Toronto Tour Reviews

“Exploring downtown Toronto”
Ryan gave us an excellent tour covering downtown development and history. We also went into a number of neighborhoods. He answered our many questions and also provided information about his own life growing up in Toronto. He took us on the tram, through the PATH, into a local restaurant for lunch and down many sidewalks. I would certainly recommend his tour!

Hello Betsy Thank you for the great review, and happy to hear how much you enjoyed the Path and using our transit TTC. I remember you are going to Malta, the pizza place in Gozo you should go to is called Maxokk Bakery on St. James street In=Nahur

“Day tour of downtown Toronto ”
Varol met us promptly at 10 am at our hotel and returned us at 4 pm. He was always polite and friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the city - its history, facts, culture, politics and the geography of navigating through the city traffic. He is an excellent driver, maintaining good road focus while also talking about everything around us and answering our silly questions. We stopped several times to visit local sites. Once he guided us around to point out features, otherwise he described what we would see and waited with the car for our text that we were returning. I highly recommend Varol for this fun tour.
