Our tour with Marilyn was great! It was just the two of us with her so we were able to ask lots of questions and get a great idea of how it was living in this city. She took us around the downtown showing us the most iconic parts of the city and telling us plenty of different facts about every place. This is a great option for getting a first approach to the city and figuring out your next plans.

Nimesh was a great host. Very knowledgeable and funny at the same time. The sights of the city for so will e not from here was great too. I would definitely book again, as long as I got the same guide. Thank you Nimesh for making the tour so enjoyable!!

An excellent option to get to know Toronto at your own pace. It gives you an overview of the main places and attractions in the city. A totally walkable route with good footwear.

Liked the tour. Informative and helpful guide, Michael. Visited main attractions such as CN tower, city hall, path, and casa Loma. Well worth it!

We actually ended up doing the island tour because the downtown tour was cancelled. Our guide Terrance was amazing.
