5Tour guide very...
Tour guide very considerate, friendly and knowledgeable of history of the area. Questions were welcomed, response thoughtful, interesting.
2French speaking guide, English speaking riders - not good experience.
Our guide tried to start the tour with ZERO instruction on the e-bikes. This is when we discovered he only spoke French, he struggled to sporadically find single words in English. We basically couldn’t understand anything he tried to say. Fortunately one couple in our group owned e-bikes and they were able to give the rest of us a mini lesson. One member of our group stayed close to the front and kept an eye on the distance between riders to make sure we didn’t lose anyone at turns etc and the couple who were familiar with e-bikes rode at the end to make sure no one got left behind or ran into trouble as our guide didn’t seem to grasp our situation. The 2 sightseeing stops we made along the way were a waste as our guide couldn’t communicate to us what we were seeing. When we arrived at the falls, our guide wasn’t going to join us but a member of our group convinced him to go with because we couldn’t understand what he was trying to tell us. We felt rushed to get through the falls which was unfortunate as they are beautiful and whole the reason for our ride. This was not the experience any of us had planned on and expected based on all of the positive and glowing reviews. On the positive side, the ride was beautiful, the falls were stunning and we all arrived back safe.
5Bike tour to the falls
We scheduled an e-bike tour to the falls. Although it was marathon day and the streets were blocked, one guide had a bike malfunction that gave us a little delay - the ride to the falls was gorgeous. The pace was perfect and Helen our guide provided information and interesting history along the way. The time allotted at the falls was sufficient - and we were able to view at our own pace and interest level. This is a great way to see an amazing natural beauty and enjoy nature during a city vacation.
5The highlight of our day!
It was an amazingly easy ride to the beautiful falls. We had ample time to explore the area and see the wonders of the location. Our guides were well above expectations great!! They were able to adapt on the fly as they had to change their regular route due to a marathon running through town. They also provided historical information and bike use guidance. The provided equipment (bike & helmets) were in great condition. We were happy that gloves were provided on a very cool morning. I would do the excursion again, for sure!
5Exceeded our expectations!
From the registration process where they asked our height in advance to ensure our saddles were correct height on our bicycles to arrival where we were warmly greeted. The bikes had name tags easily identifiable and bikes are grouped by height to make it more easy for an and bikes are grouped by height to make it more easy for a group of 20 to find and it was great. The guide Phil explained what we were gonna do when we were gonna do it how we’re gonna do it and if we had any questions and had an abundance of knowledge about all of our stops and made the ride most enjoyable as did his sidekick Marlene, who kept us all safe. Fun day.
3Excellent Outfitter, Disappointing Destination
We struggled with this review - the e-Bikes were top notch and worked perfectly, our guide was kind and knowledgeable, so the logistics and personnel of this were very good. The issue was the tour itself - the ride to the falls from the bike shop includes industrial areas and lots of construction. And once at the falls we found it disappointing - Quebec’s Sepac has taken a truly magnificent waterfall and turned it into a tourist trap. There is a zip line installed in front of the falls. There is a cable car to take you to the top and stairs to take down, all of which is very visible. There are historical battleground mounds at the top that are unmarked and undocumented. This is unlike any other major falls we’ve been to, which try to keep the falls pristine and access invisible. The cable car empties out to the restaurant and gift shop. Overall, really appreciate the quality of bikes and professionalism of Cyclo Services. We also did the Lower Town Historic tour through Cyclo Services and enjoyed the same excellent service but much preferred seeing and learning more about the history of Quebec City than visiting the tourist trap called Montmorency Falls.

About Quebec City
Quebec City is a French-speaking walled city above the St Lawrence River, with cobbled lanes, a grand hilltop château and a historic old town.
Quebec City stands on a cliff above the St Lawrence River, and its old town, a UNESCO-listed warren of stone houses, church spires and steep cobbled streets, is the only walled city north of Mexico. Samuel de Champlain founded a settlement here in 1608, and the Château Frontenac, a copper-roofed grand hotel, dominates the skyline above Dufferin Terrace.
