Dave is amazing, I strongly recommend to any travelling to Toronto. He took us to so many places during the tour, showed us so many hidden gems and shared with us facts about Toronto and Canada. The pictures he shared are also amazing. He interacted very actively with the entire group.

Great start to a new city!

Victoria_C, Feb 2023

Dave was so friendly, knowledgeable and charming! I learned so much in 3 hours but the tour was so well paced that it didn't feel like information overload, as well as having plenty of time to take in the scenery. Lots of fun as well as being educational. Highly recommend to anyone unfamiliar with Toronto.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Emma_F, Jan 2023

Really enjoyed the tour, Dave was lovely and very insightful! It was also lonely to have a mix of the tour being indoors and outdoors with the weather. Would definitely recommend.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

I am glad you enjoyed the tour. Going inside and outside on a tour makes a cold day much more manageable. I hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in the city.

Do this first!

Dave was a knowledgeable tour guide, giving us a great local view of the city. Toronto is a beautiful city, comparable to NYC but a little cleaner and much more spread out.
