I’m Steve Lawrence and for quite a few years I have led two informative and fun bicycle tours of beautiful and historic Kingston, Ontario.
My 3-hour Downtown Kingston tour will show you many things of natural and cultural interest, including the Queen’s and Royal Military College campuses, parks and the lakeshore trail, harbours and prisons, as well as British Empire landmarks and other buildings of architectural interest. No one has ever had a problem with the 14-kilometre distance, as the route is pretty flat and the pace is leisurely, and I can promise you an enjoyable and memorable experience.
The cost for this tour and picnic is $35 Canadian per person for groups of 2-3 people, $30 Canadian per person for groups of 4-8 people, tax included.
I also lead a half-day Kingston Mills Picnic tour. This tour makes its way up to Kingston Mills, the first locks on the Rideau Canal, and there we will enjoy all the beauty and history while having a leisurely picnic consisting of a wide selection of breads, cheese, fruit, cold cuts, desserts and refreshments. On our way back into town we will stop by Fort Henry and the RMC campus.
The cost for this tour and picnic is $55 Canadian per person for groups of 2-3 people, $45 Canadian per person for groups of 4-8 people, tax included.
I am a nationally certified Can-Bike cycling skills instructor and have a lot of experience leading group tours. Cyclists wishing to take these tours are strongly advised to wear helmets and must be willing to obey the rules of the road.
