Montreal Hidden Gems BikeTour:Plateau, MileEnd, Jean-Talon Market
Overview
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.

Frederick was great and an awesome tour guide. The 3 hours flew by and we felt we covered so much of the Plateau & Mile End. It was a great way to see a part of the city that wasn't Old Montreal. Highly recommend.

We took this tour and so glad we did. Bikes were sturdy and well maintained and Felix was an uber-chilled guide, knowledgeable and very friendly. His ‘chats’ were pitched just at the right level for us and we learned so much that we wouldn’t have found out from touring by ourselves. Plus his local knowledge of hidden places and the little back stories was great!! The cycle wasn’t very challenging in either pace or distance, but that’s not what we were there for so all was good!! Thanks again, would definitely recommend this tour/company.We booked online with the intent to do an AM tour, break for lunch & then a PM tour. The bikes are very good and the pace was easy (Both in our late 50’s). Definitely recommend this tour, old Montreal and Mount Royal district, including the park.
