Cycling & Hiking Tours in the Canadian Rockies

Etienne was a great guide, knowledgeable and attentive. He organized our private day tour outside Canmore and managed to take us through a challenging and scenic route. E-bikes were brand new and worked extremely well. We saw some wildlife and had a fabulous lunch by a Mirror Ponds. A most enjoyable day!

Last week a group of my friends and I took a bike trip with Rocky Mountain Cycle Tours (RMCT)- "The Best of the West" tour was the one we chose. I knew very little about this company prior to going on this trip and have been on multiple previous trips including with Trek Travel. Although I've always enjoyed the Trek trips, I'd rate the RMCT as superior. Etienne, the young owner, was with us the whole time and switched off between guiding us and driving the support van with a young woman guide, Michaela. They were both professional yet fun and organized an unforgetable trip through British Columbia. I am sure that the trip quality was enhanced by the presence of the owner for the entire trip!

The hotel choices were perfect for our group and the restaurants were chosen with the care of someone who really knew the area.

The individual rides were also well chosen and all of us (in our mid 60's) felt that we successfully participated in the rides.

The two staff members were very helpful throughout the trip, including helping one of us who broke their wrist, and made good decisions when the unexpected arose, such as the fracture and two smoke-filled days when we couldn't ride.

We hope to return soon for one of their other trips.

Rocky Mountain Cycle Tours is an amazing tour company. The trip guides always went above and beyond to cater and or assist us(riders) as needed. I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Cyle Tours. Book your adventure now!

If you have been dreaming about cycling in the amazing Canadian Rockies, I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Cycle Tours!! The guides were the best! They were ready with what I needed before I even knew what I needed (bike maintenance, snacks, photo ops, and local knowledge). Unlike some of the other groups I saw on the road, our routes were chosen for maximum Rockies enjoyment (cycling on the river side of the road, big climbs before lunch, and cycling towards the best views – who wants the best views at their back?). The bike I rented was a quality bike, fitted to my body. The guides went out of their way to accommodate my plant-based diet. Perhaps the best reason to choose RMCT is that its owner is cycling with you, assuring you have the best experience possible.

After a detailed search of the various providers of cycling tours, we chose RMCT. There were many reasons as you will read on other reviews, I'd like to particularly highlight what drove my selection six months ahead of our trip. For me, it was this... The pleasant responsiveness and willingness to quickly and thoughtfully answer my many questions. I've never been in the Canadian Rockies. Route, weather, logistics were all big questions. Etienne and France were a class act from the beginning then we met Micheala, who continued to impress. Our whole experience became wonderful, not just because the scenery, it was the people taking care of us on our journey. Thank you RMCT Team!
