Great and thorough history tour from A-Zack!

Zack was a fantastic tour guide! He’s young, passionate, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about Toronto’s history. He did a wonderful job bringing the city’s past to life and making the tour both interesting and enjoyable. When we booked, Zack only had a couple of reviews, so we were taking a bit of a chance; and we’re so glad we did! It was absolutely worth it. While he may be relatively new to doing tours professionally, he clearly has a lifetime of love for Toronto and its history, and he was a true pro from start to finish. He was also extremely responsive and helpful, and you can tell he really cares about giving people a great experience.. We had a great time and highly recommend this tour!

Zack was great!

Zach was a young and dynamic tour guide with lots of information about old Toronto. The walk was at a good pace and he kept to the two hour limit.

Because of the small group size, we also had a chance to visit the cathedral. We ended in the distillery district, what a fascinating history. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Toronto!
