About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Freedom819780 contributionsChristmas MarketsGreat place to visit with Christmas markets all around. The weather nice a crisp! Cold! Food fantastic but make reservations before you! Dog sledding was awesome! Hotel 71 was in the middle of shops and a very nice hotel! I recommend them highly!Written January 3, 2025
- 96ashtynm0 contributionsFun & Unique Adventure Facilitated by Excellent Bike ShopThis rental shop went above and beyond to assist us with a bike rental in Dec 2024 for my birthday. We were properly fitted for bikes, taught how to operate them, given helmet, locks, and goggles, and my friends even rented other gear to stay warm in the sleet. He gave us a map and detailed directions on how to ride to Montmorency Falls from Quebec City. I might not recommend that particular bike ride during winter, as the bike trails were not cleared and we were riding through at least a foot of snow, which used a lot of the battery. Riding fat bikes in the snow is kind of like riding in constant mud where you slide around quite a bit. There is a bit of a learning curve. When we had issues with low batteries and a longer than expected trip, they helped us get back with no issue and offered us some warm beverages when we got back to the shop. I would absolutely recommend this rental place for a unique adventure.Written December 26, 2024
- F8851VGdanielleg0 contributionsUnique experienceGuide was very knowledgeable with the history of the city and area. It was very cold that day and standing in line (even though we had thermals, sweater, thick jeans, coat, gloves and hat) our toes became really sore. Unfortunately this package doesn’t come with any fast passes or anything so you do have to wait in the line with everyone else. Also please note that there isn’t a lift to go up the hill. It’s a steep climb with wire on either side.Written December 25, 2024
- hopew2920 contributionsCancelled due to lack of snowOur trip was cancelled as there wasn’t enough snow. While we received a refund, it would have been nice to be given an option to go for a hike instead. By the time it was cancelled, we’d already added a day to our trip and came prepared for an outdoor activity that included checking luggage.Written December 20, 2024
- pattybruzek0 contributionsA great way to visit the Falls!!We really loved using the bikes. They were easy to use and there was a paved bike path out to the Falls. They were so wonderful to work with!Written September 29, 2024
- 6KP60 contributionsExcellent bikes, friendly and helpful staff.We rented a couple of bikes to ride out to the Montmorency Falls. Excellent bikes, very friendly and helpful staff. We had a great day out and would highly recommend Echo bikes as a supplier. The trip out to Montmorency is lovely and well worth doing.Written September 29, 2024

- Escape6252670 contributionsGreat electric scooter tour!Gaby was a great guide and very patient with first time scooter riders. The scooters were easy to use and the whole tour was on a path away from traffic. There were only a few stops with information but it was a great ride along the water and wonderful to get out of downtown for a little while.Written August 13, 2024
- crnflake0 contributionsNice bike rideGuide was very pleasant and accommodating. We got the regular, non electric, bikes and had no problem on the very nice path to the falls. Didn’t get free time at the falls which was ok but might have been nice to take pictures or see any history/story. Got some good education from the guide ; enjoyed his bits of history and facts. Overall we really enjoyed the time spentWritten August 2, 2024
- blynnolson0 contributionsA Great Time with Gaby!We had a wonderful bike ride and tour with an excellent local guide. We learned about Quebec’s history and places we might want to visit to view birds and wildlife IN ADDITION TO the tour of the falls. Our guide stayed with us the entire time, which was very helpful!Written July 21, 2024

What a great tour.
There were six of us plus our guide and it was a great way of spending an afternoon. We must have travelled around 25 km, so saw absolutely everything, including some of the less visited parts of Quebec and our guide, Renard, was absolutely fantastic. He knew everything about the city and lived in the centre, so really knew what he was talking about.
The bikes were first class and good quality, I would thoroughly recommend this trip

Pierre was an excellent tour guide with a great ability to bring history alive and make it memorable. Ebikes were perfect for covering a lot of ground very difficult to do by foot or on regular bikes given the hills. An excellent way to get an overview of the city on your first day. One caveat. This is a history of Quebec (and Canada) tour. Not much focus on the present day city, mostly the old city, upper and lower. It was perfect for what we wanted!

We took a 3 hour electric bike tour of old Quebec City with Simon Jacobs. It was a great experience and Simon was very knowledgeable,experienced, and patient. The electric bikes are a game changer for this tour since there is quite a bit of uphill travel and the bike makes it easy. We have used many guides in our travels around the world and Simon was definitely one of the best!

Unfortunately our guide cancelled at the last minute. The folks at Echo Sports felt terrible. They gave us a full refund and let us use the bikes on our own for 3 hours. It was a nice way to see the city but we definitely missed learning the history of the city. It was too late to schedule a different day or time on the bikes.

Hi,
I am very sorry to hear that. I understand the frustration. Our guide just did not show up even tho he was scheduled for your tour. He is a third party worker and I can assure you that this guide won't be scheduled on any of our tour anymore...
That is why we did the full refund and set you up on a free rental. The guide's actions were out of our control. We did the most we could do in this situation.
I appreciate your feedback and I hope to see you again on one of our tour.

Me and my fiance had an amazing time. First time riding e-bikes and it was very enjoyable. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about Quebec city and was able to present the information in a fun way. This was my first time in Quebec in general so I was hungry for knowledge and he was able to go above and beyond to satisfy my knowledge and curiosity. Would highly recommend.

Great way to see Quebec City and learn about its history as an active participant. Benoit Poulin is a very knowledgable and engaging guide and was eager to answer all of our questions. Quebec is a very hilly city and the e-bikes made it a breeze to cover the amount of ground that we did. Highly recommended!

It was a fun first time ebike experience. The instructions and ride is great for those comfortable on a bike but who want a lot less effort. Tour guides were great. Effortless registration. Great historical information. For bike riding enthusiasts it’s a bit slow of a ride. For historical buffs again limited in that access to sites is not part of tour as it would obviously take a long time. Great for first visit and first tour to get bearings. If you’ve already been on a guided tour and just want to ebike there are alternate half day rentals at about half the cost

We had Benoit as our guide on a 2.5 hour history tour along the St. Lawrence River bike path. He is a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the origins of Quebec and its history as a French, then English, colony. Benoit is a Quebec native and a former journalist and so he has a unique perspective on the city. We were the only two on the tour and we benefitted from this and got the "personal touch." The bikes were in good condition and the ride was fairly easy, with only a couple of hills. We had regular bikes, rather than ebikes.

We had a really great time on the tour. It was just my husband and I with the tour guide Ben. Ben is very knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor and was good about guiding us through busy streets safely. I think the only thing I would’ve liked differently is to have those microphone earpieces to hear him speak while riding the bikes on tour. Naturally, there’s a lot of stopping for notable places on the tour. But I think we could’ve heard a lot more history if he had a microphone. I highly recommend this trip, and I would do it again when I return to the city.

We loved our Quebec City Electric Bike tour for our 25th wedding anniversary. We appreciated they had electric bikes to accommodate both a person 6'4" as well as 5'3". The electric bikes made the hills in Old Quebec a breeze to handle. We also had an excellent tour guide who pointed out a variety of points and helped us focus on what we wanted to explore later by foot due to limited time. He grew up in Quebec and was able to show and talk to us about his former high school and other neighborhoods that may be overlooked. Made us appreciate the rich culture of Quebec. We saw those large tour buses go by occasionally and we were glad to not be crammed on top there but able to zoom through the streets of Quebec quickly and efficiently.

What type of bikes do you use. What height of person are they rated for. Do you have some that do not have a high cross bar?

We haven’t used e-bikes before. When the bike is being assisted, does the rider still have to pedal, or can their legs be stationary. I have arthritis and not sure if the repetitive motion of assisted pedalling will be a problem, or if my knees can stay stationary when needed?

Bonjour,
Nous sommes deux parents avec 2 enfants, un de 16 ans et un de 10 ans, est-ce que vous avez des vélos électrique pour les enfants ou est-ce que vous avez des tandems ? Mon garçon de 16 ans a son permis de scooter. Jusqu'à quand dans l'année peut-on encore louer des vélos. Merci
