Embark on a 4-hour bike tour to Montmorency Falls from Quebec City. With a height of 272 feet (83 meters), you will be amazed by the power of nature. Ride along the St-Lawrence River and discover the wonderful scenery just a short distance from the city of Quebec. Your professional guide will explain the history and geography of the area along the way.
Begin your trip just across from the Louis-Jolliet boat in the heart of the old city of Quebec. Pedal past the port area and the Domaine de Maizerets, an old French Domain, and continue past Beauport Bay as you make your way to the falls. You will always ride on a bike path away from the cars, and your experienced guide you will show you differents points of interest and explain the history and geography of the area along the way.
At Montmorency Falls, ride the cable car (included) and stop at the Manoir Montmorency, the former summer house of the Duc of Kent, the father of Queen Victoria. Then the boardwalk will take you on the bridge that overlooks the waterfalls.
Take the trail upstream and enjoy the laurentian forest and huge rapids upstream. Rest your feet in the water of the Montmorency River, then come back down using the stairs and enjoy the falls from the bottom.
Enjoy the scenery as you ride back to the heart of Quebec City.
wonderful ride to the falls.....exercise and see the lay of the land better on a bike!

Fantastic ride thru Quebec up to the falls and wow what a view. Only thing I would recommend is that you are actually fit enough for the guide we had and the huge amount of steps at the falls. Luckily my husband and I both ride and do gym work but the other older couple had a bit of trouble keeping up as the guide I think was really riding too fast for a tour and was in quite a hurry to get back to catch his ferry. Maybe the company need to allow extra time for this type of tour for other people to enjoy it as much as we did. By all means if you are fit then this tour is for you. The bikes and equipment are very well looked after.

First and foremost, Denis was an excellent guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. The bikes and equipment were well maintained, plenty of water and/or bio-breaks as needed. The biking itself was well paced even for the beginner and the hike down from the falls was loads of fun. The ride was safe, well-maintained trails and a lot of fun!

This proved to be a great experience from start to finish. The reception in the bike shop was warm and friendly and, as we were the only two riders that day, my wife was offered a free upgrade to an electric bike. Our guide, Benoit, was friendly and knowledgeable and we spent a very enjoyable afternoon in his company. The cycling was easy even more so for my wife! and a great way to feel like a local. The falls were spectacular. We went up in the cable car and down the steps, and even had time for a short walk along the river. I have no hesitation in recommending this tour.

Had a great day on this tour although it rained heavily on the way back all the group were great sports and just got on with it! _br/_ The cycling was mainly on flat easy cycle routes and the scenery at Montmorency Falls is spectacular. The staff at the bike shop were very friendly and Dominique our guide was very knowledgeable about Quebec. We had plenty of free time at the falls to wander round and the falls colours were spectacular even in the rain. Its about 12km each way to the falls but no hills to navigate so most people of average fitness would be able to do this trip.

We had a great time on our bike trip to the falls! Francesco was a great guide. He was very informative and let us set the pace for our ride. I highly recommend this tour to everyone...you dont have to be an avid biker to do this tour.

My wife and I took the bike tour to Montmorency Falls with Dominic our tour guide. Stepping into the bike shop we were greeted and fitted with bikes and helmets. Everyone made a great attempt to make sure that we had working bikes that fit. Dominic gave us a run down of his plan for the tour and since there were only two of us for this tour, I think we got a little special treatment._br/_ Dominic found a pace that suited us older folks and we got started on a nice tour to the falls.
