Full description
Tour one of Toronto's newest and oldest landmark locations - popular with tourists and locals alike. The Distillery District's Victorian buildings and cobblestone streets are steeped in history, and are today lined with hip indie restaurants, bars, boutiques, galleries, outdoor sculptures and theaters.  On the tour, you will explore the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America. The story of a young, inebriated city collides with the rise of the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, their families and so much more. Spend an hour with one of the expert, enthralling guides who will tell you stories of business intrigue, a drunk city and the company that became the world's largest distillery.

Nicole was excellent distillary tour guide. She was knowledgable and personable and more than capable to answer related questions. She did not cancel tour as lone participant and she even went into overtime no complaints. Recommend tour. Interesting history that expands beyond Toronto limits.

The distillery tour was guided by Nicole and she was great. She did an excellent job in presenting the information to our group. I would recommend this to anyone especially after receiving chocolate and sampling beer at the end of the tour. Thank you

Nice mix of history and culture with the beer tasting, and the opportunity to chat with our guide, Josh, and rest of group a highlight. Chocolate tasting was delicious and we’re heading back to Scotland with some - just wish my baggage allowance allowed for a few beers too!
