Our Canadian bike tour is a bird- and whale-watcher’s paradise! We’ll cycle from Québec City to the Saguenay Fjord, winding along estuaries, fjords, capes and beaches and passing through quaint fishing villages. We’ll visit and stay in several villages designated as the “Most Beautiful Villages of Québec.”
Starting on the Route Verte (a bike path) we’ll cycle along on quiet country roads along the south shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary, inland to the rocky and wooded shoreline of Saguenay Fjord. We’ll continue to Tadoussac, the oldest village in Canada and one of the best places to spot whales and playful seals, before we transfer back to Québec City.

What Our Guests Are Saying "Our trip to Quebec this summer with Adventure Travel Group was outstanding. This is a part of the world that is definitely off the beaten path, and we would have never been able to experience it properly without Gary and Lise. Their organization of the logistics of the trip was wonderful; the route they choose was scenic and very few vehicles and the hotels and restaurants were great values. We never could have put this trip together on our own, and it was definitely the highlight of the cycling year! I give them 4 stars!" Ron Goldman, San Diego, CA
"Biking in Quebec with ATG was a delight. It was amazing to be so close to the US and still be in a foreign country with beautiful scenery, good food, charming B&Bs, very few cars and not a word of English. The biking was a treat and Lise was always there to take care of us. Bike Quebec--you will love it." Joe Costello, San Diego, CA
"We rode on Gary and Lise's Quebec trip this summer and had a wonderful time. It is like having the taste of Europe at half the distance. The quaint villages, beautiful scenery and tasty food all added to the great fun we had. A few good hills along the fjord made for some good exercise too. Merci." Dayle & Uli Mayer, San Diego, CA
