Experience Overview:
History In Motion: Waterfront WestThis is a very unique experience because we provide historical detail about what has made Toronto what it is today. Most bicycle tours provide only basic information about the places they stop at and pass by. We lead unique and unconventional bicycle tours to the more interesting and lesser known historical sites in the city and incorporate national and local history in our stories. We go to places even locals don't know about. As well, we use Toronto's advanced bicycling network system along the Waterfront to provide a very safe way to see the city and to by-pass traffic congestion.
Sean is an award-winning retired History and Languages teacher [French, Spanish and German] who spent over 25 years in high school classrooms. He loves to show newcomers to the city some of its more interesting and lesser known corners, ones that are often overlooked on regular sightseeing tours. In short, it’s the ideal forum for him to share his passions for cycling, history and languages.
