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!

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.

However, our beer knowledge is limited to Coors Light and Corona so this tour will give us an opportunity to learn more about this concoction. We didn't quite know what to expect on this tour as it was rainy and a bit cold (not bad for a late October day however). We met the group and our guide in front of Steamwhistle Brewery at 11am. Our guide Noah (AKA Chris) was there to greet us. Along with my wife and I, there were 7 other people that were there to be part of the tour. Noah introduced himself, took us inside and led us upstairs where he told us about the company and Oliver, a little bit of a beer history of Toronto and what we will be doing on this tour. BTW, as soon as you arrive upstairs, they provide you with a beer. This is a sign for things to come... A guide from Steamwhistle, Dan, came to tell us about the company and lead us to a tour of the facility. This took approximately 40 minutes and once we came back to the room upstairs, Noah had lunch prepared for us. Lunch consisted of charcuterie: Pretzels buns, assorted meats and cheeses. Let's just say nobody was disappointed as it was very good. Then, we left and hopped into a yellow school bus. This was going to be our mode of transportation for the rest of the tour. Our driver Clem (I believe that was his name) was awesome. Our next stop was Fort York. Noah took us to a little tour of the museum and explain to us the history of Toronto in the 1800's and its relation with beer. No beer tasting in this stop. Afterwards, we went to a driving tour of Corktown and its history. This particular section of the tour wasn't long for us but it depends on the Downtown traffic. It wasn't bad for us. Later, we were dropped off at the Distillery District. We went to Izumi or Ontario Spring Water Sake Company first to taste some Sake. A worker from Izumi, Godfrey, told us about the company and the process of making Sake. We got to sample 3 different types of Sake: Nama-Nama, Genshu and Teion Sakura. Our second stop within the Distillery was Mill St. pub. where Noah offered us the different types of beers that Mill St. offers and the how it differs from each other via process and taste. We had some pretzels bites for appetizers. Then we had some time to explore the Distillery before leaving for our last stop. The manufacturing facility is in Scarborough so therefore it is out of the way. We departed the Distillery for Amsterdam Brewery in Leaside. Here, as Noah warned us earlier, the beers come fast and hard. There's no tour of the facility because they only have it twice a day and it doesn't fit this tour. However, Noah led us with the sampling of around 7 (I believe) Amsterdam beers. The most interesting one was Fracture. My wife and I took part of the optional meal at the Granite Brewery in Yonge and Eglinton. A full meal with another sampling of 4 beers. Noah was a great guide. He was knowledgeable, funny and friendly. He made sure to keep our group relaxed and focused at the same time. He was also time conscious which is a must leading a tour group. He made sure that we were all enjoying the tour plus he was very quick to learn all of our names. This tour goes from 11am to 6pm so be prepared but they have staggered the stops at a perfect pace that you never feel like you are in a rush to get to another location. This tour is not cheap but it's worth it. You will sample more than enough beer and I don't think anyone from our group felt that they were not giving us enough beer at any time. Actually, most of us felt the opposite, that it was too much beer. You will be getting a history lesson about beer and its place in Toronto. Even though I gave 5 stars, they could improve the tour by offering more food along the stops and somehow including the tour of the Amsterdam brewery into the tour. We really don't do anything at Amsterdam besides just sit and drink the offered beers. Kudos to the Old Toronto Beer Tour Company and Noah for creating this wonderful tour and making my wife very happy! You saved me from having me sleep in the couch for a few days. Highly recommended.

He is very knowledgeable about Toronto history and also tells some very entertaining ghost stories about each building. Several times during our tour, funny things happened, such as him telling us about how a building's door was damaged during a violent attack in one of the ghost stories, and at that exact moment someone pushed the door open. It was during the summer and we thought the building was empty, so we all jumped out of our skin, including Richard! His ticket prices are very reasonable at $10-$20 per ticket, depending on how many people are in your party. He has many different tours, so I will definitely be trying out some others when I get a chance!

Richard was wonderful…read more We were visiting Toronto from the states, and I had contacted Richard several weeks before to arrange a "Haunted Streets of Toronto" tour. He was super accommodating and helped work out a date and transportation for us (back to our vehicle) after our tour, since it is not circular. The night of the tour, we were running late. He was beyond gracious, as we were about an hour late due the ferry from Toronto Islands running behind, our destination prior to the tour. The weather called for thunderstorms, and the other guests cancelled. Since there were only 5 of us, he could have cancelled the tour entirely, but went ahead with it, honoring his booking. He even altered the route a bit, which helped us not need public transit to get back to our vehicle. Great history along with it, our young adult daughter, who this was for, loved it. Will come again if we are in Toronto, as Richard was incredibly nice and even answered some questions about life in Canada.

We caught our tour bus from Toronto to Niagra Falls (a 90-minute drive), ate lunch, saw the falls from our boat (The Maid of the Mist), spent an hour in town (which was very nice), went to the teaching winery (where I found my new favorite wine-Ice Wine), then came back to Toronto. David (our tour guide) was first rate. He made the time fly by with his knowledge of the history of Toronto, Niagra, and Canda in general. And Brian (our driver) was a master at getting us through the Toronto traffic to and from the falls.

As others have mentioned, the bus itself was not a luxury experience. Uncomfortable narrow seats, no restrooms, and very tight aisles.
