Very charming, must do especially at sunset - Great tour in everything, the organization, the attention, the information, the fun and the views, it's definitely the best way to explore the islands cause it would take toooo long to do it by walking.
The views from islands are amazing of the city and the information our guide gave us were very thorough and now I feel I understand all the history and know everythng about the different places on the islands!

Great time - We had the best time on our bike tour! Diana was fantastic and explained everything to us. Bikes were in great shape, we were given helmets, water, and granola bars. It was cold, but she had extra gloves and ponchos available. Trip was safe, ferry ride was short but fun, with best views of Toronto! We loved biking around the islands, which were so beautiful. Highlight of our trip!

Great views, worth it! - What a great tour! Please note that you will have to bike through the city to get to the ferry. On a busy concert weekend like ours, this may be stressful if you don't ride often. But, even with this, it's worth it! The islands tour is leisurely and accessible, and the views are incredible. The tour guide is so sweet and kind, and offers ample photo opportunities to your group. I highly recommend the evening tour, as the sunset is breathtaking.

Spectacular Toronto Sunset - An excellent way to spend an evening. Tour lasts 3 hours. The bikes are in great condition and easy to ride and each bike has many gears so easy to climb up slopes.
Our guide was a lovely Mexican lady and even though English was not her first language, everything she said was easy to understand from the safety briefing and commentary as we rode around the Islands. The views from the islands especially the sunset were awesome.

Excellent adventure! - Don't miss this tour! And Im a 40-something woman who doesnt ride bikes consistently. It's great way to learn about a fun side of Toronto and get away from the city. Islands are interesting and the tour guide Ryan was very informative. Ryan was so safety focused. I informed Ryan that I was not comfortable on city streets. He was accomodating and had me ride in the front. The street riding was minimal and well planned out. He's aware of all the lights and timing. Ferry ride was fun and provided great views. Highly recommend!

Toronto Islands - Great tour, but I would have loved to have seen more of Center Island. Also, the garage (meeting location) is a little weird.

Never received our pictures - Overall, it was enjoyable. Just a few things you should be aware of.
You will meet up in a parking garage, which is a little confusing at first but It was convenient for parking purposes.
The traffic in Toronto was crazy. give yourself plenty of time.
You will be riding on city streets, to get to the ferry. I was not a fan of that but obviously I survived. If that's a deal breaker for you then this may not be the tour for you.
Also we tripped our tour guide with cash after the trip but still got an email asking for a tip and no one sent us our pictures. Emailed the company but no response.
