Ebike tour of Halifax We were a little nervous about doing an ebike but Miranda gave us a thorough explanation of how to maneuver the bike. The blue tooth earpiece allowed us to hear Miranda giving us directions ahead of time so that we were never surprised. She often stopped to give us historical information on what we were seeing. The 3 hour bike tour was a great way to see Halifax. The meeting spot was a short 5-10 minute walk along the waterfront from where our ship was docked. I would certainly do another ebike tour in the future. I would recommend this company and this tour.

Fun exploration on bikes! Mackenzie was our guide. She did a great job letting us know what was coming up and how to maneuver our bikes. Her explanation of the sites added an extra layer of interest.

Wonderful safe way to see Halifax! Wonderful tour with Miranda! She kept us safe navigating the streets of Halifax, and took us to wonderful places along the waterfront, to the library and the public gardens, all the way up to the Citadel just in time for the daily cannon boom. Loved the bluetooth headsets so we could hear her interesting facts and stories while we rode. Miranda was a sweetheart and the tour was very interesting. Covered the same ground as the walking tour we did with a different company the day before, but we saw new areas and learning new things. Totally worthwhile!

Perfect Bike Tour From start to finish, this tour was a perfect way to experience Halifax. A leisurely 7-minute walk from the cruise port, we were warmly welcomed by Sarah. Our tour guide, Jeff, provided a comprehensive briefing on the operation of the e-bikes which were each outfitted with cold water bottles. We were impressed by the cleanliness of the store and the equipment, including the bikes, helmets, and earpieces. The tour was highly informative, with Jeff sharing interesting and fun facts about the area's history. His expertise, focus on safety, and engaging personality made the tour truly enjoyable. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Halifax. It was a great way to experience the area, and we appreciated the opportunity to take a group photo at the conclusion of the tour. After our tour, on Sarah’s recommendation, we enjoyed a specialty coffee at nearby Caffe Lucca

Halifax eBike guided tour We rented eBikes in Halifax and chose to have a guided tour. Having the guide was very important in Halifax. The guide has a microphone and those on the tour (4 of us) all had ear pieces. We could hear the tour guide as she talked about the area and warned us of upcoming stop signs, traffic, etc. Part of the tour is right through the center of the city. Lots of traffic, bike lanes sometimes but not always. Having a guide gives you confidence to keep going knowing she knew the way and when to move out in traffic. We stopped a couple of times to walk through a park and look at the library. The stops were as long as we wanted them to be. When we were ready to go we just told the guide we were done in that location. The library was interesting but we chose not to go inside just continue our ride. We also rented eBikes in Saguenay separate bike lanes there and a small country town area. But in Halifax I would definitely recommend the guided tour. There are too many things you will miss if you don't know the history of the city. But more importantly you want to be safe and the downtown area on bikes is not that safe without a guide.

Easy E-Bike Tour Bikes were in great condition for our guided tour of Halifax highlights. Miranda, our guide, took us on a route along the waterfront, through parks and interesting neighborhoods. Nice introduction to Halifax. Thanks, Miranda, for a scenic couple of hours of riding through Halifax.

Easy enjoyable ride through the city Was an enjoyable, easy ride through the city of Halifax. Our tour guide, Gift, kept an eye on all riders and made sure he guided us safely. He talked about the history of the city and conversed with all riders during our breaks. Were able to see the cannon shoot at the citadel.
