Maya was our tour guide, full of very interesting facts and trivia - we walked 7km and the tour lasted 3 hours, but I didn’t even notice as I was so engrossed!

3 hour city tour with Elizabeth

Published on Nov, 2024

I did a small group tour with Elizabeth and she was amazing. She was very knowledgeable, professional, attentive and ensured that we all had a good time. I would recommend this tour with Elizabeth!

Top Toonies!

Small group of us so we got a great experience and fun trip lead by Maria. Well paced and covered a good area which helped for the rest of the trip.

Great tour. Would recommend.

Published on Nov, 2024

My friend and I booked with Trip Advisors the Toronto tip based walking tour by Toonie Tours. Our guide was Maria. The appox. 3 hr. Tour took us to many parts of downtown Toronto including the old town, financial district and entertainment areas. Maria was very informative about the history and fun facts of the city. The walking pace was easy and there were many places for photo opportunities. Would recommend anyone visiting the city to take this tour as the information will help you to get around the city easier.
