Pedal along the bike-friendly streets of Old Quebec’s Lower Town on an easy 2.5-hour guided bike tour. A knowledgeable guide steers you toward the district's fascinating historic spots, a mix of must-see highlights and off-the-beaten-track gems. You’ll learn about the area’s roots as a portside village, and see where the past and present now intersect on the same narrow cobblestone streets.
Your 2.5-hour bike tour begins when you meet the group at the bike shop, where the staff will size you up to be sure you have the right bike and equipment for your experience level. Once you're ready, roll out to explore Quebec’s historic Lower Town district with your informative guide. This easy ride covers 8 miles (13 km) on mostly flat terrain. Most of Lower Town is car-free, and very bike friendly!
Pedal along the waterfront to reach the Old Port (Vieux-Port), where your guide shares interesting tidbits about the revitalized cruise port and the Musée de la Civilisation that sits just around the corner. Continue to Royal Square (Place-Royale), the first permanent French settlement in North America, and admire the colorful murals depicting this heritage on the side of centuries-old buildings.
Over in the nearby Petit Champlain district, take note of the fairytale stone buildings along the cobblestone streets, then head down a path fringed with quaint urban parks along the St Charles River. Glean a few more facts about the city at a monastery built during the French regime and the Cartier-Brébeuf National Historic Site that dates back to 1535.
Your guide will lead you back to the bike shop where you can continue exploring Quebec on your own.
Despite the poor weather, we had a great time on this interesting and informative tour. Bikes were great, and our guide was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

Terrific trip, our guide, Denis', was informative and enthusiastic. The ride itself was a joy, a great way to get the lay of the land in Old Quebec.

Simon, the English bike tour guide, was excellent. He and his colleague accommodated the fact that my wife was having difficulty keeping up with the others in a very cheerful manner. He gave us some interesting historical facts about the places we stopped at and even gave us a good recommendation for a microbrewery La Barbarie!

This was a great tour for my entire family! I have two kids, ages 13 and 9, and both loved the tour and felt they got a lot out of the history and sites. Uli, our guide, was fantastic as she was thorough in her instructions when biking, her knowledge of the city and showed a great interest in making sure my kids - who were the only kids on the tour - were attended to the entire time. Would do this tour again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!

We had a wonderful time riding through lower town with our tour guide Denny. It was a great opportunity to chat with a local and get his perspective on all sorts of interesting topics. Quebec City is well set up for biking with bike paths through beautiful parks and along the river. There were only 3 in our group, so we felt like we had our own personal tour guide. This was definitely the highlight of our trip!

Our guide Guy was great. A cold windy day but great sites and history. Would highly recommend. One of us was not a regular bike rider but he adjusted the tour and we all had fun.

It was an amazing way to see Quebec City. Our guides were very knowledgeable and kept us safe. I went with my wife, and 2 daughters ages 14 and 10. We all loved it. The course was relatively flat and easy to navigate. I would highly recommend it.

We had a fabulous time on this tour! The guide was excellent and we learned an incredible amount about Quebec City during our 3 hour ride. My son and I agree that this is the very best way to learn about -- and get you bearings on the layout of the city.

Review by: Susan N, June 2016
This was our favorite tour of the trip. The guide knew his history which I really appreciated. Beautiful bike paths. The scenery was beautiful and it was nice to see more than just the center of the city. If I were to go back I would do it again and maybe even rent bikes for subsequent days. The parks were beautiful.

We had a wonderful bike ride with a very knowledgeable guide. She was very entertaining and having a second rider bringing up the rear was very helpful in keeping track of our group.

This was a highlight of our trip to Quebec. The ride was great, and we got to see areas of the city that we never would have gotten to on our own. Our guide was very knowledgeable and very patiently answered our thousands of questions. We would highly recommend!

We booked the two hour Quebec City Tour which departs from old Quebec City. The Team were very friendly and helpful. They took the time to make sure that we were happy with our bicycles and knew how to use the gears etc. The pace was easy and with very little hills. We had frequent stops along the way so that our guide could explain the history of the city he was very informative and made the Tour interesting for everyone in the group. I would definitely recommend this Tour.
