Toronto Walking Tour with Nick

Marc_S, Oct 2023

Nick was a fabulous tour guide! You could tell his passion and knowledge of the city really shine through. He made it fun for everyone on the tour and was really fun to talk with while traversing to our next location. His presentation was top notch! Exploring the city with him is a must. My wife and I had a great time learning about and absorbing information in the beginning part of our trip with this tour. This tour is a must if traveling to Toronto. It's an amazing city with a ton of very interesting world history. Ask for Nick and you will have the best time!

Great tour to learn and see iconic buildings of downtown Toronto

Bill_G, Oct 2023

Having lived here for many years never had the chance to learn about downtown Toronto. In the tour we learned about the history and growth of Toronto in the last 50 years, the background to some of the iconic buildings of downtown Toronto, the underground Path linking multiple sections of downtown, Toronto Harbour, etc. As a bonus if you are into photography this is a great opportunity for street photography. Highly recommended .

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Walking tour starts in the Entertainment District & finishes at Kensington Market

Ann_C, Oct 2023

This walking tour of Toronto provided a wonderful introduction to the downtown part of Toronto. I loved the variety of places, buildings and views which were included in the walking tour. The history came alive due to the guides broad knowledge of the places, and his collection of A4 photos. I would totally recommend this walking tour to visitors and people who have recently arrived in Toronto.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks very much for your review. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the many different places along the tour. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in the city.
