Bike / E-bike tour : Plateau, Mile-End, Jean-Talon Market by Fitz
Overview
Our guided small-group rides offer a fun and safe activity—the perfect way to experience physically-distanced social bonding!
This authentic tour goes beyond downtown into Montreal's hip must-see 'hoods. You'll gain a sense of Montreal's relaxed way of life from behind the scenes.
We’ll set you up on a nice bike, a pleasure to ride. We’ll lead you on a loop route using non-crowded bike paths, quiet streets, and charming "green" laneways.
This is our staff favourite bike tour—you’ll cruise through the artsy Plateau and Mile-End, be treated to views of Mont-Royal from Outremont, then onto charming neighbourhoods of Little Italy and Petit-Patrie.
Your leader will be one of our specially trained Montreal ambassadors. Learn the stories of Montrealers and their culture - from musical heroes, to culinary icons, and the open-minded residents & students that populate these 'hoods today. Even if you have lived here for years you will discover something new.

RAIN POLICY
We know you are here for just a couple of days, so the tour will run rain or shine and would only be cancelled in case we evaluate is not safe or fun to ride. Since the weather in Montreal changes very drastically and very often (we’re on a island!), if we have to cancel a tour, it will always be in person, at the meeting point and a couple of minutes before the departure (never in advance). So the rule is: even if it rains, come to the meeting point on time. There’s a high chance that your tour will happen!
BOTA BOTA SPA DISCOUNT
Our guests are be offered a special price at Bota Bota, a high end floating spa in the Old Port area (CAD $65 instead of $85). Let us know if you are interested and we'll help you with the booking. Absolutely recommended!
