    Wow -- Food Tour offers much more than just Food!
    I took a group of graduate students from the University of Guelph on a food tour of Kensington Market and Chinatown. The tour was soooo much more than food-- Jason shared insights into history, immigrant populations, diversity, culture-- while we ate our way through the neighbourhoods. Highly recommend -- Jason was great to work with and it was easy to book. I will definitely be back with another group and my family, too.

    Heroes and Villians Tour Toronto
    As a birthday gift from my son, we were treated to the Tour Guys "Heroes and Villains Tour" of downtown Toronto, centred around Queen's Park (appropriate!) and hosted by Neil. He was excellent. We've lived most of our lives in Toronto and still learned new stories and discovered new places. The conversation was engaging and the delivery entertaining. Contemporary themes and context. Highly recommended.

    Get some Toronto history and see gorgeous churches and other sights.
    Got lucky! We visited on a national holiday, so just me and my teenage daughter got to tour the city with Kieran. Really enjoyed our guide’s stories and insights, and got a list of recommended restaurants and attractions at the end. Nice bonus! One note: St. Lawrence market is closed on Mondays, and we were here on Monday. Bummer! Because that’s right where the tour ends. Try and book this a different day of the week, because the market would be a perfect next stop!

    So-so experience, it was on time and he did his best
    I want more depth or interesting nuances and felt those were lacking. His walking pace was fine for us but difficult for him. He doused his head in water on a "not hot day" and looked terrible. I wouldn't go with that group again.

    A great experience for a great price!
    Robert was not your every day tour guide. He travelled quite a bit and it was apparent that he was knowledgeable in world history and art. He was able to connect news events with many of artist’s work in the alley. This tour was interesting. We will never look at graffiti the same again!

    Great walking tour delving into some of Toronto's history
    Great walking tour provided by Jennifer at an incredibly reasonable price. Started at Old City Hall and walked through various districts stopping at key buildings and churches to discover some of Toronto's history. Ended at St Lawrence Market, which is worth a visit itself to see all the fresh produce available. It's definitely worth the money and good to get a better understanding of the city's history.

    Awesome graffiti tour in Toronto
    I had a great time on the graffiti tour in Toronto with Jennifer. As someone with zero experience in graffiti, I wasn't sure what to expect on the tour. However, Jennifer’s engaging personality and welcoming approach makes it accessible to anyone, regardless of their prior knowledge of street art. She effortlessly shared her deep knowledge and passion for graffiti and street art, and shared insightful stories about the artists, their techniques, and the cultural significance of the pieces we encountered. Jennifer’s enthusiasm is infectious, and her insights added depth and meaning to every piece we encountered. Highly recommended!

    A Great Look Around Old Toronto
    Friends recommended this tour for us. Have been to Toronto several times and enjoy walking the city. This Old Town Toronto History Tour with Kieran was excellent. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. The dark history information was incredible and moving forward in some areas pleasing. If you like walking cities this tour is a must.

    Great intro to some history and sights
    I did the Villains tour with Neil and it was great. Very knowledgeable, friendly, and he obviously enjoyed touring. Should be more popular than it is. I suppose the benefit of it being a bit of a hidden gem is you end up getting a private tour for group tour money

Our tour guide, Brie was really funny and energetic. Told us a few ghost stories and rumors then pointed out the contradictions and logic.
