Jason was an amazing tour guide; he gave us a wonderful overview of the history, sights, and sounds of Toronto. We throughly enjoyed our time exploring this vibrant city and went back later to the markets and museums Jason recommended, which did not disappoint.

Nick was funny, knowledgeable and very interesting. It was a great way to get familiar with the city and made our time in Toronto easier and better. We highly recommend this tour. It was worth every penny and more.
Nick was a great and knowledgeable guide. The tour took us to parts of the city we probably would not have made it to on our own. Highly recommend!
The tour was wonderful. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of downtown and shared a wonderful collection of historical photos to go with his stories. He was personable and fun and the time just flew by. I would highly recommend this tour
This was a great walking tour. Excellent way to get accumulated to the city. Our guide was so very friendly and knowledgeable about the city. Highly recommend this tour.
We had a great time on the tour with Nick and three other guests. It was great being such a small group. Nick was very informative & professional. It is obviously that he is very passionate about his home town of Toronto. Thank you Nick
Jason was an awesome tour guide. Very knowledgeable and personable. He knew fun facts about a variety of things and kept things interesting. We went to great sites and the pacing was excellent.
On a beaucoup aimé notre visite guidée avec Nick! On a appris plein de choses! Toronto est une très belle ville et on y vient souvent alors c’était super de la découvrir avec un excellent. On recommande fortement ce tour! Merci Nick! We love the guided tour with Nick! We learned so many things ! Toronto is a very beautiful city and we come here often so it was nice to discover the town with an excellent guide. We highly recommend this tour and thanks a lot Nick!
We had Nic as our guide and he was very informative, relatable and relaxed. He didn't rush the tour.
This walking tour was fantastic! The tour lead, Steve was very knowledgeable about Toronto history, kept checking in on group, was friendly. Cannot recommend enough!
It was a great tour! 3h sounds like a lot at first, but the guide, Nick, makes the time fly by. The stops are nicely spaced and the route is always pleasant to walk. This is a small group tour so folks got to interact with each other as well. Nick was super welcoming, knowledgeable and easy to listen to. He checked in on us throughout the tour and gave snacking recommendations as we walked along.
Great tour of the city! Nick was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and friendly and funny too! Highly recommend this tour!
Jason, our guide was amazing. He knows Toronto and its history. And he loves this city he lives in. There were 12 people on our walking tour and he made sure everyone stayed together and had a good time. Ask for Jason!
Our Guide Nick was excellent He combined humour and facts seamlessly I would definitely recommend the walk
Enjoyed this tour very much, especially the opportunity to experience Toronto old and new. This was done not just through site visits, but also the photo deck carried by our guide Jason, who was both pleasant and knowledgeable. The site choices were selected well and our group (<10) was small as advertised allowing for interaction with the guide and others in the group. Tour ran 3 hours and 40 minutes. It would have been better if guide had a buzz tours flag, bag, or shirt at the starting point and kept the tour closer to the listed 3 hour time. "Tim Horton" break near water could be shortened and the St. Lawrence market end point could be a true end point (without much narration). Regardless, this tour is a good one and you'll get your steps, too! Not recommended if you have mobility issues or for young kids.
Our guide, Nick, was wonderful. He really made this experience memorable and informative for us. We have never been to Canada so it was a great way to get familiar with Toronto. I think this is a must for anyone looking to get a good idea of the city. Great value and so much to explore, highly recommend.
This was an excellent and enjoyable introduction to Toronto. Ken, our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and clearly has a love of his city. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if it's your first visit.
Great information and helpful photos about the growth of Toronto and present day use and activities. There is a 10 minute bathroom and drink break in the middle. We were the oldest in our 70's, but able to keep up.
It’s a good way to become acquainted with interesting facts about Toronto and buildings in downtown area. A good basic orientation. Nick was a good guide, very knowledgeable and open to many questions!!!
Very informative. Ken gave great information plus interesting tidbits and recommendations. Lots of steps but reasonable pace.
We absolutely loved this tour! It was a great way to start our stay in Toronto and get oriented to the city. Nick was a fantastic guide! He was so open, friendly and approachable and shared really interesting information about the city without getting bogged down in too much history. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Nick. He did a great job. We covered a lot of ground and he made 3 hours fly by!
Very informative, Jason, our tour guide was absolutely outstanding! Very knowledgeable and communicated very well with everyone in the group of 11. Highly recommend!
Excellent tour made all the more interesting by the very good guide. Covered all the key areas and added all sorts of interesting bits of information as we went along
Good historical background on Toronto and bits and pieces of important facts along the walking route. Good way to get oriented first day in.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour. Jason the Guide was excellent! He was very engaging, funny, interesting and most of all knowledgeable about the City of Toronto. Would highly recommend.
Great overview of Toronto! Nick was a very Knowledgeable guide who speaks very genuinely about the town
Great 3 hour introduction to Toronto, all best to see on foot. Enjoyed "walk of fame", artist studios & glass blowing demonstration, outdoor railroad museum, navigating the PATH (brilliant), & St Lawrence Market.
Great overview of Toronto. Nick was an excellent guide, pointing out all the sights and full of interesting information.
I was the only person for John's tour. He packed a lot of information into a very small amount of time as this tour included an hour boat ride around Toronto's islands and then finished at the CN Tower, where I was able to spend as much time as desired. He was a great presenter and was kind and patient. Thank you.
Nick was a highly informative and enthusiastic guide who obviously loves his city. Well worth the cost but expect a lot of walking
Wonderful tour by Nick….could not have been a better overview of Toronto.
Great introduction to the history of Toronto, our guide Nick was very knowledgeable. Make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes.
Exceptional tour of Toronto! It took us all over the downtown area and gave us a great overview of the city. Our tour guide was excellent-knowledgeable and fun.
Excellent walking tour. Helped us navigate our way around the city for the rest of our stay. Ram was an excellent guide and very informative.
Walking tour where you are on your feet and moving for the entire three hours - bring good walking shoes! Nick was a great guide who was very knowledgeable.
I hadn't been to Toronto in many years so I booked this tour. First let me say our guide Jason, did a great job. He was knowledgeable, informative, and fun! The meeting place was easy to find. The pace of the tour was just right. It was great to see the Toronto sites again and even better hearing background and historical information for each site. We also visited sites that I never knew existed, even though I had spent a lot of time in Toronto previously. The tour ended at the St. Lawrence Market and it seemed like an abrupt ending as we only walked down one aisle. I think it was more me than Jason the guide or the tour, but I would have enjoyed a 15 to 20 minute guided tour of the whole market. Either way we had the opportunity to explore the market at the end of the tour. I highly recommend this tour and Jason made it come to life. I throughly enjoyed this tour. It was a great overview of Toronto.
Interesting and informative! Good balance of history of Toronto with current demographics and lifestyle. Major tourist spots were covered as well as theaters, government buildings, PATH, market, etc, that everyday residents use. I also got a better feel for the layout of the downtown, which helped a lot when I later walked around on my own. I highly recommend!
Friendly, knowledgeable tour guide (Nick) who made everyone feel welcome. He kept us on schedule while also encouraging us to ask questions. Nick showed us a wide range of sights and helped us appreciate Toronto’s history and identity. Excellent tour.
Fantastic tour giving a real flavour of Toronto old and new - Jason was very knowledgeable and made everyone welcome! Highly recommend
Ken gave a great tour, lots of information and anecdotes about Toronto. Very receptive to questions. Very knowledgeable. Fun guy. We strongly recommend this tour.
Excellent way to see a lot and learn alot about Toronto! Our guide Nick was a wealth of information and knew exactly how to keep our small group (love that we were a group of just 9) moving but pausing at just the right spots to learn and appreciate so much about Toronto. Had good tips for other sites/things to do in Toronto. Highly recommend!!!
Nick was pleasant, very knowledgeable, funny and the tour covered a lot of Toronto in 3 hours. Highly recommend Nick!!!
Nick was a great tour guide and made all of us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Even though we walked for about 3 hours I didn't feel tired or exhausted. He gives you a good introduction into the city and also it's history. I will highly recommend as the first tour to do before your trip begins.
Great informative tour. Really great guide, Nick, who was informative land humerous and took time to answer any questions. Was very relaxed tour and saw snd learned about some very interesting things in Toronto we would not of seen without this tour.
Such an informative, interesting, and fun experience! A great way to learn some history and experience a variety of neighborhoods.
Our guide Nick was just excellent! We enjoyed the tour so much and got a sense of the city and the people. Saw so much! Very happy with the tour, highly recommend it!
