Hollywood North Experience - Our tour guide Jacqueline was wonderful! She has extensive experience in the entertainment industry and she is full of stories and anecdotes. My husband and I live in Toronto but we feel like we have learned a lot from Jacqueline on the history of the downtown. We highly recommend this tour to others.

Excellent Tour/Terrific Guide! - As we were the only ones to sign up for that particular tour, we received the full attention of our host, Jacqueline, who regaled us with tons of information on film sites and the architecture of Toronto. We enjoyed talking with her and she was friendly, informative and fun! This is a "must-see" tour for film buffs, but actually anyone will enjoy it!

The greatest tour ever! - Everything I saw on the tour was absolutely beautiful! It was really fun to learn some fun trivia about some of my favorite tv shows and movies, as well as the city of Toronto at the same time too!

A great way to experience the city! - First, it’s astonishing how much is filmed here. Second, you wouldn’t know it in a lot of cases because of CGI, but once you take this tour it’s so clear why Toronto is Hollywood of the North! You gain a whole new appreciation for the city and a lot of the stuff you probably watch because you have stood in the very spot of some of your favorite scenes. Our tour guide Jackie was awesome and incredibly insightful, it was so cool too because you can see her in some of the scenes she is using to show where the filming took place. I cannot recommend this tour enough, it was a great walk through and I learned a ton!

Great guide and your - The guide, Jacqueline, was so personable and energetic with fascinating real life anecdotes. We felt like we had 3 tours in one with the Hollywood North portion as well as a city tour and even some ghost stories. The time flew by as with travelled around the downtown area. All in all a great value and enjoyable tour.

Walk, stop, watch clips with an excentrique guide - Our guide was very passionate, it showed she loved the movie industry. Learned a lot.
The clips are sometimes long to watch, just standing on the street watching numerous movie clips, so maybe just some images printed out from the movie scenes would have been enough, but other than that it was extremely interesting.

Good tour - hope you like Suits (I don't). - The tour guide talked a lot about her own career as an actress and seemed a little bitter about not being famous... If you don't watch Suits, there's not a lot here. All the other stuff was very good.
