Fantastic time
"We did the highlights and hidden gems tour with Jordan and absolutely loved it. Jordan is a top bloke who certainly knows his stuff, I don’t think there is an inch of this city that he couldn’t tell a story about, and if it’s not a story it’s a joke! Next time we are in Toronto we will definitely book another tour with Jordan, in fact we would happily pay the money just to go for a beer with him!!"

Bringing Toronto to Life!
"Leon was a wonderful tour guide. My wife and I had been to Toronto several times, but seeing it through the eyes of an experienced local really brought the city to life. Leon is worldly and charming, with a terrific sense of humor. He showed us many interesting places that we would have never come across on our own, and gave us many good recommendations for dining and activities. A tour with Leon is a great way to get to know the wonderful city of Toronto!"

Awesome Toronto Tour
"We loved our tour with Ivanna! She was friendly, knowledgeable and made Toronto come alive with stories and local insights. She took us to places we never would have found on our own and tailored the tour to what our group enjoyed most. She was also incredibly flexible with the wildfire smoke and adjusted our plans seamlessly. We had a wonderful afternoon and learned so much. I would highly recommend Ivanna!"

Wonderful time with Jordan
"We had a fantastic time with Jordan. He was knowledgeable, flexible, and super fun. It was even more impressive because his normal route was closed, plus we had crazy weather. But, he took us on an awesome tour I would suggest to everyone!"

Fun day in Toronto!
"Jordan was the perfect host for our group of Floridians exploring Toronto. From the moment we met he was ready with a cool Toronto vibe, city history, and a smattering of local favorites. The St. Lawrence Market was a vibrant scene to experience on a Saturday. The Peameal sandwich, Ukrainian sour cherry cheesecake and fresh PEI oysters were some of our favorites. Jordan figured out our favorite beverages and took us to an award winning brewery for his favorite beers and poutine. A wiz with beer we were educated on Toronto’s distillery and brewery scenes. After our good byes he sent us off with directions to check out more of his local favorites. Jordan provided Avery personalized approach to our visit In Toronto!"
