Our tour with Marilyn was great! It was just the two of us with her so we were able to ask lots of questions and get a great idea of how it was living in this city. She took us around the downtown showing us the most iconic parts of the city and telling us plenty of different facts about every place. This is a great option for getting a first approach to the city and figuring out your next plans.

Rachel was fantastic!! She was so pleasant and so knowledgeable about the city. The tour was at the perfect pace for us. She showed us some amazing things in Toronto!! I would highly recommend this very nice informative tour!!
