Route description: This 11-day route allows you to enjoy trips of 60 to 130 km per day. The route is 80% on shared roads and 20% on bicycle paths; always close to the waterways.

Day 1: Toronto

Arrival in Toronto by plane/train/bus. Private transportation is available for groups of 6 or more. Call our consultants to discuss the different options available.
