Great tour - We really enjoyed our bike tour to the Islands. Caitlin was a great guide, handing out extra water when needed and sharing lots of interesting facts along the way. The bikes were very easy to use and the trip was easy to follow - the steepest hill was getting out of the parking garage! Plenty of opportunities to get a nice photograph, and a really interesting place to visit, we definitely recommend for anyone who has a free morning in Toronto. Thanks so much to Caitlin for the great tour!

Just do it! - This was a wonderful tour. Ryan was informative and entertaining. The bike ride was relaxing with several stops. Well worth the money as we’d never have learned so much on our own.

Great tour of Toronto Island - I had an excellent time with our guide Caitlin. For anyone who’s worried the hardest part of the cycling is coming out of the parking lot - and after that it’s 99% flat! It’s a great way to see the island and a chance to get some exercise in at the same time.

Nice ride but not as interesting as we had been told by others - The office was easy to find (if you followed their instructions) and the bicycles were well maintained and comfortable. As the beginning of the trip was early on a Sat morning, we did not have any trouble navigating through the streets of Toronto at the start. Ferry rides to and fro from the island were seamless. Tour of the island was so-so. There were a few antidotes that were interesting, but the majority of the tour was the same information we had read about online prior to the trip. The return bike trip from the ferry to the office was a little nerve racking as the traffic was heavy. We felt that our guide (Katelyn?) should have been more cautious and stopped at some of the intersections to wait for everyone to catch up. We would have liked a more experienced and professional guide. If we were to bicyle on the island again, I would just take the ferry there and rent the bikes there too. For the price, it wasn't worth having a guide. Just read up on the island first.
