Wonderful day at the AGO! We arrived to a lineup but with the voucher, we were fortunate to beat the line and have our tickets printed by a very nice gentleman at the kiosk. Pleasant atmosphere and very accommodating staff (we got lost one time but were guided back into the right direction!). Great time!!!

Great guide Roydon, very knowledgeable, and friendly. Finished our tour even though we had to sit in a coffee shop for about half an hour due totorrential rain!!

Get Your Guide it was great, it showed me some good places to go in Toronto and I loved the experience. I will definitely use it on my next trips.

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

Great tour, a lot of backround information, amazing snacks…
