Get on your bike for this exploration of our city’s waterfront heritage. Enjoy a leisurely cycle along the shoreline – experiencing the parks, beaches, and landmarks that span Toronto’s lakeside trails.
We are excited to host in-person tours again and ask for your help and patience in making the experience as safe as possible for everyone. All tour events will follow Toronto Public Health guidelines and enhanced Heritage Toronto safety measures.
You will not be able to join a Tour group if you have not registered ahead of time through our website.
To offset additional COVID-19 protocols, a $20 fee is required for all in-person tours this year and must be paid in advance when registering.
A loud speaker sound system will be used on this tour to ensure physical distancing and a quality experience for all participants.
The number of people that can safely gather on tour will be determined by Public Health guidelines and may change over the course of the Tours season.
This will include contact tracing and self-screening for all participants.
We will also be introducing contactless payment methods on Tours for people who wish to make a donation to our charity.
Please note: This is a cycling tour that will take place along public cycling paths. Participants will need to bring a bicycle to participate. Participants can also rent a bicycle for the duration of the tour using the City of Toronto’s Bike Share program.
The nearest Bike Share station to the start of the tour is at the Marilyn Bell Tennis Courts. At the end of the tour, participants can return their rentals at the Bike Share station at the Visitor’s Pavilion Entrance at Tommy Thompson Park.
For everyone’s safety and comfort, we respectfully ask all participants to wear a mask during in-person tours. Masks will be available upon request. We also ask that all participants wear a helmet when cycling during the tour.
1389 Lake Shore Boulevard West (west side of tennis courts at Marilyn Bell Park)
For over 25 years we have been touring through the city with groups, learning some fun facts, little-known stories, and about the amazing people that have contributed to Toronto's heritage.
Many of our tours are developed and led by those who are part of our Emerging Historians program.
