Top Toronto Walking Tours

The guide was Felipe, Chilean, who showed many interesting things. What I didn't like was the fact that he stipulated the amount he expected to receive (30 Canadian dollars) before the tour started. From what I understand, and in all the various free tours I've done in various countries, the passenger evaluates at the end and determines the amount to pay. I paid this amount at the end of the tour, even knowing that it was much higher than normally charged ($15 to $20), because he warned me beforehand and I agreed to do it because I wouldn't have another option for date/time. But in summary, his tour wasn't worth the 30 Canadian dollars.

This tour was exactly the right length of time and our guide, Suresh, was excellent - making sure we had enough time to see everything without feeling rushed. We were picked up at 12.20pm in Toronto downtown. The coach was full, but with about passengers only. It was clean and modern. We stopped at a maple syrup and chocolate factory for a complimentary tasting "flight", which was interesting and tasty with no pressurised selling techniques. Then we headed to Niagara Falls for the Maid of the Mist and Behind the Falls experiences. Both had skip the queue entry, so no long waits.....we were straight in to both attractions. Be prepared to get wet, as the Niagara ponchos aren't up to much - we took waterproof trousers and jackets and stayed nice and dry! The free time in Niagara was a couple of hours, but we filled it easily by looking around the shops and attractions and gazing at the illuminated falls after dark. Then we were driven straight back to Toronto and arrived at about 10.15pm with smiles on our faces after such a fabulous day out.

It was a brilliant trip! Very well organized. Suresh was a fabulous tour guide and coach driver. Really appreciated his driving, all very smooth. He gave great commentary, facts and good vibes the whole way. He was incredibly kind with his time and escorted my mum and I to the ticket barriers on one of the sights. He went above and beyond, and we were very grateful. No words to describe the actual sight of Niagara Falls. If you can, do the boat, journey behind the falls and the tower. It is 100% worth it. Couldn't recommend this enough!!!
