“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.
