Fantastic tour for Toronto first timers - Nick guided us along a great journey of local sights and landmarks, their history and stories, and the character of the city and its people. Our first time in Toronto, and Nick, our guide, (an asset to this city and Buzz Tours), was brilliant in his knowledge and enthusiasm for the city of Toronto. Our 3 hours was over in an eye blink, we had a small, personal group with discussion and questions welcomed. Highly recommended tour!

Take this tour your first day in Toronto!! - Amazing tour!! I knew little to nothing about Toronto before coming here and I now have a deep appreciation for this city. So much to do and see here!! The tour gave me great ideas about what to do and where to go during the rest of my visit to Toronto.
Jason was our tour guide and he was incredible!! Funny, patient, friendly, very knowledgeable, and super easy to be around for three hours. I was solo on the tour because my husband was at a work conference, but Jason made sure I felt included. He also helped us get to know each person on the tour and by the end we were all chatting like old friends. And did I mention that he’s funny? He reminded me of a young Jerry Seinfeld… a witty and dry humor without trying to be “on” the entire tour. It was perfect.
I would totally take this tour again… A+++!
