Some 38,500 Irish men, women and children landed in Toronto, then a city of just 20 000 inhabitants. The seven sculptures reflect the tragic loss of life on the North Atlantic, as well as upon arrival on Canadian shores. This site also offers spectacular views of the Toronto skyline.

We loved our breakfast bike tour of Toronto. Wendy was an exceptional guide and we got many great insights into the city. I loved the opportunity to take the bikes on a water taxi to the island and experience a totally different part of Toronto from downtown. Plus we got a great breakfast on the island. The tour was a perfect combination of riding, sight seeing, history, and relaxing.
Thank you Utah! It was a fun morning.
I would highly recommend Pedal Toronto! Wendy was a fantastic tour guide, knows the Toronto area well (she is a native), learned some interesting facts about the city, had a delightful snack too! Pedal Toronto is a fun and informative outing all while biking on well maintained bikes.
I truly enjoyed this half-day easy cycling tour. We were a nice little group of 5 people and had a lot of fun. Wendy showed us a few interesting places in Toronto before we took the ferry to the Toronto Islands. After a lovely breakfast, we cycled accross the islands with stops and explanations from Wendy at beautiful view points and sites. I definitely recommend this tour which, in my view, is one of the best activities one can do in Toronto.
Thank you for the review, I am happy to hear you enjoyed your tour so much. Keep cycling!
My friend and I enjoyed a perfect day with Wendy as our guide. She took us to many hidden treasures in the distillery district, along the Toronto waterfront, and on Toronto Island. She added interesting information along the way. The pace was ideal for a relaxing tour, the timing was great and Wendy was very attending to any of our needs. I have already recommended this tour to other friends.
Thank you for the great review, we appreciate hearing your thoughts on our tours! Keep cycling!!
We had a great morning bike tour with Wendy. The bikes were great, the tour was very organized and we saw a lot of sites in a 3 hour ride. Highly recommended!
Thanks Richard, it was a pleasure cycling with you and sharing stories about our respective cities. Keep riding!
We were spoiled in getting Wendy, the owner, to lead our excursion. She was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the city. The time spent on the island is something every Toronto visitor needs to see — what a treasure. Perfect pace, wouldn’t change a thing. Well worth it!!
Thank you!! We appreciate your kind words and happy to hear we’ve created a tour to enjoy.
This is a great tour from this local business. We liked the route along the shore front learning more about this part of the city and then crossed to the island for some peaceful cycling close to the city. Everything is level and an easy ride nearly all just on cycle lanes so feels safe and helmets provided. Bikes seemed in good condition and were height adjusted to suit before departure. We've done cycle tours in several world cities , always enjoyed them and couldn't fault this one. There were six in our party overall and we had Jill and Wendy guide us round. At time of writing this tour and Pedal Toronto both have perfect 100% 5* reviews and our experience matched that.
Thank you!! We enjoyed our ride as well and appreciate your lovely review. We love our city and cycling and always love hearing that it has translated into a great experience. Cheers, Wendy
EXCELLENT bike tour!!! A great overview of Toronto and the island including a Tiki taxi ride and a ferry ride, Wendy and Jill were great guides and so informative. Loved the lemonade at the end.
Thanks Juli, it was a pleasure meeting you both and cycling with you. Next time you're in town we will show you the markets and hidden gems in the city. Cheers, Wendy
Super organized, informative and fun. Bicycle trail, bikes onto the ferry, ride around the island, return on the ferry - then back to cycling on the trail along the lake. Great way to see and learn about Toronto.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback, come back and visit us again.
Fantastic half day tour led by Wendy who was so informative. We had not been on a bike for years however she put us at ease & we soon got into it. Such a lovely place to see by bicycle. One of our favourite parts of the tour was going across to the island & riding around, it was fascinating. Thanks Wendy for a super time.
Thank you! We love the islands as well and are happy to hear it was your favourite part. Cheers, Wendy
