Dave was an excellent guide and we got a private tour because we visited Toronto in February the day after a big snowstorm. We really appreciated the big reference cards he used throughout the tour. Also, plenty of opportunities for photos, as you can see. At the end of the tour, which Dave extended to Eaton Centre for just us, he asked if we'd learned anything. I learned about Quebec nearly seceding and being saved by hockey. I learned about the gold-plated bank building. I learned about the Maple Leafs buying the Raptors. Great tour, well worth the money. No pressure for tips at any point.Debbie_W

I took the PATH walk with Dave and really enjoyed the tour - Dave is very personable and provided an excellent overview not only with respect to the origins of the PATH project but also how it impacts the everyday life of the local people who use it. Dave is an experienced tour-guide who is sincere and able to answer all possible questions about life in Toronto. Overall, it was time well spent and I highly recommend this tour to anybody who wants to experience Toronto up close and personal.LadyCake17

We're so glad we took this tour. Dave is a great guide… he knows a lot, keeps things moving, tries to get everyone involved, yet never pressed people too much. We learned a ton about the city and how the PATH system works, the latter of which will bring us back to Toronto to explore even in winter (something we wouldn't have considered previously due to their extreme temps). Be sure to wear comfy shoes and fuel up before you go. Also recommend that you bring a bottle of water. It's not that you walk so crazy far (it's probably a few miles), but most of it is on concrete, so just plan for that.LoriBeth_R
