What a fantastic way to orient yourself to Montreal! First, I have to say that Shea the owner is super responsive by email and text (and totally respected my roaming cell fees fro the US). He spent a good bit of time trying to find a bicycle with three wheels that my mom could ride. He also catered our tour to our group of two non cyclists and one hard core gym rat. Plus, we were a diverse age group 53, 34 and 36 and the ride was adapted to accommodate our fitness levels.
This is definitely a cruise, not a ride. Shea takes you all over Montreal with breathtaking views, interesting history and gorgeous architecture. It feels like he's showing you his favorite spots. A croissant, coffee, and light lunch are included.
He's really embraced Montreal and wants you to love it as much as he does. His knowledge and enthusiasm are infectious. The bikes are practically brand new comfort style bikes. You never feel rushed and you feel that you got the most you could out of his tour.
I will look for a bike tour now in every city I visit thanks to the fantastic experience I had at Cycle Tours Montreal!
