Overview
Meet and greet the local tour guide and the rest of the small group near the front entrance of the Village by the Grange in downtown Toronto. There will be a brief introduction to Toronto before beginning the approximately 3.5-hour ride around Toronto’s eastern islands.
The tour begins with a brief ferry ride across the Inner Harbour to the eastern Toronto Islands, where bicycles are preferred in this, the largest car-free community in North America.
See historic landmarks like the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse, the oldest existing lighthouse on the Great Lakes and one of Toronto's oldest buildings, and the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, one of the world’s oldest and largest yacht clubs. Then stop for a snack and admire Toronto’s waterfront parks and beaches, as well as a breathtaking panoramic view of the city skyline.
Throughout the tour, the guide will provide information about the history of the islands over the past 200 years as well as its role as a residential community, recreation spot, transportation hub, scenic retreat — even a sporting facility. The tour ends back near the Village by the Grange.

Fun morning bike ride

We had two guides for the price of one! Claire and Jenny safely guided us down to and around the islands, with lots of great knowledge and gems of info. They came prepared if the weather turned cold or wet and were friendly and engaging. Thanks ladies!
Wonderful tour!

Ryan was an excellent tour guide! Super friendly and so knowledgable about the history of the islands and Toronto in general. He even helped us plan the rest of our day in the city, complete with street car routes. Bikes were really nice, and the terrain was pretty flat. Washrooms were available along the route. It was cooler on the island, so dress in layers. Overall, great experience. Would definitely recommend!
It was a great way to...

A must do while in Toronto

This was an amazing experience and highly recommend if you have a morning or afternoon free while in Toronto. We are retired and the amount of biking was just right for us(not regular bike riders). The tour of the island, spectacular views of the skyline, and ferry ride over just perfect! Our guide Oscar took good care of us and was very knowledgeable of local history and the island.
