Traveler Reviews

What a great start to our Montreal visit! Danny is a spectacular guide with deep knowledge of the city. More than that, his interest in Montreal wall art, food, city life, culture and current social movements is extensive and freely shared. We got a great overview of Montreal in our first afternoon, allowing us to focus on more specific bike rides and points of interest the rest of our trip. Danny also went far above and beyond his 3 hour tour obligations. We had 2 flat tires and a related bike problem on our own bikes (not bikes provided by Spade and Palacios for the tour), and he solved our problems with his knowledge of local bike shops. It also meant he stayed with us for 4-1/2 hours! Can't say enough about this tour as an introduction to Montreal and Danny as a leader!!

The entire experience was great. Tour guide(s) did a wonderful job and the chosen sites were very interesting. The picnic lunch in the park gave everyone a chance to get to know each other a bit. Well organized and worth the money.

DANNY was amazing!! What a fun way to explore! I loved seeing and learning about all the different murals around the city, biking through the Entertainment district and learning about the festivals and shows that take place each year, biking through Gay Village and learning about their inclusivity for all (as well as a fabulous 11 day festival that takes place every August), admiring the unique colors and architecture of the houses along the way, and getting some great photos of the magnificent view at Old Port. DANNY was super knowledgeable about all things Montréal, not to mention funny too, and takes the time to get to know each person on the tour to be able to recommend and point out other places of interest. Thank you so much for making my first day in Montréal a great one!

Our guide Danny was warm and funny and full of information. Such a fantastic way to become familiar with Montreal. We saw and learned so much, as well as getting to know people who were strangers at the start of the tour. A delicious lunch, complete with a huge tomato from Danny's own garden! Great recommendations for the rest of our trip. We highly recommend this experience! And love the pink bikes.

Our cycling tour was converted to a walking because of bad weather but that didn’t change how much fun I had and if anything meant we got to experience more as we did different bits of the tours! We started off seeing murals and various buildings and alleyways around the Plateau area which was so interesting. Our guide Tom answered all our questions and gave us the perfect level of information about the city, it’s history and things going on in the city today. We enjoyed a great beer tasting with a fatoush salad then made our way to the Jean Talon Market for some excellent charcuterie, cheese, iced cider and sorbet tastings! I would thoroughly recommend this tour company if you want to see Montreal from a locals take and the cheat sheet they give you is very useful!
