Kinda boring

Michael_O, Sep 2025

Don’t bother. Not that interesting. Spend your money on a more interesting tour. Go to a Blue Jays game or shop.

Fantastic tour!

Jacquie_V, Oct 2024

Fantastic Tour! Lucky for us the tour ran even if there was only two of us. Mike our guide had a wealth of knowledge since he works/ed in the industry. It was a great way to spend part of our day. Great to see some of the spots we often see on a screen in person instead. Addition of the video clips was a nice touch. Definitely worth a try!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and appreciated the chance to see iconic filming locations in person. It’s great to hear the video clips added to the experience. Thanks for joining us and recommending the tour!

Hollywood North Experience

Ying_Z, Aug 2024

Our tour guide Jacqueline was wonderful! She has extensive experience in the entertainment industry and she is full of stories and anecdotes. My husband and I live in Toronto but we feel like we have learned a lot from Jacqueline on the history of the downtown. We highly recommend this tour to others.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your lovely review! We’re thrilled you and your husband enjoyed the tour and discovered new insights about downtown Toronto. It’s always great to hear when locals learn something new. Thanks so much for recommending us!

Excellent Tour/Terrific Guide!

Linda_S, Jul 2024

As we were the only ones to sign up for that particular tour, we received the full attention of our host, Jacqueline, who regaled us with tons of information on film sites and the architecture of Toronto. We enjoyed talking with her and she was friendly, informative and fun! This is a "must-see" tour for film buffs, but actually anyone will enjoy it!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you had a fun and informative experience. It’s always exciting to share the stories behind Toronto’s film sites and iconic landmarks. Thanks for recommending us!

Great guide and your

Georgette_K, Oct 2023

The guide, Jacqueline, was so personable and energetic with fascinating real life anecdotes. We felt like we had 3 tours in one with the Hollywood North portion as well as a city tour and even some ghost stories. The time flew by as with travelled around the downtown area. All in all a great value and enjoyable tour.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks for the glowing review! We are glad that you had a nice time with our great guide and enjoyed the various aspects of our tour. Safe travels and we hope to see you again on another one of our tours!

Walk, stop, watch clips with an excentrique guide

Magali_C, Oct 2023

Our guide was very passionate, it showed she loved the movie industry. Learned a lot. The clips are sometimes long to watch, just standing on the street watching numerous movie clips, so maybe just some images printed out from the movie scenes would have been enough, but other than that it was extremely interesting.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks for the feedback and sharing your experience. We continue to appreciate this feedback and grow our tour and are happy to hear that you enjoyed your time with us. Thanks and safe travels!

Really enjoyed the tour...

Steve_B, Sep 2023

Really enjoyed the tour and the guide was excellent. Say some wonderful places where shows were shot.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thanks so much Steve! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us and your guide. Safe travels and we hope to see you on another one of our film tours in the future in Toronto or Vancouver.

Good tour - hope you like Suits (I don't).

Sophia_C, Sep 2023

The tour guide talked a lot about her own career as an actress and seemed a little bitter about not being famous... If you don't watch Suits, there's not a lot here. All the other stuff was very good.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thanks so much for sharing! We pride ourselves in our tour and experiences shared in the industry. We are sorry that you hadn't seen Suits, but hope you were able to enjoy the clips from all the other productions and locations used in the city as well as the history. Safe travels and thanks for supporting our business!

Phenomenal, Above & Beyond

Sarah_V, Aug 2023

This tour was the best, and given by a very very experienced actor (as she mentioned 125 times throughout the tour). Jackie made sure to make it as custom as possible, highlighting our interests as much as she could. She also peppered in general facts about Toronto and fascinating architectural details that I definitely would have missed. I only wished we had spent more time on the star walk - which I had no idea was there until she pointed it out! (But you can easily check it out on your own.) Would recommend, 100%.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Haha thank you! Jacqueline loves this industry and our city and we are so glad that you enjoyed your time with her. Thanks for sharing your experience and helping our tour grow.

Highly Recommend

Jozelle_L, Aug 2023

Thoughtful, organized, and full of fun factoids. You can tell Jacqueline cared about her guests having a wonderful experience. Highly recommend her and this tour!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

So glad that you enjoyed your experience with Jacqueline. She truly is passionate about the industry and our city. Safe travels and hope to see you again. :)

Instead of the usual tour stops.

LoraJane_R, Jul 2023

Loved this tour! I learned I don't watch as much TV and film as I thought, however I still recognized MANY locations from the stuff I have seen. The guide showed clips on the tablet in locations for us to see how the film shots were done, and often gave "insider" info. Jacqueline is a working actor and told great stories about being on set in some of the productions. This was our first tour of the trip, and it gave us an excellent orientation in the area of the walking tour. I loved it, and I recommend it, even if you don't watch a ton of shows. Because, you can always Google the history of Toronto if you really want to know more about a particular building. This tour was perfect for us and Jacqueline was an excellent guide!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We are so glad that you were able to see many of the locations and shows you've seen utilize them. Thanks for sharing your experience and helping our new business grow. Safe travels and hope to see you again in Toronto or Vancouver!

Loved seeing films and locations with a knowledgeable guide

Lisa_P, May 2023

I loved seeing scenes from films/tv shows and the locations they were shot at. My guide was so knowledgeable about films, locations, the city, and the film industry in Toronto. Heartily recommend!
