You can tell that Dave has traveled a lot and also knows the city very well. He gives very good tips on where to go while in the center and how to get around by public transport. It felt like he really liked this job and always cared about everyone, in my case that I understood because English is my second language.

The tour was great and it hit all the popular parts of Toronto city ; short and sweet . We also finished up at a food market that was so ideal as we could grab a meal post the walk . Dave was very knowledgeable of the city and was able to respond to the questions we had . He also suggested other activities to do while in town .

Highly recommend taking this tour with Dave. We were only in Toronto for a few days and decided to sign up for the tour for a different way to see some of the city. We learned a ton and got to see some sights that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise! Dave is very friendly, knowledgeable and clearly loves what he does. He interacted with everyone and had so many interesting facts to share about Toronto! Highly recommend taking his tour.

This tour was jam packed with interesting stories, insights and explorations of and around Toronto! I learned so much that in the four days that followed, I was basically able to play tour guide for my friends as we hopped around the city (which they greatly appreciated!). Dave is supremely nice, easy going and truly cares about ensuring the group has the best time possible. He’s greatly knowledgeable about Toronto and its history. You’ll learn so many fun facts on this trip from sports to pop culture to architecture to history and more! A must do for anyone visiting — or for any local who wants to fall even more in love with their city.

The tour was amazing! We got to know a lot about Toronto's places and history. We had a great time and Dave has materials like photographs to show and get to know the history or places we visited. We thought that was excellent. We recommend it 100%

I was travelling solo and looking for things to do in town. Coming to this 3-hour long walking tour is one of the best decisions! Not only you get to see many main attractions with their background and history being explained, you also get to meet new people and exchange thoughts and ideas with them. I highly recommend this tour!

Dave has so much knowledge and provided a lot of information about the city of Toronto. I learned so much in the amount of time I was in the tour. He showed me around the city and fell in love with more than I would have expected. Dave will show you around the city and tell you a background story about everything he shows you .

Dave infuses his tour with a lot of charm and personality as he tells the story of York/Toronto building itself up and making a name foritself over the years. Many key locations and important buildings were pointed out that have much historical significance, and Dave always had a fun little story or anecdote to add to them! He has a winsome character, felt like we were strolling through Toronto as a family!

This walking tour was the first thing we did in Toronto; it gave us a great frame of reference for the downtown area and gave us confidence to explore on our own later in the day (with some suggestions from Dave). We really enjoyed the historical photos and hearing about future city plans, as well as the funny stories and anecdotes. Dave was so friendly, inclusive and a wealth of information. We walked at an easy pace and the three hours flew by. Would recommend this experience to anyone!!

Dave is extremely knowledgeable about Toronto. We were expecting a basic walk through but found his tour to provide so much more. Dave is also extremely personable and down to earth. He answered all our questions and would just outright have a conversation with us and the other guests about any thing we asked. This was a great way to get to know the lovely city of Toronto.

Dave has a fantastic grasp of the city, its history and where its going in the future. He had an easy going style that connected witheveryone on the tour. The pictures he showed us at various sites really added to the experience.

This is an amazing tour and a great way to get to know Toronto. Dave really makes it with his love for the area and it’s history. We had 8 people (four different groups) and he did a great job making everyone feel like part of the tour. The tour itself was fantastic with pictures of the area from the 1800s to now, just amazing to see the transformation. A good balance of walking and talking so you don’t get worn out but you make it around to all the key points. We just loved Dave’s enthusiasm and insight, definitely book his tour! We’re also scheduled to take Dave’s PATH Underground tour since it’s going to be a rainy day so check that out as well.

This walking tour was amazing. I struggled to find activities that would be informative and compelling for me, my little brother and dad. Dave's depth of knowledge, passion for Canada and Toronto in particular and his thoughtful curation of the tour was amazing. He came armed with incredible visuals that supplemented a really dynamic tour and that helped a group of non Canadians understand the evolution of the city and what’s to come. Three hours flew by and honestly it felt like we could’ve hung another three hours with Dave. A true highlight of our visit.

Perfect way to start your acquaintance with the city is to take this walking tour!
Dave is a great storyteller, we really enjoyed to learn the history of Toronto from a local.
The walk itself was just at the right pace, interesting and full of discovering hidden gems that we would never get to know by ourselves.
Totally worth it!

Dave’s walking tour is the best! It was my first time in Toronto and I learned the history and some great facts about the city and wouldn’t have been able to do so much on my own.

It was awesome!

Despite Corona the walking tour with Dave was fun and a great way to explore Toronto and get an overview ... You can tell that he loves the city and knows so many interesting things about it.

All I can say is Go, Go, Go! This experience is a must-do if you're in Toronto - you really can't beat the value. But more importantly, you can't beat getting a SOLID tour of the city's downtown and entertainment district areas. You'll leave feeling like you know a good amount of information about Toronto and even a little bit about Canada as a whole too. Dave was a very professional yet personable guide, which made for a productive and enjoyable experience. Go!

This tour was AWESOME! Dave was super knowledgeable about Toronto’s past, and present. The 3 hour tour was immersive and made me feel like a true Torontonian for a few hours. There’s a great chance I could’ve left this tour knowing more about Toronto than my own city. I left this tour with many recommendations for the rest of my time here.

“É stata la prima volta che abbiamo deciso di prenderci una guida turistica e devo dire che è stata la migliore scelta in assoluto. Dave è stato bravissimo. È una persona super in gamba e preparatissima. Si è portato un quaderno con alcune foto antiche dei punti turistici e varie informazioni. Spiega tante cose interessanti senza essere pesante. Ha decisamente contribuito per rendere il nostro viaggio in Canada indimenticabile.”

“Dave's tour is a must if you're visiting Toronto for the first time, or if you've never explored the city. He is well-informed, fun to be with, engaging, and clearly passionate about his city. His passion is definitely contagious. I especially loved his anecdotal stories along the tour; they indeed personalized the tour and that's a bonus to his well-priced package. The three hours simply flew by! I highly recommend Dave.”

“Dave was an excellent tour guide. My wife and I met up with Dave on Nov 26th for his 9:30am tour. There was supposed to be eight people on this tour, but the other 6 people canceled; so we enjoyed a personal tour of the city. Dave is an excellent story teller and he shared a lot of very interesting stories about the great city of Toronto. The weather on this particular day was perfect for a walking tour and Dave showed us all of the must see attractions of Toronto. We toured for 3 hours and my wife and I both got our 10k steps in on our Fitbits. Dave kept our conversation interesting and answered all of our questions. This is a great tour and Dave is a great guide. I highly recommend this tour!”

Tour: Show me the City!

My friends and I booked the tour days before because we didn’t know where to go in the city so we figured a tour guide would be a helpful first step. Dave was nothing short of GREAT. Such a charismatic, kind, knowledgeable, and friendly person. There wasn’t a second that I wasn’t paying attention to what he was saying because he was just that interesting! I was impressed when he casually mentioned that when he first started this business he collaborated with a local cook to better familiarize himself with gastronomy in Toronto. Such a dedicated and passionate tour guide. My friends and I could not stop talking about him even after our tour was over. Would recommend Dave any day!!
