Had a personal bike tour (!) that morning with Ioan who represents the youth, energy of Toronto & Canada's ever dynamic population. I appreciated his love for the city and knowledge of its history, from the construction of the CN Tower, the inlaid gold windows of the RBC, and the geothermal exchange system under the University of Toronto. We covered much territory with the e-bike ending with a lovely cityscape view from Riverdale Park. Ioan was an absolutely delight to chat with and spend a quick 3 hrs. He recommended a great gelato place, Soma, in the Distillery District, which I stopped by afterwards. Thanks so much Ioan!!

We took the bike tour with Ioan mid-June. Really excellent all-around. Facility was easy to find (adjacent to King Edward Hotel), spacious, and clean restrooms. Bikes were BRAND NEW Trek's...seriously, we were the first riders I'm pretty sure. Both of us are veterans of bike tours from around the globe; from an equipment standpoint, this was the best ever. These are bikes MADE for city touring- multiple adjustments, big squishy seats, and shock absorber seat posts. Ioan was an excellent guide and he was receptive of our limitations (my 80 year old Mom was with us, and she's beyond riding in heavy traffic). The pace was easy, and the breaks frequent. Ioan knew a lot about Toronto, and has a very friendly demeanor. We were particularly impressed with the time the staff spent fitting our bikes and helmets, and also making sure we were comfortable and familiar with them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, and worth every cent.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Ioan made your experience so enjoyable with their professionalism, enthusiasm, and knowledge. It’s great to know you enjoyed exploring Toronto and learning all the fascinating history and fun facts. We're thrilled to hear our staff was involved and accommodating to make for an excellent ride in the city. We truly appreciate your recommendation and wish you safe and exciting travels ahead!
Absolute top recommendation to experience Toronto up close. Our guide Henri showed us Toronto at its best. He was super friendly - we were lucky to be out with him alone.

This was an absolutely incredible experience. My guide was super knowledgeable and was able to answer all the questions I had.

I had a wonderful experience on this tour. Rudyard is incredibly knowledgeable about Toronto’s history and has a real talent for storytelling—our three hours flew by. It happened to be a cold and windy day, which made things a bit uncomfortable, but Rudyard thoughtfully brought us to a few indoor spots so we could warm up. He kept a great pace, was easy-going throughout, and overall delivered the best walking tour I’ve ever taken.
