The well-trained your guide Chloee had a binder of relevant photos and graphics. This tour is an extended "show and tell" experience. The walking pace was moderate, and the guide's voice (using a portable speaker) was audible throughout the tour. We learned about Toronto's history, geography, name, culture, and diversity. 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.

If you want to feel like you're getting your own personalized tour of a fantastic city and want to learn local tips about the Toronto food and drink scene then this is the tour for you. Luckily we had time to do a beer tasting and sake tasting too! I highly recommend this tour, I'll be back!

My husband and I had 24 hours to make the most of our trip, and opting for Guided Toronto was the…read morebest choice we could have made. 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.

Whatever your intelectual curosity is, just dig down to know more and she opens up with her Britanica on the Canada, Ontario, Toronto, culture, food, local joints and entertainments etc. I would not like forget to mention on her dedication for this free service. Though I ended- up as only person confirmed for the day, she turned up in scheduled time and not at all reluctant to give a private tour to my full expectations. Thanks and Best luck Gaby for your endeavours and hope to see you back sometime again as Toronto and your familarity with it has so much more to offer. Ranjan

a Graffiti tour downtown? heck yeah I'm in! got to take a 2…read morehour Graffiti tour on the queen west neighborhood, and it was outstanding. our guide went through the different portions of the neighborhood and even had us walk through a good section of the famous graffiti alley. the guide also spoke with great passion about the history of graffiti throughout the last couple of decades, what to look out for, and also showed us a really cool hidden wall where the bricks are deteriorating due to all of the graffiti removal over the decades, the brick is physically missing due to this. really a top notch tour. be sure if you go on one of this tours to give the guide a donation at the end, as this not expected, but it is the right thing to do. a great way to kill a couple of hours downtown! would do it again!

It was great to get to know everyone, including Sam! She was laid back but professional the whole time. We got Chinese bakery goods, coffee drinks and more pastries as part of the tour! We also got to take a break at the coffee shop, which was really nice and a good way to cool down and reapply sunscreen. 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!

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.

She provided everyone with multiple water bottles and made sure to take frequent breaks at sites of interest. Her instructions were easy to follow with regards to bike safety and she was able to keep our group of 6 (4 in our team plus another pair) together throughout the entire tour with no issues. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone, regardless of their experience level as it can likely accommodate any rider with even just a basic knowledge and familiarity. The tour itself was relaxing, beautiful, and educational. We frequently stopped for historical and contemporary updates on the places we visited while traversing the city and islands. The fact that there are effectively no cars on the island itself really enhanced the experience and made it feel like being out for a serene Sunday bike ride with the family. We really appreciated that at each stop she already had a nice spot picked out to take group photos and helped position and arrange us for optimal configuration and angles. This was such a wonderful way to explore the Toronto Islands, I highly recommend this tour and our guide Mariana!
