Magical lights of Toronto - Our twilight bicycle tour was terrific. A highlight during our trip to Toronto. Oscar was knowledgeable and made our trip special. The ride was easy and so relaxing from the active city. The island is beautiful. The ferry ride back to the city was spectacular with the lights of Toronto magical.

Fun Ride - Great narrators with Islands history. Though they should have warned us we stopped at a nude beach. Some things can't be unseen.

Awesome views and a enthusiastic guide. - The enthusiasm of our guide, Sylvia, was radiating. We arrived just in time in their starting location and were greeted with a big smile. After fitting and testing the well equipped bikes in the underground parking garage we hit the very busy streets of Toronto, still suffering a bit from the floods of a few days before. We headed out to the ferry terminal while sightseeing the area around the CN tower and the old Powerplant. The tempo was perfect for everyone. Just before boarding the ferry we got a talk about what we would be about to see. They ferry itself gives you a prime view on the city skyline while the landing smaller planes come over head. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes to cross the water and debark on the Islands. Starting from Hanlan’s Point we drove the Island across with multiple stops & a very solid guide on the how’s and why’s of the Toronto Islands. We were given the most beautiful sunset from the residential Algonquin island overlooking the city skyline. After one more stop we reached the ferry and our way back to the shop. 3 hours, 15km and a ton of pictures and information later we said our goodbyes after taking a group selfie. A lot of fun and beautiful on a Thursday evening. Highly recommended.

Absolutely Amazing Bike Experience! - I’m an avid bike rider, and I love to experience different cities and countries via two wheels. The Toronto islands evening bike tour was by far one of the most exhilarating and fantastic biking experiences that I’ve ever had!
The tour description doesn’t do justice to what an exceptional tour this truly is. Having the opportunity to get on two wheels and adventure out of the city and onto a ferry to visit the surrounding islands fascinated our group.
The booking process was extremely simple, and mobile tickets were provided to us immediately. The meeting instructions were clear and concise, and no confusion was had on the part of our touring party.
Any tour worth it’s weight, is only as good as the tour guide. We were fortunate to have an exceptional tour guide. Sylvia is absolutely the best person to give you insight and information regarding the city, the surrounding area, and especially the islands in which we toured.
Her knowledge is incredible, and only matched by her winning personality. From the onset, Sylvia placed everyone at ease and made us feel extremely comfortable as she went over the safety rules of the bikes. She was extremely thorough, but also friendly as she gave us the dues and don’ts.
After a brief tutorial, and a test to ensure that everyone felt comfortable on their bikes, we were off for the adventure of a lifetime. The light rain that we experience during the beginning of our tour didn’t put a damper on the experience. The sprinkles ended as quickly as they begun, and we were off touring the city and heading toward the ferry.
If you like the outdoors, and love the feel of getting a little exercise and seeing a city from a different vantage point, then I highly suggest this tour. It is by far one of the best bike tours I’ve ever been on. If you have the opportunity and can request Sylvia, I suggest that you do that without hesitation. The tour itself was magnificent, but Sylvia stepped it up to a completely different level. I commend the company for hiring this young lady, she should be the model for all future tour guide!
If you’re thinking of something fun and exciting to do while you’re in Toronto, and you want to see a different side of the city I suggest this tour. You will not be disappointed and the views and scenery will blow you away!

Amazing Sunset Ride of Toronto Islands - My brother myself, and my sister-in-law had the opportunity to take part in this wonderful experience.
Our experience began Friday morning on a plane ride from Detroit. We were traveling to Toronto to spend a few days there and our goal was to make it out to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. As we sat on the plane, we thought “hey, we don’t do our Niagara Falls trip until the next day let’s do a bike ride.” So we started searching on Tripadvisor for the best opportunity and we came across this tour.
Well, we had a glitch as we actually booked our tour for the next day, Saturday, the same day that we were going on the Niagara Falls trip. We arrived at the site for the bicycle tour on Friday evening about a half an hour early and Sylvia in all of her professionalism was able to change our tour date from Saturday to Friday and we were able to participate.
Let me just say a few words about Sylvia. Quite frankly, she is the best. Her energy level, enthusiasm, knowledge, and love for what she does was on full display during the tour. Sylvia was gracious, patient, and just provided an outstanding tour. Her knowledge of not only the islands, but of Toronto proper was extraordinarily on point and interesting. There were only six of us on the tour, and she made each one of us fell as if we were the most important person in the world.
Sylvia by far is the best tour guide that we’ve had in a long time, and my brother and myself, and my sister-in-law have gone on many Bike tours. Back to the tour, if you love bike riding and ferries and interesting facts you’re going to love this tour. We went from the downtown area of Toronto to the ferry, landing to the islands of Toronto all in 3 1/2 hours and I could tell you it was not whirlwind, but it was satisfying. I highly recommend this tour and if it all possible you should specifically ask for, Sylvia

Great Activity for Families - We took an evening Island Tour on Father's Day and it was wonderful. Oscar was our guide and he was the best tour guide. The islands reminded me of Central Park in NYC and you get great views of the city.
