Such a fun morning! - Such a fun morning getting away from the city life and riding bikes on peaceful Toronto Island. Sydney and Consuelo were great guides and taught us so much about the history of the island. The photos they took and shared were icing on the cake! Everything would have been perfect if the guides could have controlled the weather. We rode back in torrential rain. lol

Nice, Easy break from the city ! - If you want to escape the noise and chaos of the city for a few hours this is a nice way to do it. 5 minute Ferry ride takes you to a completely different place. Quiet, great view and a nice bike ride through the islands.

Exceeded our expectations. Great tour. - Really enjoyed this tour. My wife and I were a bit apprehensive about cycling in the city but felt safe. We were only in the city for 10 mins at start and end . Our guide Oscar was knowledgeable and friendly. Found out more than expected about the islands. We had a small group which was great. Amazing views on the ferry of the city and Lake. Thankyou!

Great active way to see the Toronto harbor and islands - Went as a group from a parking garage in downtown Toronto to the harbor to board a ferry. The bikes were comfortable "cruiser" bikes. They aren't electric - but we didn't need them as most of the ride is flat. Toronto has bike lanes and riding in town is safe. The harbor ride is pleasant and takes ~ 10 minutes. Once on the island, we rode around and saw the yacht club, historic buildings and cute neighborhoods of the few people who get to live on the island. No meal - but there was water and granola bars available.

Great way to see Toronto Islands! - Sidney was a great tour guide, she was funny, entertaining and gave us a lot of history:) It was very unique way to see and learn about the islands while getting a little exercise. We actually only rode our bikes a little over an hour, the remainder of our time was spent learning about the school house, church, floods, lottery system to buy houses, etc.

The ‘pizza’ prankster. - My young son was ecstatic to go on this bike tour. That excitement came crashing down when a masked man approached him. We were travelling down scenic routes and it felt like we had been transported to another world. At one point my son even said to me “mum I appreciate moments like this” which absolutely warmed my big ol’ heart. The bikes were top quality and the tour guides reminded me of Christmas elves. (Cheeky and naughty but also kind and welcoming) This day was going to be the highlight of our trip to Toronto (I thought). All of a sudden one of the members of our group took a swift U turn on their bicycle and slowly peddled towards my young buck whilst he giggled in a deep voice. He had a pig mask on and a red tie his tattoo sleeve had photos of other creepy figures. He started off by friendly saying “watch out for those mighty stones” to my son in which he giggled at. However things took a turn when he hopped off his bike and said “hey buddy let me check out your wheels” my son happily Judy hopped off his bike to let the pig man inspect the wheels. This is when the trouble started…. This man took his wheels and replaced them with pizzas. He then said “this is a creepy show!” As he peddled away into the distance. He didn’t come back after this but my son was paranoid and shivering like a leaf in the brisk winter breeze for the rest of our cycle. He then approached us at the end of our trip saying “relax I’m not Justin beiber” as he left the scene in a horse pulled carriage.
