Downtown & Island
Combo Tour
From bustling streets to peaceful shores, experience two sides of Toronto in one remarkable day.
Roll through Toronto’s lively downtown by day, then trade the bustle for breezy island paths and skyline views across the harbour. This unique combo blends city icons, neighbourhood energy, and hidden corners with the calm of beaches, gardens, and a car-free island community — the best of both worlds in one day.

From bustling streets to peaceful shores, experience two sides of Toronto in one remarkable day.
Roll through Toronto’s vibrant downtown by day, then shift gears for a lakeside escape on the Islands at twilight. This full-day combo blends the city’s iconic sights, lively neighbourhoods, and hidden corners with the calm of beaches, gardens, and skyline views across the water. It’s the best of both worlds in a single ride.
Why This Tour Works
In just one day, you’ll cover more ground than most visitors do in a weekend — from must-see icons and lively neighbourhoods to island breezes and skyline photo stops. With two tours combined, this ride is ideal for guests who want to maximize their time or who only have one day in the city.
Our small groups (max 12 riders) and friendly local guides make it personal, flexible, and fun. Along the way, your guide shares stories that bring Toronto’s history, culture, and everyday life into focus — plus plenty of tips for what to explore next.
No need to be a seasoned cyclist: the route is safe, flat, and easy to ride, with frequent stops for photos, rest, and conversation. Bikes, helmets, snacks, water, and ferry tickets are all included, so you can simply enjoy the experience.
