Ride 16 miles from Old Quebec to Montmorency Falls with a guide such as Luc, Guy, Barry, or Anna. You’ll use mostly paved bike paths, stop at Domaine de Maizerets and Beauport Bay, then take the cable car up for views from the top. E-bikes are available for riders 18 and older.
“Great scenery with dynamic enthusiastic guide! We enjoyed the history lessons and story telling - lots of fun!”
Ride from Quebec City to Montmorency Falls with a local guide such as Paul, Danielle, Evelyn, or Benoit. The mostly flat route follows the St. Lawrence River and passes Domaine de Maizerets. At the falls, you get about an hour to explore, ride the cable car, and cross the suspension bridge. Regular and electric bikes are available.
“We chose the regular (non e-bike) option and the bikes were poorly maintained. Mine didn’t fully shift and the seat didn’t adjust. My husband’s chain fell off on the way back. Our guide was very personable and took us out to the falls at an unnecessarily slow pace, stopping to point out various sights. The falls were gorgeous. It was the way back to town were things really fell apart. Our guide took off and left us and another couple. We didn’t see him for at least 5 miles. The wind was against us and with poorly maintained bikes we definitely could not keep up with his e-bike pace. No…”
Spend about three hours cycling from the St. Lawrence River to the Plains of Abraham and through old Québec. Your guide points out the Promenade Samuel-De Champlain, Joan of Arc Garden, Citadel, Parliament, Château Frontenac, and cathedral.

“Yves was a fun and knowledgeable guide for our tour of Lower Town. We enjoyed learning about the history and incredible architecture in Quebec City. We especially liked biking away from the tourist areas to interesting neighborhoods and trails along the river.”
