My name is Nik. I love Toronto’s outdoor adventures and interesting buildings and gems around the city! I have been in and out of Toronto since 2016. Coming from cultrue where sport is deeply ingrained in one's lifestyle, my favourite activities by far are biking around the parks and SUPping the lake! During the summer, Toronto is an absolutely fantastic place for adventures, and the views of the city from the lake are abolutely stunning. This is also the time of festivals and many concerts, and I am always trying to stay informed about what events are held in town. Before becoming a Torontonian, have lived mostly in Europe and shortly in New Zealand. I am raised in Prague. I also lived in Lisbon and Sofia and for the last decade I have been teaching skiing and guiding in the Swiss Alps. In case I am not chasing an adventure, I work in tech and finance. I try to stay outdoors as much as possible to compensate for the hours spent in front of screens. Since being in high school, I have been almost always working part-time in the tourist sector, so it is now 2 decades since I have been delivering some sort of experience to visitors of either Prague, the Swiss Alps, or also some other places such as Whistler, Canada or Wanaka, New Zealand. I have worked with people from all over the world and dare to say you will be with a very experienced guide on your tour. Nevertheless, a guide who is always looking to learn and improve. Being a passionate nature lover, I am eager to deliver some adventure-packed experiences combined with city highlights! If you like to stay fit, while exploring both man made and natural wonders of Toronto, then I am the right person to tour with!

Exploring Toronto's most beautiful gem
Overview of your Toronto tour
On this tour we will make sure you are on track with staying fit and energetic and most importantly feed your adventurous spirit! We will explore one of Toronto's best gems and one of my all-time favourite places to visit, which is the Toronto Islands! We will also have the possibility to visit some of Toronto's highlights that are in the nearby area, which are the CN Tower, Rogers Centre or Ripley's Aquarium. The islands are a very special place since they do not allow any cars and compared to downtown Toronto, this is a place of absolute peace and tranquillity. If you are a bird and animal lover, then you might be able to spot some of Toronto Islands' habitat, such as Canada Geese, Swans, Cormorants, Red-Winged Blackbirds, Cardinals, Beavers, Deer, Squirrels and Monarch butterflies. If you are a passionate marine adventurer, we will have the possibility to rent SUP board or a kayak for exploring the calm waters of the lagoon with some stunning city views.
Your Toronto tour itinerary
We meet at Jack Layton's Ferry Terminal. We perfectly like to head toward Ward's Island with the ferry. On the island, we start off with 10 10-minute walk and enjoy some stunning views of the city skyline while going toward the SUP rental/bike rental. If you prefer to explore the waters, we choose kayak, SUP or other available water sport equipment, and we tour the lagoon. In case you prefer bikes or walking, we will explore the island by land and discuss the history and the struggles of the local community. After the island tour, we head back to the city to see CN Tower, Ripley's Aquarium or Rogers Centre. This is where our tour will finish. The itinerary is fully adjustable to your preferences and my highest priority will be to tailor it to your best satisfaction and fitness level. * I reccomend bringing swimsuit, comfortable clothing and shoes, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and potentially a dry bag for keeping your belongings dry during water activities.
