This was a lovely experience. A great way to see the area with quick stops at the market, CN Tower, and a fun boat ride at the end. We really enjoyed it. The vehicle was comfortable and the guide was very nice.

Itinerary
Your guide will provide you with a narrated driving tour through the city where you’ll pass by multiple points of interest including Dundas Square, Queen’s Park and Nathan Phillips Square. At Nathan Phillips Square you’ll have a chance to take a picture with the famous “Toronto” sign and learn about the PATH beneath the city.
Pass by the historic Old City Hall, a beautiful Romanesque-style building dating back to the late 1800s. Admire its iconic clock tower and intricate stonework as your guide shares stories from Toronto’s early days.
Drive through the picturesque campus of the University of Toronto, one of Canada’s top institutions. Enjoy views of its mix of historic and modern architecture while learning about its global reputation and notable alumni.
Pass through Sankofa Square, a lively downtown gathering place known for its bright digital billboards, events, and energetic city atmosphere—often compared to Times Square in New York.
Pass by Nathan Phillips Square, Toronto’s iconic civic gathering space in front of City Hall. Known for its reflecting pool, seasonal events, and the famous Toronto sign, it’s a vibrant hub in the heart of downtown.
The first stop on the tour is at the city's iconic CN Tower where you will be whisked up the glass elevator to the tower's observation deck where you will enjoy a panoramic view of the cityscape from the LookOut Level. Feel the breeze at 342m in the air on the outdoor terrace and take a walk on the glass floor - which was the first in the world in 1994 when it opened!
Pass through Toronto’s lively Entertainment District, home to theatres, restaurants, and nightlife hotspots. This vibrant area comes alive in the evening and is a hub for concerts, shows, and cultural events.
Drive through the bustling Financial District, the heart of Canada’s business and banking sector. Admire the towering skyscrapers and sleek architecture that define Toronto’s modern skyline.
Pass by Market Square, a charming public space in the historic St. Lawrence neighbourhood. Surrounded by heritage buildings, it reflects Toronto’s rich past and vibrant local culture.
St. Lawrence Market has been named as the top food market in the world by National Geographic. You will have some free time here to do some shopping or get something to eat.

It was a wonderful experience. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and we also enjoyed the Harbour Tour immensely.
Anjo did a great job on our tour, it was worth the money to have someone show us around, explain the sites, have great access to the CN tower & boat cruise, and more. We appreciated her knowledge & personality.
Our guide, Caesar, picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the various sites. He was very personable and was able to tailor his comments to align with our interests, making recommendations along the way. We learned a lot and were able to experience the highlights of Toronto in about 4 1/2 hours. I would recommend this tour for anyone interested in seeing Toronto in a single day.
Great trip, V was such a lovely guy and a great tour guide, plenty of time at the CN tower, the market was closing so he took us to the distillery district instead, thoroughly enjoyed the boat trip, was great doing it just before the sunset for the view..I'd highly recommend
This was the perfect way to see Toronto when you are only here for a short time, or to get your bearings if you want to get to know the city and hit the highlights. Nafsika was very knowledgeable and personable. It was the perfect mix of her sharing expertise and also having some time to explore a few places and meet back up. She even recommended a great place for dinner near my hotel.
This was a perfect tour!!! It ran smoothly, our guides were friendly and is exactly what I would have wanted to do if I was doing it on my own.
Oliver was our guide and he was absolutely delightful. He was engaging and knowledgeable and our tour fun. Captain Abeen safely and smoothly navigated us through Lake Ontario.
It was a great experience and the tour guide was fantastic! Anjo took her time to explain everything and give us enough time to visit each site with a bit of history behind it..
Great tour that allows you to see multiple sites without having to worry about transportation to each one. The guide was great! :)
My friends had Tatvesh Shah as their guide and were full of praises for him. My friends were visiting Toronto for the first time and Tatvesh showed them around and explained everything very clearly. They were delighted to have Tatvesh as their guide. Thank you Tatvesh Shah!
This was a great tour, thoroughly enjoyable and worth every penny. Anjo our guide was very cool and knew what she was doing
You can get to know the area and the people you're with and very interesting stories behind the area
Book this online and it said they didn’t pick up at our hotel so we spent a lot of time trying to figure out where did pick up and how much taxi would cost and all kinds of things but then we had to actually call them for another issue and found out that they did pick up at our hotel so was stressful and didn’t need to be something needs to be fixed
Food was awful. Freezer burnt taste on the dessert (carrot cake) the salmon was tasteless and the capers on top must have been put under a heating lamp or something resulting in them having no taste and rock hard. The boat was nice but the experience was underwhelming at best.
A varied experience. CN tower was awesome and the harbour cruise was beautiful and gave a fabulous vista on the city. Guide was very informative, friendly and obliging.
Terrific trip with 4 stops at 4 iconic Toronto destinations. Loved the CN tower, the city hall park and the market. The harbor cruise was so, so. And best of all was our guide, Noah.
This is a great overview of the city with a stop at the CN tower plus a harbor cruise. Noah was our tour guide and he was great! Very attentive to all our needs. Enjoyed having the small group. Highly recommend.
Great half day tour with a local knowledgeable guide. Includes a tour of the city and an hours boat trip plus a visit to the top of the CN Tour. Great experience and value!
Great tour. Well informative and being in a small group was really nice. Didn’t feel rushed. Great way to see the city
Our wonderful guide Dan promptly picked us up right at our hotel, Radisson Blu on the harbor in his very comfortable Mercedes van before picking up one other sweet couple. Our 1st stop was going up the CN tower followed by a boat cruise around the islands & harbor. Then Dan took us all around the whole city in & out of traffic driving so safely & patient keeping us informed of everything we passed. His wit, kindness & sense of humor added so much JOY to our experience! Thank you so much Dan & Viator tours. We always have great experience's when we book with you when we travel especially John in Arizona taking us to Antelope canyon & Horseshoe Bend which I never got a chance to review.
Hits the city’s highlights with some history and explanations to go along with them allowing for increased understanding. The tour gives a great overview of the city and provides options for more things to do if you have a few more days after. Daniel was great!!
Loved this tour! It was very comprehensive and gave us a wonderful view of the city and its neighborhoods. Loved the view of the city from the CN Tower! Also enjoyed the boat cruise! Highly recommend!
Really good trip. Guide Amir was great! The boat guide Francisco was very entertaining. Had some confusion with pick up point as hotel had 3 entrances, Amir rang and met us in the lobby. Really helpful.
Good way to see the majority of the city and all the various districts. CN tower is amazing and boat trip was very relaxing with great views of Toronto.
Perfect way to see parts of Toronto from the ground, the CN tower, and by the lake! Views were amazing!
Noah was fantastIc... a young man with passion and knowledge. We knew we were well taken care of at every stop; he would be waiting exactly where and when we had been told. As a grandmother, I'd be proud to have a grandson like Noah!
Grayson, our guide picked us up at our hotel in a minibus. He texted to tell us he was only minutes away, which we thought was a great touch. He was interesting and engaging from the start and we had a great half day with him and the other couple on the tour. Unfortunately they managed to lose one another at the CN Tower but Grayson calmly rearranged our boat trip for a slightly later slot and went to find them, it was all very smoothly done and he didn’t get mad with them for being late. He handled it excellently. A really good way to get an overview of the city.
Great stops on the tour. The tour guide shared lots of information and history of the area. It was well worth the money
Wonderful small group in a luxury van. Cezar was able to give us a personalized experience. We saw a major portion of downtown and the harbor. We skipped all lines at the CNN tower, and boat cruise. It was a very enjoyable tour.
Only gave 1* cause 0 wasn't an option. Guide was 10 mins late picking up. Drove straight to cn tower no commentary or very very little. Lines were super long so only spent 10 mins at top. No time to spend at gift shop. Waited extra 40 mins for a couple that was late coming back. Drove straight to boat ride, again very little commentary. Boat cruise was only part worth it. When got back guide was gone. Left "sick". Only found replacement guide cause someone called the company. Drove back to drop everyone off. Never did any of of other sights and saw nothing. Would recommend hop on and off trolly tour instead.
Daniel was an outstanding tour guide. Give him a raise!
It was a great tour, just the right length, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Just a great way to see the key areas and sights in Toronto
We really enjoyed the tour, it was the highlight of our trip! It was a great way to see a lot of the city in a short amount of of time, especially as we had a broad range of ages and mobility needs within our family. Our guide Nafsika looked after us so well and shared fun and interesting information throughout the tour.
We had a excellent first class experience with the van tour in Toronto! Our tour guide and Driver Grayson was so responsive, friendly, and informative during the entire tour. We were able to see and to enter all of the big tourist sites in Toronto without waiting in any lines or any stress. Grayson was fantastic and getting us to and from our hotel and we were fortunate enough to have just my wife and I on this particular tour so it was like a luxury private experience. Highly recommend.
What a great trip. Noah was our guide and he was an excellent host with so much knowledge and made it a fun trip.
Good way to catch the highlights of the city. The boat tour was interesting and we caught some great views of Toronto.
Good communication exactly what we were expecting, perfect. Our guide was wonderful Attentive to detail. Only recommendation , if guide would point out bathrooms on stops
Excellent tour gives up great appreciation of the city and its numerous cultures along with a great understanding of finding your way around ,Ehsaam was a really professional and interesting great knowledge
Last week my wife and I booked a tour with this company and had a wonderful experience! Nathan was high-energy and made this a surreal experience. Although the CN Tower was amazing, the best part was the fun and insightful commentary of the city.
Excellent Tour! Noah was the best tour guide ever! Thanks Noah!!
We like the tour and the stops of the tour! Maybe be if they add more history will be grate !
Very interesting history. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Enjoyed the tour very much.
Such an excellent tour! We were able to see amazing sites in Toronto in a short amount of time. Noah was an excellent guide!!
Great tour. Small group allowed for a more personalized experience. Grayson was a fabulous guide! Excellent value for the price too.
Really good introduction to Toronto trip. Seeing all the main attractions and the tickets to the CN Tower being included was an essential. Guide was very it knowledgeable and was also able to suggest things to do in the coming days
Fantastic! I read another person’s review to book this on arrival so you know what to see next during your time in Toronto. Best advice! Lived our tour guide Noah. He was gracious, funny, informative, patient, and clear with instructions. The tour was a small group didn’t feel rushed (though we had Rush fans with us!) Highly recommended!
Noah was extremely helpful and entertaining! He really took care with every single guest. He also gave us the freedom we needed to be able to explore on our own. We truly appreciated him and his talents.
Anju was a wonderful tour guide! She was very down to earth and was able to navigate the crazy streets and park on a dime! She gave us clear instructions and lots of interesting tips about the city. This is a great tour to start your time in Toronto. It gave us a lot of options the next day to explore! Well worth the money.
This was a great tour, the guide was very helpful, pleasant and informative. after the tour she helped us book a water taxi to the islands and gave us advice on things to do.
