What are people saying about Jean-Talon Market (Marché Jean-Talon)

Bike / E-bike tour : Plateau, Mile-End, Jean-Talon Market by Fitz

Mike_H, Aug 2026

Nice tour. Light on the ride but lots to see

My wife and I have found that a bike tour is a nice way to see the neighborhoods of a city so this is a regular thing for us. We got to see a number of interesting areas and eat a bit of food as well. The guide was informative. If you are looking for a real bike ride this is probably not for you but if you want a relaxing tour this is it.

Best way to see the real Montreal - Incredible!

5 stars all day. This was INCREDIBLE. Small group, bikes were super comfortable and made the hills effortless, and Fitz's team knows how to show you the Montreal most tourists miss. We rode through the Plateau with those beautiful colorful houses (like in the photo), Mile-End for street art, Little Italy and finished at Jean-Talon Market. Great mix of history, culture and food stops - including the famous Montreal bagel. Rodrigo was knowledgeable, professional, set an easy pace and made this 100% worth it. If you do one tour in Montreal, do this one.

Perfect start to a great weekend!

JF was incredibly knowledgeable and funny. I loved how he showed us videos of the spaces we were visiting at different times of the year. The bagel was a great treat - and the bike ride itself was invigorating but not difficult. Really a super way to kick off our visit - it helped us get oriented in a new city.
