Bike Tours in Québec City

A guided bike tour can be an amazing experience. Little hidden streets pop up and sweeping scenery unfurls as you pedal by. From the Old Port, you can explore Old Québec on two wheels with a classic tour that takes you along the city’s winding, historic streets. 

Note that if the tour takes you to the Upper Town, you’ll need good cardio and good calves to get you up those hills. Pro tip: consider renting an e‑bike to help you tackle the ascents. 

Guided tours on bike in Old Québec are provided by Cyclo Services, Echo Sports Tours, and Tuque & bicycle experiences. It's worth noting that these last two companies also offer guided tours on electric scooters.

If you’d like to go a little further afield, you can take a guided bike tour to stunning Montmorency Falls. The 25 km return trip is relatively flat and the beauty of the scenery makes it well worth the effort. This route really delivers bang for your cycling buck and your calves will thank you for the workout! 

Cyclo Services and Echo Sports Tours both offer guided bike tours to Montmorency Falls. 

To feel the breeze from the St. Lawrence River, a bike tour around Île d’Orléans is the way to go. But don’t wear yourself out: rent an e‑bike from Québec Aventure Tours and take time to enjoy the scenery and stop in for a tasting at some of the island’s many artisanal shops. Even if you opt for the short loop, you’ll get to learn more about the island and discover a few of its star producers. 

Rent a bike and head out on your own to explore the many bike paths in the city and surrounding area, free as a bird. Of course, you’ll want to rent the right accessories and get tips on the best places to ride from the experts at Cyclo Services and Echo Sports Tours.  

You can also rent a bike from àVélo, a new bike‑sharing service with some hundred e‑bikes that are yours to rent at different stations in Old Québec and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Helmets are mandatory, so be sure to have one with you. 

L'îlot des Palais offers a unique way to explore Old Québec and its surroundings with its VéloRallyes, where you'll need to find caches using a GPS to learn more about the history.

In winter, why not try a fat bike tour from Tuque & bicycle expériences or Echo Sports Tours? Tours start in the Old Port on an easy and relatively flat route.
