Amazing tour in Spanish. Roger waited for us when we were a few minutes late. I left my wallet in his car, a few minutes later, he returned it . So honest.

Peter was great!

Kim_W, Nov 2024

Peter took my husband and I on a 2 hr city tour of Toronto. He was timely, friendly, knowledgeable , and provided refreshments. His van was clean and the route (despite heavy Taylor Swift concert traffic all around the city) was comfortable, informative and helped us get a good sense of culture, community, and places to visit afterwards! Definitely recommend!

Dear valued guest, Thank you for sharing your fantastic experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that Peter provided a timely, friendly, and knowledgeable tour, complete with refreshments and a clean, comfortable van.

Good way to get an overview of the city

Lori_H, Jul 2024

The Grey Line tour was a great way to get an overview of the history of Toronto while seeing much of the downtown core in a short time. The two hours was well organized. Our guide, Victoria, is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. We have lived in Toronto a long time and brought out of town guests - we all learned something about the city! We enjoyed the stop and brief walk in the Distillery District, and perhaps another chance to get off the bus would have been nice, but the traffic on a Saturday afternoon likely made that difficult.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

Dear valued guest, Thank you for your review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Grey Line tour and found it to be a great way to learn about the history of Toronto while exploring the downtown core. It's wonderful that Victoria was able to provide you with insightful answers and enhance your experience. We appreciate your feedback about the stops; we always strive to balance informative stops with the practicalities of city traffic, especially on busy weekends. We hope to welcome you and your guests on another tour soon! Kind regards, Stephanie

Two hours with an experienced guide (Eduardo) and driver (Ugo) - easiest way to see a lot

Susanna_R, May 2024

Eduardo’s stories while pointing out the buildings and sites not to miss exceeded our expectations. The bus tour with narration was much better than trying to walk, look and figure things out. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Dear valued guest, Thank you so much for taking the time and share this wonderful feedback with us. We will make sure to pass on your kind comments to Eduardo. We look forward to hopefully welcome you back for another tour in the future. Kind regards, Stephanie
