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi. Thank you so much for your review and great rating. Great to read that you did enjoy your your with our guide Julie. Thank you for choosing Ça Roule Montreal * Montreal On Wheels. Best regards !

Excellent bicycle tour of Montreal .... great way to see the city!!

Jerry_M, Jun 2022

We enjoyed seeing the 'wall artistry' and getting an on-the-ground experience of Montreal. Pascal was an excellent guide and knows the city very well including how to get around on a bike.

Fun on Wheels in Montreal!

MaryAnn_M, May 2022

What a great way to see & learn about the city! The biking tour with Rene was so much fun! And he was informative, and knew the city well & much more about the architecture here & all over the world. We were so glad to have a guide to follow in the bikes for safety, too.

Tour good, guide not so great

Jill_E, Sep 2021

The bikes were great, and the amount of Montreal we covered in four hours was perfect. Mike, our guide, was so biased about the history, language, religion, politics and socialization of city and province that we didn't get a clear picture of any of those aspects. Many of his assertions were lopsided and from his own lens, while others were complete fabrications. That being said, I would recommend the tour for the great electric-assist bikes and the amount of the city seen during this longer tour. It was great that we were able to keep the bikes after and explore the island and some other places not covered on the tour. A balanced approach to recounting Montreal's history, politics, etc is recommended to make it better.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Hi. I am sorry to read that you were not fully satisfied with your ebike guided bike tour. Our instructions to our guides are for them to be neutral, to act with reserve and present a full and complete picture of events and history. I take this issue very seriously and have already contacted the guide who was assigned to your tour. Correction will take place. Thank you for your comments and review and once again , I am truly sorry about the fact that you were not completely satisfied with our ebbed guided bike tour.

Best trip

Not really about real Montreal but a nice ride along water

sarahbella7, Aug 2021

Not exactly what we were looking for. I was hoping to see some of sights and some history of architecture. But guide took us out of area and explained in OVER detail of city infrastructure and design. Wine and beer is a coupon for house wine. Gross,,,and beer was only coors. Bikes are ok. Customer service at bike shop very nice.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Hi. Sorry to read that you did not fully enjoy your bike tour with us. We will be in touch with the guide to review this matter. Beer and wine: because of pandemic situation, our regular supplier closed its doors. We are dealing with a new supplier. We will review your 'beer-wine issue " with them. Sorry again that you were not fully satisfied.

Biking, a great way to get a feel of the tiwn

Stan_A, Jun 2021

Mike made the entire experience great! We learnt so much information regarding so many different topics. From social to historical to architectural and more - it was amazing.

Response from Host, Jun 2021

Thank you for you review. Highly appreciated. Glad to read that you did enjoy your guided bike tour with our guide Mike, one of our certified guides. Hope to have the occasion to serve you again in the future.

Good time

p_e_snyder, Oct 2019

We loved our guide, Mike. He was very knowledgeable. Pace and length were great. Guys at the shop were quick and great. Only down was we booked an English tour and there were a few French speaking only guests, so he took time to translate everything.

4 Hour Montreal Architecture & City Bike Tour with Drink and Montréal bagel snack!

Shanawar_A, Sep 2019

Our tour guide Mike was very thorough, personable, entertaining and knowledgeable. He spoke both French and English very fluently. He is a native of Montréal/Québec and a teacher by training so he had an amazing knowledge of history which he combined with his wit and logic in a way that kept everyone entertained an attentive throughout the tour. Would highly recommend this for two all who bike riding throughout the city. Most of the bike writing was in dedicated bike lanes however there were a few times when bike lanes were not available. The tour group including Mike or all theory efficient and professional. Overall excellent tour or those in good shape that can keep up with biking while touring with the group.

Disappointed

Tony_S, Sep 2019

The guide, Rene spent too much time talking to one person and virtually ignored the rest of the group. There was very little architecture of note to see and we were in the old port area for too long. We didn’t stop to take photos of the key landmarks such as the Jacques Cartier Bridge. It was also supposed to include a city tour but did very little of that. Overall it was disappointing.

See the city as you would never see it!

Leslie_t, Aug 2019

a four hour easy bike tour with lots of stops and stories about Montreal. We stopped at a food market and took a quick run through-enjoying the sights of produce pastries and more! Our time at the location of the Olympics was a blast, then hauling ourselves up over the bridge and coasting back home. The guide was so energetic and enthusiastic. A truly enjoyable morning!

Great experience!

patriciacawthorne, Aug 2019

A thoroughly enjoyable trip made all the better by the very engaging and entertaining guide! A great way to see the city!
