Toronto, Ontario, Canada Toronto Bicycle Tours Full time

A Dream Job for Toronto Loving Storytellers
Part-time Contract hrs/week), wage starting at $19/hr + tips

As one of our
Bicycle Tour Guides, you will be an ambassador for the city.

Often as the first point of real contact for new visitors from around the world, you will connect to people of all ages, in a way that is thoughtful and fun.


You know how to tell stories with more than just flash and energy - you're genuinely interested in people, and your stories create a connection, and encourage your guests to weave their own stories with yours.


You will be directly responsible for the safety and enjoyment of your customers, so knowledge of safe riding practices and experience riding in Toronto is essential.

You'll lead our award winning rides, on and off the beaten path, from the most popular landmarks and tourist spots to Toronto's hidden neighbourhoods, parks, and locales.


Our guides come from a variety of backgrounds, but they all love the outdoors, live in (and love) Toronto, and are comfortable leading and entertaining groups.

Maybe you're a grad student who loves to talk about urban affairs, an actor who relishes the opportunity to tell a great story, a hospitality worker who loves taking care of customers, or just an avid cyclist who believes that the best way to get to know a city is on two wheels.

Either way, if you are driven by your love of your city, and your desire to show others why Toronto is great, then we want to talk to you Or if you know someone who'd consider this their dream job - do them a favor and pass it along

What we're looking for
On a practical level, we need caring, personable, and responsible guides who have:

  • An ability to lead, organize, and engage groups of people of all ages and diverse backgrounds
  • Experience riding a bicycle in an urban environment, and live in Toronto today
  • Interest in history and current affairs, and in getting to know people from all over the world
  • An ability to work in a dynamic team environment
  • Experience working with the public, in sales or customer service is an asset
  • Fluent or highly profient in
    Dutch:
  • Available to work weekdays (mornings or afternoons or evenings), and weekends/holidays as required


Our Tour Guides get to work outside, meet interesting people from all over the world, and have a ball exploring our great city.

The Spanish Tour Guide will deliver tours in both Spanish and English.

The position is
August - early October, with training in July. The contract is 15 to 27 hrs/week.

All work is done in a set schedule with the possibility of mornings and/or afternoons and/or evenings and/or holidays. Pay is a competitive hourly wage with tips.
