Day 1
Arrive in Niagara-on-the-Lake, one of the prettiest towns in Canada. Take a stroll along shady streets lined by lovely 19th-century houses, many of them proudly displaying heritage plaques. Then explore the shops and treat yourself to dinner in one of the town’s excellent restaurants. This might be the perfect time to take in a play at the Shaw Festival.
Day 2
Learn about life in 1812 at Fort George, then head off through the vineyards to the Welland Canal. Soon you’re rolling over hills, lush and green in the summer and blazing red in the fall. Take some time to walk in Short Hills Provincial Park, then glide down the Escarpment. Ahead of you is the blue vastness of Lake Ontario and, on a clear day, you can see the CN Tower in Toronto. Arrive at the charming village of Jordan, where you’ll spend two nights.
Ride Distance: 48 km, elevation gain 225 m.*
Day 3
Start with a short climb up the Escarpment, wander in to Ball’s Falls, then ride through the vineyards. Visit some of the province’s best wineries and enjoy a bit of wine tasting. Be sure to treat yourself to a spectacular lunch at one of the winery restaurants. Follow tiny roads that meander along Lake Ontario and through apple and peach orchards, then return to Jordan.
Ride Distance: 37 km, elevation gain 252 m.*
Day 4
Head for Port Dalhousie, on the shore of Lake Ontario. Browse through the shops and stroll along the harbour. Follow the waterfront trail, then pedal along the Welland Canal bike path. At Lock 3 you can climb up to a viewing stand and almost touch the huge ships that pass by. Ride all the way to Thorold to the Twinned Flight Locks where ships climb up and down the Niagara Escarpment. Then it’s back to wine country, as you approach Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Ride Distance: 45 km, elevation gain 107 m.*
Day 5
Take a final stroll around Niagara-on-the-Lake or do some last minute souvenir hunting, before departing for another adventure.

Tour Reviews
“We choose your company because we could pick the departure date and the location fit our needs. I was happy with the overall experience. This was my first bike trip and didn’t know how I would handle the daily riding and how it would fit in with the non riding part of a vacation it all went well.”
“The area managers were great! We needed some changes on our bikes and they could not be more accommodating. We had great service from everyone. Very friendly and willing to help us. The accommodations were great.”
“Had a wonderful time – thanks! I’m looking forward to Tuscany in September” and “the trip exceeded my expectations.”
“I was suprised by the beautiful and different vistas I experienced each day. Incredible roadways; reminded me of quality of French back roads. The restaurant Inn on the Twenty in Jordan was incredible. Hard to believe such a sleepy village has such a high-end establishment.”
“The Ontario landscape was delightful. The Ontario weather was perfect. The Canadian people were marvelous. All in all this was one of my BEST self-guided tours. Thanks much.”
“We returned on Sunday and wanted you to know that we had an amazing trip! The accommodations were fantastic, the scenery was breathtaking, Steve (our coordinator) was great, and the biking was superb. It was one of the best vacations ever. We can’t wait for our next trip!!! The pre-tour material was overall very informative and any questions that the material didn’t answer were answered promptly by Randonnee. The accommodations in Niagara Falls, Port Colborne and Jordan were fabulous. We would stay at any one of those places again.The service provided by your office and the area manager was very good and speedy. The overall experience was excellent. This was one of the best vacations ever. We’ll definitely travel with Randonnee again. Thanks for great time.”
