Great Experience!!! - I took the Old Town Toronto History Walking Tour on Friday, Jan. 9 with Michael and had a fantastic time. I was the only one who showed up for the tour, but Michael kindly took me around downtown, showed me some cool sites, and informed me about the history of the city. He answered any questions I had, and we had great conversations on our walk. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about the city.

Learn a bit about old town Toronto - Learned some about the older part of Toronto, thanks! Our group stayed pretty closely together the whole tour, walking in sort of a line so people could pass. Wish our tour guide hadn’t insisting on hurrying across the street before we were all there and especially wish he hadn’t started speaking as soon as the first person was next to him, but had waited a few seconds more til we could all hear.

Use a different tour site - I made several attempts to contact the tour operator to confirm my booking, however I never got a response. I will never use this site for tours again.
