This was our first time visiting Toronto and we had an excellent time with Mariana! She made sure everyone had a comfortably sized bike with an appropriate seating adjustment and securely fitting helmet. She provided everyone with multiple water bottles and made sure to take frequent breaks at sites of interest. Her instructions were easy to follow with regards to bike safety and she was able to keep our group of 6 (4 in our team plus another pair) together throughout the entire tour with no issues. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, regardless of their experience level as it can likely accommodate any rider with even just a basic knowledge and familiarity. The tour itself was relaxing, beautiful, and educational. We frequently stopped for historical and contemporary updates on the places we visited while traversing the city and islands. The fact that there are effectively no cars on the island itself really enhanced the experience and made it feel like being out for a serene Sunday bike ride with the family. We really appreciated that at each stop she already had a nice spot picked out to take group photos and helped position and arrange us for optimal configuration and angles. This was such a wonderful way to explore the Toronto Islands, I highly recommend this tour and our guide Mariana! read more

This was an awesome experience for us!!! We wanted to see the Toronto sky line and do an activity we wouldn't normally do on vacation, and it was even better than we expected. Our 10 and 13 year olds loved it. Not too difficult at all. Very easy and relaxing. Oscar was a great guide! Highly recommend! read more

September 24, 2024. Had a fabulous twilight tour of Toronto Islands with the lovely Mariana, who was full of interesting information and was a very caring and sympathetic guide for someone as unsteady on a bike as me! Everything was provided - a good bike, helmets, water bottles, ferry crossings, and even a poncho against the rain! Mariana took some great photos along the way, and knew the best spots to stop for a viewing and pictures. We really enjoyed it and I could not recommend this tour highly enough. read more

This is a review of just the bike rental itself as we skipped out on the tour. We reserved in advance and the bikes were ready and adjusted roughly to our heights when we arrived. The bikes are comfortable even after almost 4 hours of riding. They come with 21-speeds, a clear ringing bell, a bottle cage and a kick stand. Both picking up and returning them was super easy. We opted for this option for $40/person for the day even though the Toronto Bike Share is cheaper at $7/person for the day pass just because we wanted to avoid having to check in and out bikes every 30 min to avoid the $4 overage fees. read more

Did the am Toronto Islands tour and it was A+ the whole way. Bikes were ready to go as soon as we arrived and it's an easy ride from the office to the ferry. You start early to avoid the crowds, which was a good call considering how long the ferry lines were when we got back. The ferry ride over provides stunning views of downtown Toronto. When we went in May the mask mandate was still in effect on public transportation but you were able to remove them as soon as you got off the ferry. The ride around the island is leisurely with no big hills. There are multiple stops so the guides can tell you stories about the history of the islands. You ride along the boardwalk, through neighborhoods, over a couple of bridges, and past numerous beaches and parks. Terrance and Liam took good care of us. Would gladly recommend them to anyone visiting Toronto. read more

We had a super morning ride yesterday with Terrance of the Toronto Islands. Thank you!

This bicycle tour was incredible! A fabulously comprehensive look at all the major sections of downtown Toronto. (my fitness tracker showed we were actively riding for about 75 minutes/8 miles, with lots of stops/talks. Hills were minimal). The bikes are in great condition: sturdy + effortless gear shifting. The guide (Jim) was fun and very knowledgeable about the city's history (with great recommendations for things to do) I'd recommend this as a day ONE adventure to all Toronto visitors, as it is certain to fill out your "must do" list while in town! read more

Had a great solo trip to the islands with Oscar. The bike was super comfortable and all his instructions were very clear. He gave me great information and was very personable and friendly. We talked a lot along the way. I'd highly recommend this tour (and especially Oscar) to anyone visiting Toronto! read more

We had a terrific time seeing the city with Mike and Ryan! The bikes were comfortable and well-maintained, and the route was interesting and with the perfect amount of sight-seeing and riding. Ryan was definitely a perfect ambassador for the city of Toronto, as well as for Canada. By the time we were done, I wanted to move here permanently! They both went out of their way to give us information for the rest of our stay, and made great recommendations for eating and adventure. I definitely suggest taking this tour when you first arrive to get a feel for the city! read more

Ryan was very knowledgeable about Toronto and the islands, great personality and spirit. He is equipped with all sorts of treats for the customers, including gloves and a warm poncho. The scenery of the tour is spectacular and the bikes are comfortable and come in different sizes. Recommended. read more

I can't recommend this tour enough!! I booked on a cold winter day and had the tour guide Terrance to myself. Even though I was the only customer, I was treated with the utmost respect, had a wonderful time, and can say this was my favorite thing to do in my 3 weeks visiting Toronto! I learned so much, got some light exercise, and had such fun chatting with Terrance. He was genuine, and interested in my story and my visit to Toronto. Although I booked this trip solo, I felt like I was with a friend! Highly recommend any time of year. Even in winter the sights were breaktaking, and there were no crowds at all. I felt like I had rented out the islands! read more

This was a lot of fun and well worth it. Zoe the guide did a great job. The trip included a lot of biking, some historical stops on the islands, and some excellent photo ops. Highly recommend! read more

We did the downtown tour with Gabby (She was an excellent guide!) and an evening tour of Center Island. Both were a good time and worth the cost. Excellent way to see the city and learn things we would not otherwise know. The island tour in particular seemed really worth it, we had considered just renting bikes and riding around the island ourselves, but we enjoyed learning a bit of the island history and getting to ask questions on the tour. read more

I couldn't have asked for anything more from Toronto Bicycle Tours. They were professional, informative, friendly, and every other accolade I could bestow upon them. I signed up for the tour online. There was plenty of information about what tours they offer, date availability, and the landmarks covered on each tour. I could make my reservation and pay without hassle. I was looking forward to the tour for weeks. We had a wedding to attend in Toronto on Memorial Day weekend, and so we only had one day (a Sunday) to tour the city. I highly recommend Toronto Bike Tours if you only have one day in Toronto. There's no way I could have seen so much as efficiently as I did, nor gotten such an orienting run-down of the city's history without this tour. Sure, you can take one of those bus tours-- but you can't really get a good look at the architecture, back alleys, and peaceful parks while zooming around on a bus. Walking around on my own, I would have missed so many little gems. I'd also recommend if you are spending a few days in Toronto to take a tour early in your trip, and then pinpoint areas where you might return. The day finally arrived, and we met our guide inside of a mall area. At first I was expecting some kind of store-front setup, but this general meeting area was just fine. After we met our guide (the knowledgeable and approachable William!), we went into the bowels of an underground parking garage where the bikes are kept. The bikes felt good-- easy to handle and manage, but still sturdy for those high-traffic areas. We had a chance to orient ourselves to the bikes and rules of the road before heading out. Our group was small, only three tourists, guide William, and the owner Terrance. William maneuvered us through busy streets and crowds with ease. We stopped every few blocks and William would give us a thorough lesson on each site. I'm sure what he had time to share was only the tip of the iceberg, but he was happy to answer any other questions we had about the history and buildings of Toronto. I was very impressed! There were times that the human and/or vehicle traffic were so thick we had to get off our bikes and walk them, but for biking in a big city, I felt completely safe with William in the lead and Terrance bringing up the rear to make sure everything was a-ok. I also thought Toronto Bicycle Tours was a great value. For $90 per person, we got a bike rental, helmet, bottle of water, snack, and of course very VERY attentive and knowledgeable guidance for a little over FOUR HOURS. I learned so much! I have to add that our day with Toronto Bicycle Tours will be a day I will never forget. My boyfriend and I had such a perfect day (in great part due to the bike tour)-- and that evening he proposed! (I said yes.) We will definitely look up Toronto Bike Tours if/when we are visiting the area again, and I can't recommend them enough. read more

Could not have been happier with this tour - what a perfect way to see the city. Upon arrival, we were provided with excellent bikes, easily as nice as my road bike at home. The friendly guide gave us a little talk on what to expect, some brief instructions on hand signals, and we were off. We stopped every few blocks for some information and history, never riding for more than a few minutes. We walked through interesting buildings with our bikes, rode along the shore, down every important street, and learned all kinds of factoids about the founding, history, and current state of Toronto. The tour guides are true ambassadors for their city - their love for their hometown and their optimism for the city's future really comes through. I'd been to Toronto 10 years before and been bored. Had I taken this tour then, I wouldn't have labored under this unfortunate misconception for so long. read more

We totally enjoyed our experience with Toronto Bicycle Tours and our tour guide Terrence. Terrence was an excellent tour guide - adding interesting commentary including history, trivia and local flair - and really made it a great experience. Our family likes to do bike tours when visiting cities as it gives you a different view and appreciation for a city vs other modes of touring - and this one matched any other is overall quality and experience. Thanks Terrence! read more

If you do one thing in Toronto - it should be this! When you really want to get a feel for a city, there's nothing better than getting to know it by bicycle. You get to see a quite a bit of the town, but you're not rushed around like you would be on a tour bus. You get to see the city at human scale. My wife and I did the "Heart of Downtown" tour. Despite Toronto's size the tour was very safe. Our guide did an excellent job of bringing us through town avoiding most of the traffic. If you're not an every-day cyclist, don't be worried by the length of the trip. There is plenty of time spent out of the saddle. The guides are very knowledgeable about the city's layout and history. You'll stop at several parks, monuments, and historic places where your tour guide will fill you in while you have a chance to take photos. The guide also has a camera to photograph the group so you can remember your trip. You'll also go through several foodie neighborhoods which you may choose to revisit after you've worked up an appetite! When I go back to Toronto I'll be taking another tour - Toronto Bike Tours has several tours. I'll get to know the city even better! read more

Jenny and Buzz were amazing tour guides. You'll see places that you would not see on foot or by car. Highly recommended.

Today I took the morning Toronto island tour with Shawna and what a glorious day it was! I travel quite a bit and do many fun activities and this was great. Shawna was enthusiastic and knowledgeable making the whole time entertaining. I'd like to add that she took considerable safety measures to keep us safe. She absolutely went above and beyond every step of the way. read more

My boyfriend and I had an amazing Twilight Island tour with William. It was only the 3 of us and Will was funny, friendly, knowledgable, told great stories and even snapped pictures for us the whole night. The pace was very relaxed and I felt very safe while biking through the city. Dessert was tasty too. The view of the city from the island and the ferry can't be beat. It was a highlight of our trip!! Even after the tour, Will went above and beyond and gave us some really fun ideas about where to visit the next day. Thanks for the great adventure!!! read more

Claire was a fabulous guide for a bicycle tour of the islands. She was very knowledgeable and had fun stories to share. The islands were amazing! It was a chilly but beautiful day and I loved every minute of it. I highly recommend this tour to anybody visiting Toronto. read more

Kudos to Genny of Toronto Bicycle Tours. She was our guide. Professional, smart, fun, smiley, safe and enthusiastic. So proud of her home town of Toronto. Also, the bicycles were top notch. read more

Toronto Bicycle Tours (TBT) is the best possible way to explore Toronto! The city is completely flat and therefore very accessible to cyclists of all levels of experience. Besides, the stops were very frequent and the bicycles were great, so fatigue was out of the question. Our tour guide, Rick, was very personable and has knowledge both broad and deep in regards to Toronto's past and present. I got to fall in love with neighborhoods that I might never have seen if not for TBT. I'm convinced: bike tours are the best way to explore a city in an afternoon! read more

Professional staff, enjoyable tour. I learned a lot. The bikes were in great condition, and lightweight. Terrence the guide was the best. Highly recommend! read more

Terrence is a wonderful guide to the city and did a terrific job with our tour. My bicycle was in great condition, extra water bottles were a really nice touch, he answered all our questions and was knowledgeable, intelligent, well-spoken and attentive. Not to be missed! read more

Great way to see the city. Zoe and Nancy were great tour guides. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.

These people rock. We had a great tour with Gabbi and Buzz. Thanks for a great afternoon!!

Great tour of Toronto! Our guide was knowledgeable, our group was nice and small (5 people) and we saw lots of areas in the city. Rob, our guide, was very safe and accommodating for everyone in the group and answered all of our questions. Definitely recommend! read more

We took our 7 and 10 year olds on this bike tour. It was a great way to spend an afternoon with kids in Toronto - active enough to keep them busy, but with stops along the way with interesting dialogue about the city. Our guide, Terrance, was knowledgable and friendly, and the two other guides with our group helped with managing the traffic and keeping us hydrated. I would highly recommend this as a great first-day activity in Toronto to get yourself oriented in the city. read more

Great experience and a perfect way to see a different part of the city. We did the valley tour which was beautiful and our guide was fantastic. It was one of the highlights of our visit to Toronto. read more

Our family had a great time today on the bike tour with Jenny and Cass. We saw diverse and interesting areas of Toronto that we probably would not have seen on our own. The bike tour is a great way to see the city, get a little exercise, and enjoy learning about Toronto. I recommend it! read more

Got a gift certificate for a island am tour and was pleasantly surprised. The tour guide was super friendly and had lots of information for us. Small group recommended less then 6. Definitely worth doing if visiting Toronto or even like me you live here and have never tried it read more

Island Twilight tour was fantastic. Jacqui, our guide, was excellent. She was funny, knowledgeable, and kept us engaged for the entire tour. All the equipment was in great condition, clean, and of good quality. I would do it again in a heart beat. read more

I wish we did this tour earlier in our visit to Toronto. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable of the city and our tour also had a second guide who was there to take photos and provide additional information. Also, and thankfully unlike most touristy things where they have a photographer, they did not push an overpriced CD of photos at the end of the tour. We saw a number of interesting and different areas of the city that we would never have found on our own. The guides pointed out interesting restaurants and shops that they like for one reason or another, a few of which we later frequented. They also told us of interesting facts and history of Canada and the city. I would not say Toronto is the most bike friendly of cities, after all you are riding around a large and dense city with a group of bikes (not commuting to work on your own). But the guides made sure the ride was safe and comfortable, and seemed to do their best to take us on out of the way routes to avoid busy roads where possible. My family was very comfortable with the several hour ride and there was a much younger biker with our group who seemed to have a great time as well. Often at the end of these events (whether biking, hike, rafting trip, zip line) the guide makes a pitch for a tip, which did not happen here at all (although i still sought them out to provide a gratuity). I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Toronto. read more

What a fantastic day we had with Terrence as our guide to the beautiful islands! The easy-to-operate bikes were all set up for us when we arrived, so no time was wasted "getting fitted"....since some of the ride was on city streets, we were given plenty of safety instructions & Terrence was always looking out for us as we biked...it was especially nice to have a knowledgeable guide to tell us about the history of such an extraordinary city & its environs...It was a wonderful way to spend most of the day & we all just hated to see it end...Thanks, T, for showing us a great time!! read more
