Dave was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer all our questions. He was flexible and allowed us extra time where something was extra interesting. He listened to what the group wanted and adjusted the tour to suit his guest’s preferences. Dave gave an excellent introduction to Toronto and it really was a pleasure spending time with him. We would definitely recommend to others. Thanks Dave!

An outstanding tour of the PATH network. Truly brilliant and loved every minute of it. Dave is passionate about Toronto and its history and this is incredibly clear throughout the tour. A must for those who wish to learn more about Toronto.
Good tour. Very knowledgeable about the city. Answered all my questions, which I usually have many. Was waiting in the great hall station, not knowing the guide was there as well. Maybe a hat or flag that states tour guide
Jason was well prepared and genuinely liked giving the tour. He liked questions and wanted more that challenged him.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Toronto. Great value for money.
Fast paced walking is pretty much needed to complete this tour in the allotted time. Very informative.
Dave gave us a great overview and quick tour of the the PATH. He helped with explaining how to navigate the system without getting lost. You definitely want to use the PATH is you're in downtown Toronto during the Winter. Also, there are some nice food courts along the way.
My husband and I were extremely lucky to get Dave to ourselves on this walk. He had a great knowledge of the city and it's history. The PATH is something of a 'rabbit warren', but Dave navigated it with no problem at all. A very enjoyable walk, and would recommend it if you want to know about the PATH.
It is a good way to get an idea about what is contained within the underground Toronto network. It also teaches you how to navigate it. Filled with shops snd food courts, it allows you to move, shop snd eat without being exposed to the cold weather or rain. The guide is knowledgeable about the city history. I recommend it.
Very disappointed, we arrived in plenty of time, as requested, but our tour guide was a no show, total waste of our time.
There is quite a bit of walking up and down pathways and stairs but the pace is comfortable. Most of the walk was inside so ideal for a day which could be wet or miserable. Dave, the tour guide, was excellent and very knowledgeable of his city of Toronto
I received a reminder text from the operator the day before my tour, but absolutely nothing the day of. We were to meet at Union Station, but the operator gave me no information on how to find them or where specifically to meet We walked through Union Station, but since there were hundreds of people, there was no way to know who we were searching for. Very, very disappointed in missing the PATH tour, and irritated at losing my money.
We had an amazing tour with Dave. We learned so much about the PATH and were able to go back and walk it by ourselves.
So good! Very informative, lots of history. Be prepared to walk a lot, but it is mostly out of the elemnts
Very knowledgeable and kind host. He knew a lot of Toronto history. He included every one in conversation. Thank you
Dave was very informative and interesting. We were there as a family with two kids, and we all really enjoyed it. A great way to learn about Toronto and in particular the history of the PATH.
We learned a lot. I am a native Torontonian. The pace was perfect. our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. Recommended.
It is an intriguing underground system under a big City. Lots of multicultural restaurants and a variety of stores. Going up the stairs you are going North and down South. A few different levels. This would be super helpful in the Winter.
Very interesting walking tour of The Path, Toronto’s underground city with stops above ground to see important landmarks. Dave the guide was very knowledgeable about the city and gave detailed answers to my questions. A thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours getting to understand the history of Key Toronto sites and why Toronto is where it is today.
Had a great tour with Dave. Dave was likeable and informative with plenty of knowledge to share. The pace of the tour was just right and the whole experience was very enjoyable.
We had a fascinating tour of the underground PATH system, a network of walkways connecting most downtown buildings. We were surprised by the dozens of concourses, food courts and shopping areas in this underground maze. Our guide gave us helpful hints on how to navigate and not get lost. No matter what the weather this is the place to go to find food and shops that are not on the streets above.
We all found the PATH tour very interesting thanks to our extremely knowledgeable tour guide Ram. Would definitely recommend
Ram was an excellent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide and covered every aspect of the area we visited. Very enjoyable.
Our guide, Ram, was terrific. He was very thorough and we learned a lot about the underground city in Toronto. I would recommend this tour.
We learned so much while having a great time with Nick our tour guide! He was knowledgeable and very interesting to talk with. Everyone had a great time. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in getting to know the city and some of what makes Toronto so special! Thank you Nick for showing us around.
This tour was so much fun! Our tour guide, Dave, was so knowledgeable about the tour and the city’s history and shared so many interesting details along the tour. The PATH was unlike anything we had ever visited, and was really neat to explore. The guide encourages conversation between all of the guests, and we got to chat with some great people! Definitely a fun way to spend 2 hours while exploring the city.
First time in Toronto and so glad we took the tour with Dave our guide. Learned so much about the history of Toronto and how to get around. Learning about the history of the buildings around the was very interesting. Would definitely recommend putting this on your to do list.
I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour of the Path. Dave was knowledgeable, engaging, and provided fascinating insights into the history and culture of the underground path and surrounding landmarks. I am looking forward to taking his outside tour in the summer. Highly recommend!
Dave, was informative, personable and easy to relate to. Sharing his experiences, of life in the Toronto area. Take the underground tour it is worth it! thank you Dave.
Dave was an excellent guide and we got a private tour because we visited Toronto in February the day after a big snowstorm. We really appreciated the big reference cards he used throughout the tour. Also, plenty of opportunities for photos, as you can see. At the end of the tour, which Dave extended to Eaton Centre for just us, he asked if we'd learned anything. I learned about Quebec nearly seceding and being saved by hockey. I learned about the gold-plated bank building. I learned about the Maple Leafs buying the Raptors. Great tour, well worth the money. No pressure for tips at any point.
We enjoyed the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the tour was interesting! It’s a great winter tour because you spend the majority of the tour inside!!
Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned so much about the PATH. Definitely recommend this tour!
Fun, knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide who clearly loves Toronto! Very responsive to all questions. No downside
I took the PATH walk with Dave and really enjoyed the tour - Dave is very personable and provided an excellent overview not only with respect to the origins of the PATH project but also how it impacts the everyday life of the local people who use it. Dave is an experienced tour-guide who is sincere and able to answer all possible questions about life in Toronto. Overall, it was time well spent and I highly recommend this tour to anybody who wants to experience Toronto up close and personal.
We're so glad we took this tour. Dave is a great guide… he knows a lot, keeps things moving, tries to get everyone involved, yet never pressed people too much. We learned a ton about the city and how the PATH system works, the latter of which will bring us back to Toronto to explore even in winter (something we wouldn't have considered previously due to their extreme temps). Be sure to wear comfy shoes and fuel up before you go. Also recommend that you bring a bottle of water. It's not that you walk so crazy far (it's probably a few miles), but most of it is on concrete, so just plan for that.
They really do exist, I didn't want to believe it either, but back home on the net I read about them, and on our tour we came across them by chance. It was great to see what it looked like there. Yeah, everybody means good business is everywhere. Right, but when it gets too cold upstairs, people move everyday life underground, that's what's fascinating. It was really fun to walk through.
