The well-trained your guide Chloee had a binder of relevant photos and graphics. This tour is an extended "show and tell" experience.

Chloee made herself available to answer questions one-on-one and also in the whole-group context. She included some suggestions for follow-up activities, including a visit to Graffiti Alley. We visited that site the same day and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

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.

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.

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!

Toronto Review 13/Many: While looking for a tour of the city, the other person I was with found…read morethis tour company on a TA page. It was specifically listed as "Old Town Free Walking Tour of Toronto, Gratuity-Based," and it worked out perfectly, as the other person wasn't looking for a food tour, which is why we didn't do one at St. Lawrence Market. The meeting place was Berczy Park, and there was a booking fee of around 7 CAD per person. If I recall correctly, tours were available at 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM, and 6:00 PM, and there was a suggested gratuity of 30 CAD. For our English-language tour, I think there were around 25 people, but there is also a private tour available. Our tour guide was Darren, a friendly guy who kept the group together and gave some very useful information while sprinkling in the occasional joke or something similar for some levity. He answered questions as best as he could, pointed out some things we hadn't noticed, and was overall excellent. We kept up a pretty brisk pace, which I didn't mind, and he had said that we could slow down if needed. The tour went through many different places, with the tour eventually ending at Union Station. Overall, I would highly recommend it.
