| - It was my boyfriend's birthday yesterday and I didn't want to go with the usual options. That's boring. So what about an experience? What about a WINTER SEGUAY TOUR OF THE DISTILLERY DISTRICT?
It was a surprise, it was freezing and it was sososo much fun. They're not open on Mondays but get in touch with them early and anything is possible. We walked in and our guide was waiting for us with a smile and seguays aplenty. We signed wavers, got fitted in our helmets (pink for me, just cause), and soon enough we were outside learning how to use these things. Boyfriend was a natural; I was more apt at going backward then forwards but after a little, guided roll around the area I could handle it.
Since we were the only people on this particular tour, it could be specialized. Did we want more riding around or more history? Anywho, we wanted it all and that's what we got. We rolled around and got many hilarious looks but no one was hatin'. It kind of made me want to bust out some speakers and play "Ridin' Dirty" by Chamillionaire.
Bring warms socks, gloves, scarf and hat! Luckily, since this was a custom-made trip, we had the luxury of deciding when we wanted our Soma hot chocolate break- which comes included in the package. Safe to say, the Mayan hot chocolate was just what we needed to brave some more cold. But we didn't even have to yet! We went just across the road to Mill Street Brewery and tried samples of various beers, all with some knowledgeable staff and having a great time.
We learnt so much! Our guide that whole time was fun, smart and outgoing. He made jokes along the way, made me feel comfortable during this vulnerable time and was happy to share some secrets of Toronto's "dirty" past.
I highly, highly suggest it. Don't be lame, surprise your loved one with a gift that keeps on giving for a whole hour.
