An Excellent Way to Really See and Explore Calgary! - We had an amazing afternoon seeing Calgary on our Bike Tour. Our guide Darrel was the BEST! He was so friendly, knowledgeable and really personalized every aspect of our tour. We learned so much history and ended the afternoon having a really good flavor for Calgary and its people. We highly recommend Toonie Tours and ask for Darrel!

So glad we did this! - We had a super fun time doing the 3 hour bike tour. Being on bikes we were able to go further, go faster and to see more than a regular walking tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and it was apparent she was proud of her hometown. She took great care of us!

A taste of urban Calgary - It was a quick and easy way to see interesting urban landmarks of Calgary. Our bike guide concentrated on a few interesting stopping points without overloading the info contents. One can return to these sites by oneself on another day if one wishes.

Fun afternoon exploring... - Fun afternoon exploring Calgary on 2 wheels! Stopped for quick info at a lot of landmarks (maybe more than we expected!). We loved riding through Calgary Stampede grounds and the stop for a coffee / snack at The Apprentice was great for a few extra minutes off the bikes and a delicious sandwich! Calgary is a great bicycling city with lots of dedicated bike lanes and bike paths along the Bow and Elbow Rivers, which we loved.

Great experience, but a little work needed - Hi - We were very glad we did this tour! The bike ride was beautiful, we loved riding along the river and seeing sights we wouldn't have found on our own. We did have a booking mixup, where the tour operator had no record of our upgrade to e-Bikes. I had to search my email to find the booking confirmation which made me feel uneasy since I'd paid for 6 upgrades at $50 pp. In the end they honored the email confirmation I'd found. Our guide showed us lots of art around the city which we found to be interesting and beautiful. It was disappointing that the guide openly shared his opinions of which ones were ugly or too expensive as he explained each piece. Most guides are proud of (or at least to pretend to be) the city and landmarks they show. I would highly recommend the tour, overall it was a great experience.
