Excellent guide. The boat trip was rescheduled for earlier in the evening so we didn't see the skyline lit up from the boat. However our guide took us to a good viewpoint which did not disappoint. Good luck Tim for the future!

4.5/5

This was a great trip and our guide was very knowledgeable. We were able to see many iconic Toronto sites and learn about the city along the way. The van was very comfortable and the pick up point was very convenient. We were on the night tour - my 1/2 star deduction was due to the fact that we did not visit a beach as advertised and the boat tour ended before dark so we did not get see the city in lights from the harbor.

2/5

I did enjoy most of the tour and it was a nice way to see the city without needing to rent a car. However, I do think I need to be honest about a couple things: -I feel that the description of the tour is completely incorrect. We did not have time to “grab a bite” in the distillery district. -The driver continuously said that going down to Cherry Beach is not worth it and is now occupied with nightclubs that could lead to strange crowds. If we did end up going to the beach, it was more of a dock across the water from the city. There were no crowds or a nightclub open, so I’m not sure if it was all a lie and he just wanted to be done early. He even said his boss told him it was not a good scene on the night of our tour and it was fine. -The order was incorrect, which just meant that shops were closed by the time we got to the distillery district and the Toronto sign was not lit up as we went to it first instead of last. -There were some interesting facts, but we definitely did not dig deep into history. It was more like common knowledge, nuggets of information, some basic facts and tje guide’s own experiences in the city. -In no place did it say we would share a van with other tourists. We were party of 4 and we shared it with strangers. They were lovely, but it was awkward and unexpected. -It also didn’t say that we would be on a boat with 50+ people of all walks of life and ages. So the calm and relaxing boat ride consisted of being jammed like sardines on a pontoon boat with screaming children. It was A LOT. If I could post a video I would. Nightmare!! We did get some great pictures and enjoy seeing the city, but it was not AT ALL what we expected. I would never tell someone to take this tour.
