This was exactly what we were looking for in a tour of Toronto! Leo was prompt, professional, pleasant, and extremely knowledgeable about the city. Can’t imagine you would find a better tour guide. The tour is great if you want to hit the highlights and learn something about the city without killing a whole day. We highly recommend this tour!

Leo is fantastic!

Kristina_P, Apr 2026
Leo was the perfect person to guide our small group of friends through Toronto on a very cold and windy day in the city! He did a great balance of switching between above ground and underground for warmth, and there were never long sprints of walking. We felt like he gave us a lot of info without being overwhelming, and he told us great stories that some other friends in Toronto hadn't heard. However, he really went above and beyond with service when he texted me the morning of my reservation to let me know that because of the Easter holiday, many sites would be closed that day, and if we were open to it, he would change our tour to the following day to get the full impact of the tour. We rearranged our plans easily, and were so happy to fully experience Toronto like a local the following day. Throughout the rest of our trip, my friends and I often referenced Leo and the stories he told us. What a memorable experience at a great price!

Great Tour

Steve_G, Sep 2025
Even-though it rained ( a biblical Downpour) our guide still made the walking tour fun , utilising the “Path” to keep us dry and away from the elements, our guide was enthusiastic and had lots of interesting facts about the city and the mix of old and modern buildings. Highly recommended to see the city, a great way to spend two hours

Easy laidback wander through Toronto

Our guide Leo was excellent! Very animated and enthusiastic. The tour covered a variety of donwtown locations, with both historical and modern spots. It's an easy walk. The St. Lawrence Market is a must-see with fantastic local food vendors and imported exotic items as well. All in all a great tour, not too long, gave a good snapshot of the lower downtown.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you. It was very nice having you on the tour and we are glad you enjoyed it. Best regards,

Tour cancelled same day

Kristen_W, May 2025
Our tour was cancelled via email at 6:29am on the day of our 10am walking tour. I didn’t check my email that morning so we ended up walking there for it. Luckily, we came up w a plan B and rode the double decker sightseeing bus, which was great.

Response from Host, May 2025

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the last-minute cancellation of your tour. We understand how disappointing and frustrating this must have been. Unfortunately, our tour guide on duty experienced a medical issue the night before and was not in a condition to safely run this experience. We truly understand the negative review, but we had to prioritize the health of all our travellers. Best regards,

Downtown Toronto explored

juliet_t, May 2025
Leo was a wonderful tour guide. He explained history, facts, past and present details about the places we’ve been to in downtown Toronto. We enjoyed our walking tour.

Cameron_F, Mar 2025
There were a lot of cancellations so we got our own little private tour kind of tailored to us. Leo was very knowledgeable and friendly and we got to see and hear about some different things that he doesn’t tell other tours. As big hockey fans, he tailored it around that and told us about some historic sites to check out if we had time. Highly recommend!

Response from Host, May 2025

Hockey fans are definitely a good thing in our books! Thank you so much for your kind words and great review. Go Leafs! 😀

Leo was a great tour...

Arielle_R, Mar 2025
Leo was a great tour guide! Definitely recommend this tour for solo travelers and families, the walking is just the right amount with plenty of stops for breaks and going indoors.

Response from Host, May 2025

Thank you for the review! It was so nice to having you and have a good impression of our city. Best regards,

Professional and kind!

Krysta_F, Dec 2024
Leo was very accommodating and willing to change our date to a time when it wasn’t raining. He also knows the city very well, able to traverse the underground PATH with us to keep us warm on a blistering cold day, which wasn’t originally planned but definitely welcomed this day.

Excellent
