History and Sites

Get to see interesting sites in the city and have an interesting anecdote or story associated with the location. You can go at your own pace or try to achieve a timed goal.

Outstanding Customer service by Air Canada Toronto airport staff.

Published on Feb, 2024

A big shout-out to the hard work of Eric Santos at the Toronto airport who took our delayed flight and missing luggage as a personal quest and got us completely fixed up in record time. It is not often a delayed flight and lost baggage will merit an 'attaboy', but in this case, his caring attitude and prompt service in resolving our issues were greatly appreciated.

Good for coupled

Published on Oct, 2023

Very fun experience with my wife, going around the city to find clues is really enjoyable. We were also able to pause to get food

Really enjoyed ourselves

Published on Jul, 2023

My husband and I did this as a way to travel around and sight see. Had we not we would have missed so much of the history in Toronto.

Fun and interesting

Published on Jan, 2023

It was a great thing to do and we learned a lot about the darker but very interesting history of old Toronto. The Storyline was great, as was the places of interest it took you to. Would recommend to residents and visitors
