The tour guide was fun and had interesting facts to share about the city as we drove around downtown Toronto. The boat ride around the Ontario Place grounds was fun and entertaining. More

I went to Toronto for a long weekend with my cousin to check out the local bar scene and to watch a baseball game. We stumbled upon this tour company while walking down the street and decided to give it a shot. We did not have to book the tour in advance, and we really only had to wait about... More

Likes: we were able to get on last minute (we just happened to be passing by and were looking for something to do); unique form of transportation; some good overview info of the city (such as regarding the tunnel system); opportunity travel on the water and see the above-water complex; option to get off at different places. Dislikes: nothing particularly... More

Fun although slightly cheesy way to tour Toronto. Toronto from the lake is fun. Tour guide was pretty flat and made it apparent he wished he could be doing something else. Too bad because it potentially could have been a lot more fun. More

We booked the Hippo online from home. We arrived on time and found everything ready to go. The Hippo is fun. The guide was very funny and informative. Being able to drive into Lake Ontario was amazing. It did start to rain so we had to close some of the windows but it was still a lot of fun and... More

This is a great way to see the city and very informative and fun. You could print off a 10% discount coupon from Attractions Toronto Web site. We had a great time. With the discount for my husband and I to take the tour it was $77 and change. I would recommend that you make a reservation because we arrived... More

Our kids are 10 and 12 and they loved this tour- probably the novelty value of an amphibious vehicle, though I certainly found it fun too! The tour guide was humorous and informative and I would recommend you do this tour early on your stay in Toronto as it provides a good basis for navigating the city highlights subsequently. Its...

Our team joined one of the tours on August 16th, it was actually our second time (first time was 3 years ago). We really enjoyed the hour and a half tour of the city, lots of great information narrated by our very entertaining tour host. Not only do you get to tour the city, you also jump into Lake Ontario...

I had been to Toronto a few times before but didn't know a lot about the city, so a group of us decided to do this tour. It was a fun tour that was very informative. The guide was friendly and made sure to chat to each of us before it finished to make sure we didn't have any extra... More
