      We had the most wonderful time on our bike tour with tour guide Candace. Got to see amazing scenery, some elk in the wild and learn about all the best spots for a drink & bite in Banff. Highly recommend this tour!

      Great tour of Banff

      Elizabeth_G, Aug 2025
      Wonderful experience- great way to see the beauty of Banff’s natural areas. Our guide showed us around the golf course, the Riverwalk, and Vermillion lakes. It was an amazing experience.

      Amazing Day and Easy Ride

      Mandy_I, Jul 2025
      Josh was a friendly and very personable tour guide, showing us so much of the beauty of Banff in just 2.5 hrs. We didn't waste a second, yet took plenty of time to take pictures at the top tourist stops. As a bonus, we spotted elk multiple times at the Fairmont golf course. We had an amazing day!

      Joe Moon was an amazing tour leader !! He made the trip fun and very enjoyable . I would tell everyone to go . All levels of riders can do this !!

      Joe Moon Rocks!

      Maggie_U, Oct 2024
      Joe Moon was the best tour guide ever! So fun and helpful. Everyone should request him as your guide! The E Bikes from Banf’s E Bikes were so much fun and was the best tour we went on! Will definitely do this again with them!

      Unforgettable bike ride

      Amber_N, Sep 2024
      Our bike ride in Banff was amazing! Our guide, Joe, was fantastic. He took us through beautiful trails with stunning views of the mountains and lakes. Joe was friendly and made sure everyone had a great time. It was a fun and memorable experience—highly recommend it!

      Great way to see the town!

      Lynda_H, Sep 2024
      We had a great tour with Joe! We saw Elk and even a black bear mama and cub. He made sure we were all fitted for our bikes correctly even my 85 year old Mom. She did great.

      Ride around Canmore

      Marc_C, Sep 2024
      Our E-bike ride was wonderful! Molly our guide was very helpful and great to be around. The ride was just the right length and we had a fantastic time!

      Would go again!

      Kathy_S, Sep 2024
      We had limited time due to a family wedding so this private tour was perfect for our group. It was a nice intro to a few Banff highlights and much needed fresh air after traveling the day before. Joe, our guide, was excellent! He was patient, professional and conversational. We enjoyed his company and all the sights along the way. Plus e-bikes are so fun and worked for everyone in our group. Only downside is that we didn’t want it to end!

      Best tour ever!

      Valerie_D, Sep 2024
      Our guide Joe was great! He taught us how to use the bikes and took us on easy paths. It was just my husband and myself. It was raining but they gave us rain gear to stay warm and dry. We saw spectacular views of mountains and waterfalls. We saw a great heard of elk including a big buck that trumpeted. It was totally awesome!

      Very Fun!

      Deborah_J, Aug 2024
      As it happened, my husband and I had a private e-bike tour with John. He was a great guide, very concerned for our safety, knowledgeable, and friendly. The bikes had some minor mechanical issues, but not enough to take away from the pleasure of the tour. Would definitely recommend!

      E-Bike Fun in Banff

      Catherine_C, Aug 2024
      When traveling in the beautiful city of Banff, my husband and I chose to book an 'e-bike' tour through Viator. We met at the train station and discovered that we had a tour guide all to ourselves since no one else was joining us. "Ryan" (our guide) was enthusiastic, professional and very personable. We saw highlights like Bow Falls, rode through forests and ended our 2.5 hr tour near the downtown area. You could easily see why Ryan loves this area and how much he enjoys sharing it with others. Thank you, Ryan, for a great morning adventure!

      Amy_R, Aug 2024
      Best experience of all the activities we did. They have great e-bikes and the guides will adapt the tour to you.

      Great tour

      Kirsty_M, Jul 2024
      Would definitely recommend this e-bike tour. Riding an e-bike was so much fun and Our guide made it easy to see bow lake and bow falls for photo opportunities. Wouldn’t have been able to see as much as we did without our guide who was very knowledgeable about the area.

      One of a kind

      Serena_P, Jul 2024
      Our guide Joe was fantastic, he gave us all the time we needed to absorb the views and the ride. We were able to ride as fast, or as slow, as we felt comfortable. We enjoyed the couple we rode with.

      Response from Host, Jul 2024

      Hi Serena, we are so glad you enjoyed the tour. Our e-bikes are a great way to see Banff and as you say allow riders to go at their own pace so easily.

      So pretty and fun.

      s6tq7s85jw, Jul 2024
      Molly was our guide. So attentive and kind. I’m 74 and she went with what I could do. It was just her and my daughter on the tour. I recommend it for everyone. The longer tours would be too much for an elderly person. This was beautiful and just right for me.

      Biking through Banff

      Stacey_S, Jul 2024
      This was one of the favorite things we did on this trip! Our guide was awesome! Very informative and engaging. Loved seeing the town and some of the nature around it!! We would not have known where to go on our bikes if we had just rented them vs taking the tour. The 10am tour was great as it wasn’t as busy I am sure the afternoon could be!

      Great cycling for every people

      Azusa_M, Jul 2024
      I wasn't confident in my physical strength, but riding an E-bike was very comfortable! My guide was very friendly and gave me lots of information during the ride, as well as taking good care of my safety, which made the whole trip enjoyable.

      Fabulous trip

      Lynn_H, Jul 2024
      No our guide was really great. The spots he took us to were magical and his knowledge totally enhanced the whole experience. Would totally recommend this tour
