Incredible personalised tour! - Amazing tour by Erica. It turned out I was the only booking for the day yet Erica didn’t cancel or try to rearrange so I had a very personalised tour! Only spent a couple of days in the city which included a day in Niagara so I really wanted to see as much as I could in the time I had. Erica was able to walk me from one end of the city to the other with lots of things I would definitely not have seen or understood otherwise. Also lots of tips and recommendations for things to do and places to go and set me up perfectly for lunch in the market. Super friendly and put up with my inane questions with patience and humour!
Can not recommend highly enough. Would give more than 5 stars if I could!

A Fascinating tour with Erica - We had a lovely experience on Erica's tour! Exploring Toronto's rich history and local culture, discovering iconic landmarks, and leisurely strolling through the city was both enlightening and enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in not only Toronto's history but also its vibrant contemporary scene.

The BEST walking tour in Toronto aka muddy york! - My wife and I booked this tour as a fun activity to do with family in town, and as both of us aren't originally from Toronto we figured it was a great opportunity for us to be tourists in our own city as well. Our plan worked out perfectly as we all had such a great day. Erica was a fantastic guide providing a plethora of knowledge of the city while making the day super fun as well. The walk was at a very nice pace (not too fast while not lingering too long either) and Erica is the friendliest person ever. Would absolutely recommend the greatest hits tour as well as any she does!

As Torontonians and Seniors, we wish we'd learned about our great city's hidden historical treasures sooner! - Our tour guide, Erica, is very knowledgeable in the many facts and research she must have done to make each stop extremely interesting. Her enthusiastic, positive personality and love for her city shone through at each stop! This 1 1/2 hour tour gave us a taste of more to come, and we would strongly recommend both 'locals' and 'visitors' to take this WALKING tour (walking, rather than riding a tour bus allows one to enter the buildings, not just drive by). You don't have to go to Europe to see history!!

Great tour! - My husband and I had a great time on the walking tour of Toronto. We learned a great deal about the history of this city. We had wonderful photo ops along the way. It was a great way to start off the first day of our trip. Definitely recommend. Just make sure to wear comfortable shoes as it’s a lot of walking.

Amazing tour, best one I've been on! - Erica is a super knowledgeable, friendly and a fantastic guide! She gave lots of useful tips for the rest of my stay that I would never have known as a tourist. The tour finished in the market just before lunch which is ideal.
I can highly recommend this tour to everyone! Thanks Erica :)

Great! - Our guide Erika was very personable and a pleasure for the entire tour. Her tour offered a good introduction to Toronto and took us to places that we probably wouldn't have experienced otherwise but were very unique and interesting. She added lots of historical details that we learned and appreciated. It was definitely a fun time.
