I truly  enjoyed this tour with Dave! He was extremely knowledgeable about the history  and demographics of Toronto, and he clearly explained the unique way the  culture of Toronto came to be. The order of the tour was logical and helped  me go from knowing nothing about Toronto to feeling like an insider by the  end of it. Dave was very friendly and helpful in regards to recommendations  of places to try, things to do. I plan to take his other tour when I come  back to Toronto!

I  haven't' been a fan of organized tours until this tour with Dave. We met on  time at the appointed spot, he was organized, professional in a friendly way,  and had me rethinking my biases (for tours) within the first 20 minutes. Dave  knows a lot about Toronto and shares it in a manner that is interesting and  speaks to a diverse crowd. I loved the little known facts that he shared with  objectivity and no judgment. His quirky sense of humour was a delight and I  was only sorry that his knee was causing him discomfort. Especially  considering it is a 'walking' tour. He didn't let this interfere with the  tour and we covered a lot of ground, at a slower pace I think, which allowed  me plenty of time to stop and take photos! Thank you Dave. I will be back to  explore another part of this great city with you next time I'm in town

Dave was  very friendly and knowledgeable about Toronto. We like off the beaten path  somewhat and Dave took us to places we would not have found on our own. Great  tour.

Dave, the tour guide, is exceptionally knowledgeable about the history and high points of interests in Toronto. His style of presentation is engaging and the walk through the various parts of the city were well paced with plenty to see and plenty of opportunities to pause to take it all in. I suggest that if this is your first time to Toronto or if you just want to understand more of what makes it the magical place that it is start with one of Dave’s tours. You’ll be glad you did!

This was  a really great tour! Lots of great information and a very engaging host. Pack  walking shoes because you really get to move around the downtown area and if  you’ve booked a couple walking tours, you’ll need them. This is a must do  experience!

Dave's  tour was great. It was highly informative and explained in a nice and witty  way. Dave told us a lot about the recent history of Toronto, about the  struggles between the rich and the poor, and about the recent staggering  growth of the city. He has very interesting insights into the life of the  city and its impulses. Great walk and amazing neighbourhoods. I highly  recommend this tour.

The  Queen West/Kensington Market walking tour was a terrific introduction to  Toronto on my first day in the city. Beginning at City Hall, Dave gave us  information on the city and its history and its people. I combined this tour  with the "Show Me the City" tour in the morning and got a great  overview of the whole Old Toronto downtown area. This was an extremely  enjoyable tour and I recommend it highly.

Dave´s  tours are great. He loves his hometown and he gives you a lot of facts and  insights about Toronto. The Kensington Market tour starts at the City Hall  and the walk ends somewhere in the Market. When we did the tour it started to  rain heavily so we continued the tour in Kensington Market pubs which was  very great. I highly recommend the tour!

The tour  was very good. Low key, relaxing and informative. Dave’s partner did a great  job pointing out many of the must sees in the city and also good places to  grab food. There was just enough history to make it interesting without  boredom!! Great job.

I'm not  a fan of tours because I hate the feeling of being herded around with a lots  of people and not learning a great deal but this tour was the exception. I  can't thank Gerard enough. His knowledge was outstanding, he was so easy to  talk to and was a really nice guy. This tour far exceeded my expectations and  I would definitely recommend it. I just wish I'd had time to do one of their  other tours. Thanks guys

It was  awesome! This tour has got a lot of varieties including the court house,  Chinatown, the colourful Kensington market and a beautiful graffiti alley!  Gerard has so much knowledge about all the places, and being a chef himself  he gives insider tips on restaurants based on your preference! He even guided  us to an amazing food court at the end of the tour! I'd definitely recommend  everyone to go for this tour, tha ks Gerard and Dave!

Our tour  guide Gerard provided a fantastic tour of downtown Toronto. He shared the  history of the city, the architectural highlights, and pointed out some  fantastic eateries. My family really enjoyed the 2.5 hours we spent with him.

Gerard  was a really nice tour guide who gave me a private tour because the other  people didn’t come which was really cool for me. He gave me a lot of tips  where to eat at Kensington Market and also for the Toronto Islands what was  really helpful for me, too. The tour ended up a bit earlier as I expected but  it was quite nice, I would recommend it and I really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Totally worth the money!

Our tour  with Gerard was wonderful. He is very knowledgeable about Toronto, very  engaging and we enjoyed conversations about many things. We had only one full  day in Toronto and were so glad we spent a few of our precious hours on this  tour. Well worth it!

This  tour is exceptional. I had a great time on the tour with Dave and Gerard.  They were very friendly; helpful and knowledgeable about Toronto. They were  also very considerate with the guests. I learned a lot about Toronto culture  along with its rich culture and diversities. Also, I got to hear about  interesting stories about the city that I will never learn in any history  book. I would highly recommend this tour.

It was  an awesome tour. Gerard and Dave were great guides. We visited some hot spots  as well as locations that were not mentioned in travel guides. Always with  some background and/or historical information. Also the both are very helpful  if you have any other questions about Toronto. The tour last about 2 hours  and time flies.

This was  a great way to see areas of Toronto which I had only heard about. Dave and  Gerard did a great job explaining the history of immigration in Toronto and  showing me some great areas of the city. They were friendly and  knowledgeable. The stories and pictures they used were very useful and  interesting. This was a great tour. The two hours went by so fast. Highly  recommended.
