We took the Toronto Distillery Walking Tour. Our guide Nicole was outstanding. Knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. Great sense of humor and very engaging. Lovesick her town and this area. A fascinating history of a now reclaimed district near Lake Ontario. read more

We had been to the distillery district a few years back and thought it was really cool. When I saw there 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. read more

I did the one hour segway tour and really enjoyed it! A tour guide led my group through the entire distillery district. Our guide was Erik Bell, and he was very knowledgeable, funny, and captivating. The tour also included a chocolate tasting and a beer tasting. Overall, a fun and interesting experience that I'd definitely recommend. read more

It was my boyfriend's birthday yesterday and I didn't want to go with the usual options. That's boring. So what about an experience? What about a WINTER SEGUAY TOUR OF THE DISTILLERY DISTRICT? It was a surprise, it was freezing and it was sososo much fun. They're not open on Mondays but get in touch with them early and anything is possible. We walked in and our guide was waiting for us with a smile and seguays aplenty. We signed wavers, got fitted in our helmets (pink for me, just cause), and soon enough we were outside learning how to use these things. Boyfriend was a natural; I was more apt at going backward then forwards but after a little, guided roll around the area I could handle it. Since we were the only people on this particular tour, it could be specialized. Did we want more riding around or more history? Anywho, we wanted it all and that's what we got. We rolled around and got many hilarious looks but no one was hatin'. It kind of made me want to bust out some speakers and play "Ridin' Dirty" by Chamillionaire. Bring warms socks, gloves, scarf and hat! Luckily, since this was a custom-made trip, we had the luxury of deciding when we wanted our Soma hot chocolate break- which comes included in the package. Safe to say, the Mayan hot chocolate was just what we needed to brave some more cold. But we didn't even have to yet! We went just across the road to Mill Street Brewery and tried samples of various beers, all with some knowledgeable staff and having a great time. We learnt so much! Our guide that whole time was fun, smart and outgoing. He made jokes along the way, made me feel comfortable during this vulnerable time and was happy to share some secrets of Toronto's "dirty" past. I highly, highly suggest it. Don't be lame, surprise your loved one with a gift that keeps on giving for a whole hour. read more

In the spirit of Halloween and maybe with the spirit of it's owner with us we experienced the SEGWAY Distillery Ghost Tour(35min/$49.00). We chose 6 pm tour which would have been better atmosphere if it was a darker scene, so I suggest taking the 7 pm tour and bundle up as needed. Put on your Boarder Helmet and begin training which literally takes 2 minutes and if you're a natural Snowboarder then even less as it has similar motion. The Segways were speed-limited for this private area of the Distillery District but was still good speedy FUN for first timers. For sure you can rundown a few Pedestrians, but I wouldn't start jumping rails(read tip below). The Ghost Tour is a good experience especially for first time visitors of the Distillery District whom at the same time want to learn some History of the buildings with a side of Haunted tales of sightings. I won't disclose anymore, it's for you to discover and for the Tour Guide to share. TIP: Make sure you READ the Waiver before you sign your life away as this ain't no Yoga Waiver. You might actually be signing away your bonus for a few years as any signifcant damages to your ride you might be responsible for. read more

Okay, so when my wife got this Groupon for our family to do this tour I thought it would be touristy and hokey. Erik Bell, our tour guide, proved me wrong even before the tour began. He warmed himself up with an animated juggling act. He hit the ground running. And when I say, running, I mean sprinting his way through the most entertaining and educational tour of the Distillery District anyone could imagine. We wound our way through 200 years of Toronto's lively history with high energy, reliable history, and humorous puns. Even the staff of the Grounds were stopped in their tracks when we paused for edification. He commanded a 20 yard (sorry. 30 meter) presence throughout. Do this tour! read more

My girlfriend and I have always wanted to take a segway tour so when we went to visit Toronto we decided to try out Segway of Ontario. The tours don't seem very popular when it's 35 degress Fahrenheit outside as we were the only two there. It actually turned out quite nice though as we had a personal tour of the distillery district. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable. He spent the first 10 minutes giving us a tutorial on how to use the segway. The next 50 minutes were spent touring and also tasting some of the local samples of beer and chocolate. Both my girlfriend and I had a lot of fun even though it was cold. The only complaint I have is the price. It was around $60 canadian per person which can get a bit pricey if you have a large group. Overall still a very good experience. read more

So much fun! This is my second time using Go Tours and it was fantastic. The first tour I did was a few years ago. Husband and I did a staycation in Toronto and decided a historical tour of Distillery District would be a blast. It was lots of fun and we discovered so many things we did not know. To learn new things about your city is pretty cool! Yesterday I had a day off and nothing to do so I decided to try a Segway experience. IT WAS AMAZING! As someone who is accident prone I was 90% sure I would break all the bones in my body but it was super intuitive and exciting. I would highly recommend it! So.MUCH.FUN. read more

This was our favorite part of our visit to Toronto! Nicole was a fun guide, and riding a Segway was an absolute BLAST! Now, every vacation will include looking for Segway tours. This activity is worth the money! read more

GoToursCanada.com Segway Tour in Toronto, Ontario, Canada This tour was in the Distillery District Joe, our guide, was articulate in conveying the history of the district. He was both humorous and knowledgeable and engaged in making sure we were satisfied in our tour. We were! We are avid Segway tourists so although safety and the "how to" portion of operating the Segway was covered, it was minimized leaving us more time to tour. Thanks Joseph Landau! read more

Hello I always wanted to to a Sagway but never seen one till i was walking in the Distillery area and asked. I went home and found them on line and a deal (Living social). Good: -They show you and let you pratice in front of the story before they go on the tour. -Have all the safety thngs you need. - you also learn something about the Distillery area that you may not ever know before (you need to do the ride to find out) -You can book your ride via email and they also confirm with you. no need to call or remeber when they are open to call. -Other tours that you could do but the 30 Minute was good for an introduction for new to sag way! -The tour guide that I had was good, Lots of information never sounded like it was boring to him and to me it felt like we were the first group of his shift. even encorageed us to ask questions and he could anwser them with no problem (Very good) - Small group (when i went it was 3 me incuded) Negative -The cost I did the 30 minutes | Price: $39 plus tax or the 60 minutes | Price: $69 plus tax | so the cost is not that good but if you find a deal I say you should try it! -only alowed to be in the Distillery area -Parking @ 1.50 for 30 Miuntes I would suggest the TTC cheper and no worries Over all it was a great thing and I would suggest people to come and do it! read more

We were a little disappointed in this tour unfortunately. Our tour guide Eric was very knowledgeable and friendly but the tour started 20 minutes late due to having to wait on other late tour guests. We have been on many tours and really expected a little more than just a museum tour and pointing out a few buildings in the area. The chocolate and beer tasting seemed a bit irrelevant since we were talking about distilling spirits as our tour. read more

Had an awesome tour. The guide was great and they let us start early to stay ahead of the rain. Interesting facts about the area and the city. Segways are amazing. Highly recommended. read more

I was just recently in Toronto from California on vacation this past week and had looked up attractions in the city prior to my trip. Well the Distillery District looked like a fun destination to go take in some of the city's history. You have to call and reserve your space to take the tour beforehand. Well I called a little late and on short notice around 3pm on 4/10/2015 to see if we could get fit in. They took my number and called me back no more than 5 minutes later. They offered a tour at 4pm or 5pm. We chose the 5pm tour because we had to go drop off our vehicle at the Hotel still. As we stepped into the building we were greeted by two guys. One of them commented on my buddies "Golden State Warriors" hat. Which then resulted into some good NBA talk. We had opted for the walk-tour and since we arrived early, our tour guide said we could start early if we'd like. My friend and I were the only two people on the 5pm tour so needless to say we had our guides undivided attention. So we exit the building with our guide Joseph and he starts off by informing us about Gooderham and Worst and how the Distillery came to be. As we walked the tour he was very detailed in explaining the history on the distillery structures, prohibition and labor laws of the times. There's a lot of things to take pictures of, so make sure to bring your camera. We also got to sample some great chocolate and some excellent beer from the Mill St.Brewey. He told us of movies that had been filmed there which left me amazed as I knew a good majority them. Overall I'm SUPER glad I took the tour. I love History, so being there made me feel a connection to this wonderful city's past. Thank you Joseph for this great experience. Cheers!!! read more

This tour is absolutely a must do! Erik and Joseph were our guides for the haunted Segway tour. They were both funny, personable, and entertaining! The instruction received by both made the segways easy to operate, it only took a few minutes to get comfortable with maneuvering them. The tour was very interesting, Erik narrated the tour telling us of the history as well as the haunted history of the various buildings within the distillery. Erik was very enthusiastic, and animated, as he told each story. He even had Joseph laughing! It was funny to watch Joseph react to Erik's story telling. Their personalities played well off of each other which set the tone of the tour. Lots of laughs!!! This tour was awesome....great guides, very nice area, a definite must if you visit Toronto! two adults and two teens...great family fun! read more

Outstanding Segway tour by Andreas. Highly knowledgeable, humorous, and personal. They did a great job at making us comfortable on the Segway and we're patient with us as we got used to them. We would definitely recommend these guys to anyone looking for an informative trip through the Distillery District. read more

Josh Jones was our tour guide and he was "The Man"! Great guide, knowledgeable about Toronto distillery history and the early days! Easy to converse with and just made the experience that much more enjoyable and memorable! Best of luck Josh in the future. Anyone who does not take the distillery walking tour is missing a golden nugget as it relates to Toronto! read more

really enjoyed our tour, and the area needs some history knowledge before approaching it. It's one of the most beautiful, lively and interesting areas in Toronto. On weekends can get busy but it worth the visit whenever you have the opportunity. We will be back on a week day in order to enjoy everything we've learned about the area. The tour guy was knowledge, cool and we even have beer and chocolate tastings included. read more

This was so much fun! Who knew I could handle a segway with such skill and ease? Our two guides, Joseph and Logan were absolutely the best and I completely enjoyed every moment of this tour. Lots of interesting information. Recommend 100%. read more

Josh was a great tour guide. Did the 10 am tour on Saturday. Would recommend taking the earliest tour possible before there are too many tourist. He was very knowledgeable of the area and a great tour guide. The beer and chocolate sampling at the end was great!!! read more

We booked the 60 Minute Distillery District Tour with them and enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend to family and friends!

Two adults, two teenagers and we had a great time. We did this for the Segways more than for the history and we would have enjoyed more time playing around on them - they are as fun as they look. Joseph, our guide, was very entertaining and we learned about the distillery district and some Canadian history. The half hour tour was the right amount of time for us. Also, we likely wouldn't have visited this neighborhood and it seemed like a fun area to walk around if we had more time. read more

We had a great time on our tour and our guide Andreas was awesome! Highly recommend.

Gavin was great. The tour was quick and informative and a quirky way to get an overview of the distillery district of you don't have much time. read more

Did this in the summer with a friend. I bought an hour through Perfect Day Experiences. It was really fun and requires more skill than I had thought. Great guided tour of the area. We stayed to hang out for some unique shopping and culinary delights/feast. There was a local artists show at the time. Great to see so many talented Torontonians displaying their work! read more

We had a BLAST on the tour! Eric our guide was very enthusiastic and made the tour fun. The segways worked great as well.

Skip the CN Tower and go on the Segway Tour instead! This tour was the highlight of our family's short 2 day stay in Toronto. The segways are so much fun and easy to ride. Mike and Sergei took us on an informative tour of the distillery district. They were both knowledgeable and funny. Everyone in our group had huge smiles on our faces afterwards! read more

This was our second time doing the segway tour and it was as great as the first time! We really enjoy taking our visitors from overseas here as it is unique and they get to see some cool buildings and learn a bit about the history of Toronto! Will and Eric (Erik?) were our guides yesterday and they were great. Very patient and with great jokes! I would highly recommend this tour to anyone with visitors from out of town :) - also a fun day date if you're into that! read more

Well have been segwaying in Boston and Chicago where you actually tour the city for 3 hours!! So very disappointed on this tour. 60 minutes but barely used the Segways and went around the same spots. Very small area to Segway in, not worth the almost 400$ we spent for 5 people. read more
