Only three Toronto bike tours here: what that means
This site lists three Toronto bike tours, and on the basics they are close: each runs 3.5 hours, and the gap between the lowest price and the highest is $16. What differs is where you ride and on what.
Downtown and the Toronto Islands share the top rating, 4.9, on 481 and 344 reviews. The e-bike ride has 4.7 on 23 reviews: a fair score on a small base, so give it less weight than the other two.
None of the three descriptions says what the price includes beyond the ride itself. Check that on the listing before you book.

Worth it?
Are Toronto bike tours worth it? What the numbers say
Per hour, the three rides cost $24.86 downtown, $27.14 on the Toronto Islands and $29.43 on the e-bike. That is the same 3.5 hours each time, so the price gap is the difference in route and in bike.
On reviews the downtown ride is the most tested: 481 at 4.9. The islands ride has the same score on 344. Both sit above 4.63, the average rating across the 35,992 reviews of all 37 tours on this site.
Against the top pick: the Harbor and Islands Sightseeing Cruise costs $28 for one hour on the water. The Toronto Islands ride costs $67 more and lasts two and a half hours longer; that money buys the time and the ride itself.
Prefer to see the city from the water instead? The boat page compares the harbour and island cruises, a meal cruise and the twilight canoe.
