"We went on the \"Hoods and Hidden Gems\" tour on our first full day in Montreal, and it was the absolute perfect way to start our trip!\n\nI love biking through new cities because it allows me to see so much more than I would on foot. Montreal is especially great for touristic biking, as it turns out, because it is blessed with many bike lanes and remarkably considerate drivers. (NYC drivers could learn a few things from them!)\n\nFitz & Follwell outfitted us with helmets, well-designed rain capes, water bottles, bike baskets, and Dutch-style bikes that were comfortable and perfect for the city's terrain.\n\nOur guide Martin was full of energy, charisma, and insider knowledge. I think it would be impossible to not have a great time around him! He took us through a variety of gorgeous neighborhoods and down delightful bike paths that we likely would never have seen on our own, all while giving us a flavor of each community's spirit. He put us all in a great mood, and by the time we broke for a delicious lunch and wine, everyone in the group felt like a friend.\n\nI'm already dreaming about coming back to do one of Fitz & Follwell's winter tours!"^^ . .
