ABOUT US
Our Team
Toronto is the kind of city that rewards a closer look, and we love showing it off. Our team brings a wide range of interests to the saddle — transit, architecture, history, art, music, the ravines that thread through the city — and a knack for meeting guests where they are, including those who’ve never been on a bike. Every guide on our team is First Aid/CPR certified (everyone but our mechanic guides), we’re fully insured, and we’ve been proud members of Destination Toronto since opening in 2011.
Terrence – Founder & General Manager
Terrence founded Toronto Bicycle Tours in 2011, building on a small touring venture he’d been running since 2008. He’s particularly nerdy about transit systems, and don’t be surprised if a musical analogy or two finds its way into the conversation. He’ll introduce you to the people who shape this place — the obvious ones and the ones nobody put on a plaque. Every city has its strengths and weaknesses, and he loves comparing notes with visitors about theirs.
Ryan – Tour Operations Manager, Fleet & Facility
Ryan keeps our fleet rolling and our shop running, and when he’s not wrenching or guiding, he’s logging kilometres on his own bike across half the city. He came for the food and stayed for everything else — the ravines, the festivals, the way every neighbourhood feels like its own small town. Ask him about the best patio in Leslieville or which side streets actually connect downtown to the waterfront, and he’ll point you somewhere good.
Genny – Tour Operations Manager, Guest Services Lead
Genny leads our Guest Services team and guides tours when she can get out from behind the desk. Off the clock, she’s outside with her kids — skating in winter, swimming in summer, running through whichever park is closest. The Don Valley is her happy place, and if you ask, she’ll happily talk your ear off about the trail network down there. She loves working alongside our team and seeing the city refresh itself through every new visitor’s eyes.
Mariana – Tour Operations Manager, Guest Services Lead + Web & Social
Mariana co-leads Guest Services and runs our website and social channels, which means if you’ve seen our Instagram, that’s her eye. Outside of work she’s a photographer and artist, and Toronto’s overlapping cultural scenes are what keep her camera busy. On tours she’ll show you the stories behind the murals and the streetscapes most people cycle past without noticing.
Carlos – Tour Guide
When he’s not showcasing our beautiful city to guests, you can find Carlos developing his Cannabis Consulting Firm, watching movies, traveling, or simply strolling around the city. What Carlos loves most about Toronto is the multiculturalism found in every corner. He enjoys sharing this rich diversity with visitors on our Toronto Bicycle Tours.
Consuelo – Tour Guide
Consuelo first came to Toronto as a traveller and ended up staying. When she’s not guiding, she’s hiking, practicing yoga, or finding her way to the nearest patch of green. She has a calm, attentive energy and a knack for reading what a group actually wants — whether that’s more history, more snack stops, or just a slower pace through the islands.
Sydney – Tour Guide
When she’s not pedaling with guests around the city, Sydney’s diving into her studies at the University of Toronto. With her love for history, Sydney’s favorite spot in Toronto is the Distillery District, where every cobblestone tells a story. What she loves the most about our vibrant city is its diversity, which provides her with endless opportunities to hear stories from around the world. At Toronto Bicycle Tours, she cherishes the chance to share tales about the city’s rich culture.
Irina – Mechanic
Irina is the rockstar mechanic responsible for keeping our bike fleet up to the best safety and comfort standards. When she’s not fine-tuning bicycles, you can find her hiking, enjoying motorsports, or engaging in sim racing. What Irina loves most about Toronto is the city’s ethnic and culinary diversity, as well as the privilege of living near one of the largest lakes in the world.

I went on the tour in April 2018 and had a great time, Terence and Pree looked after us very well and i learned so much and found some excellent spots to revisit prior to leaving a few days later. The tour was very interactive and fun,l also took the Island Tour with Tara later the same day, and had some magic views of the Toronto Skyline and learnt some more about about this wonderful city. I will be back and would love to try another tour from this great company. Thank you Terence , Pree and Tara.
