Our tour ended up just being our own group and felt like we were on a private experience which elevated the whole affair. Even though we did have two locals with us, they had not visited any of the sites that we went to so it was a new and wonderful experience for all. The restaurants we visited were excellent with plenty of seating and no waits. The tour felt like it was a well-oiled production and Jessica seemed to be familiar with the staff at each location. Another bonus was that she set the pacing exactly to our needs when accounting for the inclusion of a 2-year old. This was an awesome way to learn about the culinary scene and its integration with the history of Toronto, which also made the tour more interesting and educational. We had not known that Toronto was such an eclectic food scene, but after the tour could definitely see why it is such a competitive place to open a restaurant. Jessica was an awesome guide and a generally fun person to hang out with. We bonded over our love not only of food but of travel and swapped stories about various places we had been. Interestingly, she was able to make a recommendation for an upcoming trip that we were taking to Austin, Texas about another (unrelated) food tour which we actually did end up booking and was also awesome. She also provided some additional recommendations for more places in Toronto for our group to visit during the trip which was very appreciated! Overall, I would highly recommend this food tour and specifically our guide Jessica to anyone looking to explore the Toronto food scene in more depth and detail!

One heads up...the stairs down into the main seating area are extremely steep. It's only a few, and the railings are sturdy, but for someone with balance or mobility challenges this could be hard. It might be worth calling ahead to see if space on the small back upper level is prioritized for those who can't navigate the stairs.

My husband and I had 24 hours to make the most of our trip, and opting for Guided Toronto was the…read morebest choice we could have made. From booking the tour up until the meet up, everything was coordinated and communicated efficiently. We chose the free walking guided tour: ARTS, FOOD, CULTURE. And yes, you read that correctly, it was FREE! Gaby, our guide, was on time and had great energy from the start. Upon meeting her we knew we were in good hands. She was super knowledgeable and we learned a lot of historical facts. She walked us through a lot of sites off the beaten path as well as iconic landmarks. Overall it is a 2 hour walking adventure so be sure to wear comfy shoes and bring water! Of note, this tour is rain or shine. It happened to be torrentially raining the morning of our tour. But sure enough, Gaby reached out to ensure that the tour would go on. Luckily the day cleared up and we were able to explore the sites as planned. We would highly recommend choosing Guided Toronto if you're looking for a real and fun way to explore the city. It truly was a memorable experience. PS: This particular tour is F R E E. Be a decent human being and leave your guide a tip.

Though I ended- up as only person confirmed for the day, she turned up in scheduled time and not at all reluctant to give a private tour to my full expectations. Thanks and Best luck Gaby for your endeavours and hope to see you back sometime again as Toronto and your familarity with it has so much more to offer. Ranjan

Our tour guide (we forgot her name but she's an art history student at UT!) was great, very personable and helpful! You get so much food, we were quite full and had leftovers for later! Highly recommend this tour in particular because I would've never gone into all of the places we went to had it not been for this tour. Plus it wasn't overly crowded at each spot which we liked. We wandered over to Kensington market after which was crazy busy so we're glad we did Chinatown instead. Definitely worth it!

Our guide was great, he obviously knew his history and I loved the random facts about the city. He was even patient w/ a woman who was from Toronto and acted like she was the leader. She was super annoying, but he remained polite. The food was amazing, I only didn't like the one Portuguese tart. I was stuffed by the end of the tour. It lasted about 4 hours and was well worth the money. This was my 2nd Food Tour and I truly see myself doing one every time I travel.

I went on the Toronto to Niagara tour on Saturday, 9/2/2017. When registering for the tour online…read morethey give you the additional options of choosing whether you want to visit the Skylon Tower and/or taking the Hornblower Boat Cruise in Niagara Falls. I chose both and it only cost me $94.37 (in US dollars). In Canadian dollars it's $123.72. I made my reservations months ahead of time. After making the reservation, I received an email confirming all the details of trip including where to meet. The tour group met at Dundas Square (Toronto's answer to Times Square) at 8am. I got there half an hour early & waited. Toronto doesn't have as much crime as most large USA cities but you still should be somewhat streetwise at Dundas Square. One homeless guy thought I was waiting on a bus & tried to give me his bus transfer & another asked me if a nearby water fountain was working. But in true Canadian fashion both were polite in comparison to what you see in the States. Around 8am a shuttle bus & a black car showed up. Most people got in the shuttle but I rode the car & we separated. I think it was because the ones in the shuttle must not have chosen to go to the Skylon Tower or the boat cruise. The tour group who rode with me in the car consisted of 4 people total. Besides myself, there was a married couple originally from Peru but now living in San Francisco & our driver/tour guide. I believe his name was Melvin & he is an older, friendly white Canadian who is married to a woman from New Jersey. He's very proud of his country & is quite the historian. I slept half the way to Niagara Falls but I do remember Melvin playing a rousing choral version of the Canadian national anthem in his car along with some music that sounded like Christian pop. He has an offbeat Canadian sense of humor & sometimes you can't tell he's making a joke until he laughs at the end of it. A couple of the funnies I did get was when he joked about the US/Canada border being too big for Trump to build a border wall & knowing I live in Atlanta he ribbed me about how the Falcons lost the Super Bowl. When we got to the town of Niagara Falls, our first stop was at the Skylon Tower. At 520 feet, the tower has an observation deck that gives you a view of both the American & Canadian side of Niagara Falls. If you visit the observation deck it's best to wear a jacket because it's windy & chilly up there. We had our pictures taken before going up and once we got back down they will try to sell them to you with a photoshopped picture of the falls in the background. I bought two large photos placed inside a leather album for a little over $50. They also tried to sell me one where they photoshopped my upper body sticking out of a barrel going over the falls but I didn't buy that one. My favorite part of the tour was the Hornblower Boat Cruise that takes you as close as you'll want to get to the Canadian Niagara Falls. They give you thin plastic ponchos to wear because you're guaranteed to get wet. I stood in the front of the outside of the bottom deck. The ride is calm at first. Then the mist gets stronger until you get as wet as if it you were in a rainstorm. Up close the falls resemble the scene in the Ten Commandments movie when Moses parts the Red Sea. The walls of water will eventually be all you see besides the blue sky. It's an experience you don't want to miss. After the boat tour we stood on the balcony-like spectator area overlooking the falls. Then we went to the town of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. It's a small, touristy town with a park & an old-fashioned downtown. The Prince of Wales Hotel (where some of the movie "It's A Wonderful Life" was filmed) is here. We ate a lunch at one of the local restaurants (the price of the meal isn't included in your tour payment). My meal consisted of a chicken sandwich and soda for a little over $10. Next we went to a wine tasting (included in our tour at no extra charge). It was here that I had my first taste of alcohol since 2009. The only one who didn't sample any of the world renown Canadian iced wine was our driver/tour guide. We also got to view the vineyard from a short distance. Before going back to Toronto some of the other things we saw: the outside of a reservoir that uses the water from Niagara Falls to generate electricity; a sort of botanical clock made of flowers; a cable car that crosses a gorge near the falls; a place commemorating Laura Secord (a woman who walked 20 miles to let British troops know American solders were nearby during the War of 1812); one of the world's smallest chapels (it looks barely large enough to squeeze in 2 or 3 people); & we even passed by an outdoor wedding in process. We got back to Toronto around 4pm. Melvin dropped the couple off at their hotel & then was kind enough to put me out near the guest house I was staying at. This was one of the most thorough tours I've ever been on. A perfect 5 stars!

The real draw is the setting: the Toronto skyline unspooling from the water, a DJ keeping the deck lively, a drink in hand and nowhere in particular to be.

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more I spent over $400 on 16 tickets for the Sunset Cruise for my birthday on September 27, 2025. We never made it because Toronto was completely gridlocked from the Messi event. I called and was told by one of the operators that I would be able to use the tickets another time, so I wasn't worried. When I actually tried to rebook, nobody answered the phone. After calling over and over, I was forced to use their texting service. Suddenly, I was told my tickets couldn't be used, I couldn't get a refund, and they wouldn't offer any credit or compensation. Instead, they told me to contact travel insurance. I'm from Northern Ontario. Why would I buy travel insurance for a day trip within my own province? Keeping over $400 for tickets that were never used and refusing to work with a customer in any way is terrible business. The complete lack of communication, impossible customer service, and unwillingness to stand behind what your staff told me is unacceptable. I won't be booking with this company again, and I wouldn't recommend anyone else does either.
