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.

Whatever your intelectual curosity is, just dig down to know more and she opens up with her Britanica on the Canada, Ontario, Toronto, culture, food, local joints and entertainments etc. I would not like forget to mention on her dedication for this free service. 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

a Graffiti tour downtown? heck yeah I'm in! got to take a 2…read morehour Graffiti tour on the queen west neighborhood, and it was outstanding. our guide went through the different portions of the neighborhood and even had us walk through a good section of the famous graffiti alley. the guide also spoke with great passion about the history of graffiti throughout the last couple of decades, what to look out for, and also showed us a really cool hidden wall where the bricks are deteriorating due to all of the graffiti removal over the decades, the brick is physically missing due to this. really a top notch tour. be sure if you go on one of this tours to give the guide a donation at the end, as this not expected, but it is the right thing to do. a great way to kill a couple of hours downtown! would do it again!

It was great to get to know everyone, including Sam! She was laid back but professional the whole time. We got Chinese bakery goods, coffee drinks and more pastries as part of the tour! We also got to take a break at the coffee shop, which was really nice and a good way to cool down and reapply sunscreen. I also appreciated the chance to grab a few souvenirs at the market and get photos taken by Sam. This was a really good value and the best deal I found for a Toronto food tour. I would definitely do an urban tour again!

The tour with Noah was exceptional! Noah was knowledgeable, knew fun, architectural, historical and…read morecultural stories about each stop. He had excellent tour guide practices for being fairly new in this role: he always looked at us when he was speaking, he never turned away into the wind where his voice would be lost, He didn't point things that we could not see, he always checked to see if we were walking at a good pace together and offered stops for breaks and washroom. The tour was sold for $1-5, and we were asked to pay him $30CAD at the end. It was so informative and enjoyable, I paid $40US. I would 100% recommend this tour if you visit Toronto!

We had been to the distillery district a few years back and thought it was really cool. When I saw…read morethere was a walking tour explaining the history of it we booked it for our most recent trip and I'm so glad we did. The tour is about an hour which is the perfect amount of time for this area as it isn't huge. We had 4 other people with us so it was a pretty small tour. Our guide Caeli was great. She was enthusiastic and really had a passion for the city and it's history. She was half the fun of the tour. We learned a lot in a small amount of time. The tour ended with a couple of samples of chocolate from SOMA, which were incredible and led to us going back and purchasing some chocolates. There were also some beer samples included, and while we could have walked in and got samples on our own it was fun to do it with the group and to have Caeli's commentary while we sampled some of the different offerings. I would highly recommend the tour for anyone who is interested in history.

I recently attended a wedding at Casa Loma and was absolutely blown away. The service was…read moreexceptional from start to finish. The staff was professional, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. The castle itself felt like something out of a fairy tale. The outdoor tent was stunning, and every detail of the grounds added to the experience. Between the beautiful waterfall, lawn games, signature drinks, and breathtaking views, there was always something to enjoy. The food was far beyond what you would expect from a typical wedding menu. My husband ordered the Chilean sea bass, and I had the ribeye. Both were cooked perfectly and absolutely delicious. My favorite appetizers were the coconut shrimp, dumplings, and burger sliders. Every bite was memorable. I also appreciated how well maintained the venue was throughout the event. The restrooms remained clean and fully stocked all evening, which says a lot about the level of care and attention to detail. Casa Loma was beautiful during the day, but it became truly magical after sunset. I would love to return for a daytime tour to experience the castle in a completely different way. If you're ever visiting Toronto, I highly recommend checking out the restaurant or attending an event here. If the restaurant menu is anything like what was served at the wedding, you're in for a treat. 10/10 experience. The food, service, and atmosphere were unforgettable.

The rooms are cool and the info displayed for each zone is riveting. The best moment I had was being downstairs where the stables were and seeing Lady Pellatt's wedding dress. I talked with the museum attendant who shared an interest in sewing and we discussed clothing choices of the time. The only complaint is with the bathrooms. I got there when it opened and used the bathroom early on. I must know, why was there fecal particles on the toilet seat already? So my only critique is that the public bathrooms need to be cleaned better.
