Terrific walking tour

Richard_K, Oct 2025
I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. For $8 it was well worth it. The tour took slightly more than two hours, provided lots of interesting information, was easy to follow, had an excellent map feature and overall was a fun way to spend a couple of hours exploring the beautiful Toronto waterfront. Highly recommended!

Perfect Bite Sized Tour

This tour included a lot of information we would not have otherwise known. The fact that we could listen to the tour at our leisure made it perfect to fill in those times between major activities! I would recommend this tour If you like to learn about the place you are visiting.
