About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- S1419REjamesb0 contributionsGood Tour.Michael was great. We really learned a lot about Toronto but we didn’t need so much time gawking at rich peoples’ houses.Written 19 January 2025
- PghTravelers0 contributionsGreat Family Tour of Toronto with PeterPeter was fantastic! He made the tour fun and informative, keeping both my husband and me entertained while also engaging our two daughters. He shared so much great info about Toronto, answered all our questions, and even tied it into things he learned about us along the way. He was super accommodating and gave us great tips for other things to do during our stay. It was the perfect way to kick off our trip and get to know the city. Thanks, Peter!Written 30 November 2024
- ChandlerMBC0 contributionsGreat experience!Had a great tour! The hotel concierge recommended Grayline and I spent hours looking at options and then ultimately settled back with them. I wanted to see Niagara on the Lake and I’m glad we did! It’s very cute and I would have liked more time there. We weren’t supposed to do the maple tasting with this tour, but we had time, so we did. It was fine-very commercialized and like a fancy truck stop. I wouldn’t choose it on my own. We also did the wine tasting and it was a lovely spot, but I didn’t like any of their wines. A few tips—give yourself extra time to get to the morning meeting spot. And do NOT rely on the free poncho for the boat ride unless you want to get soaked. I brought better disposable raincoats and boot covers I found on Amazon. There is no mist—it is a full shower experience. We still had soaked sleeves, gloves, knees and anything else that was exposed. As it was November and cold outside, we didn’t dry fast and being wet all day is rough. I did the optional lunch mainly to make sure my daughter was fed and didn’t get hangry. It was pretty decent, but nothing exciting. Nice views and I’m glad we did it because it appears to just be a bunch of junk shops and fast food in the area. Overall it was a great trip and I think a tour is the way to go!Written 20 November 2024

- 424kent0 contributionsBea and Roger were great hostsThe tour was a very informative way to start sightseeing Toronto. Beatrice and Roger were great hosts driving the group around and sharing details of the history of the city and the present happenings of construction of new light rail lines. Bea explained the importance of The Asian Canadiens contributions to the city during the emergence of Toronto. Bea gave us restaurant recommendations to visit for authentic local cuisines. Overall, the tour was an amazing way to see Toronto from locals.Written 4 November 2024
- Freedom8163590 contributionsFantastic full day outThis was a fantastic full day excursion to Niagra Falls. Our knowledgeable tour guide was able to provide an interesting commentary as we drove down on the coach, and she and our driver were very friendly and helpful. The boat trip was amazing even if we got quite wet! We enjoyed a terrific lunch at the Sheraton Hotel with panoramic views over the falls and surrounding area. Our trip included a visit to the picturesque town of Niagra, and a wine tasting experience at a local vineyard. This was a really great day out, extremely well organised, and excellent value for money.Written 27 October 2024
- Daydream6307260 contributionsAbsolutely wonderful!I only have one suggestion regarding the tour. When a small group like we were (4 tourists) perhaps a vehicle that has bigger windows and the interior isn't quite so dark. Other than that, the tour was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide Beatrice (B) was so knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. And our driver Mike was absolutely great. Definitely would recommend this tour and these two lovely individuals again and again! Check it for yourselves!Written 13 October 2024
- F2814YQpeterl0 contributionsNiagara a must.First time using Viator for anything and they did not disappoint us. 9hr day trip to Niagara stopping on way for maple syrup tasting then onto the Falls. Breathtaking. Our driver/ guide Sholz was superb giving details of the trip. His driving was excellent and we never felt worried although traffic was heavy at times.Written 30 September 2024
- shawnrV5907JT0 contributionsBest solo full day tour Niagra FallsPeter was the best tour guide! I had the absolute best time by myself but met amazing friends from around the world. Comfy new bus & great driver. Boat ride at the falls then buffet lunch with amazing views then a stop in the cutest town called Niagra on the lake! Then delicious wine tasting at hare wines! Highly recommended by my travel agency!Written 9 September 2024

- tlindeman0 contributionsExcellent trip to Niagara Falls and Beyone.Wonderful tour guide (Alex) and great driver (Hugo). Very entertaining and informative. Well organized, right amount of free time, several activites and experiences including the fabulous Niagara Falls boat trip, the whirlpool, a stroll through Niagara-on-the-lake with time to shop, and a trip to a vineyard and tasting. Great day. Well worth the money!Written 20 July 2024
- jbreisert0 contributionsA great way to experience Niagara FallsVery nice tour. The guide, Crystal, and the driver, Sam, did a fantastic job getting us there and leading our journey. Niagara Falls was amazing. Definitely take the boat ride! It’s incredible to get so close to the falls!!! Beware, you’ll get wet! The included lunch was very nice. The small town of Niagara on the lake is charming. Our final stop at the winery was much better than expected. We even purchased a few bottles of wine. Would highly recommend this tour from Toronto as an easy/great way to get to and from and to experience Niagara Falls.Written 17 July 2024
- jeilynv20240 contributionsVery good trip with very acknowledge people☺️It was totally worth it! I do not remember his name, but our guide was from Sr Lanka and he was so friendly and professional. He gave us a lot of information about all the places we went. I would highly recommend to do the tour, it worth every cent and you will have a great experience with them ☺️Written 8 July 2024
- Agha K0 contributionsNiagra FallsFinally decided to go to Niagra falls. Reached by 11.45 am from where busses took us to table rock area whee the fall was outstanding & there I made up my mind to stay a night, therefore went to Sheraton as it was the best as near to all attractions. After checking inn went outside for the boat ride which takes us near the fall. The experience was outstanding. After the boat ride came to hotel, got the room & went to sleep but in evening I changed the room as there was elevator sound like plane engine. Got a better & bigger room. Walked in night too as the area is big so had to cover. Slept at 12 am midnight.Written 8 July 2024
- W2145YIjanetm0 contributionsHighly recommend, fantastic day out.Coach was comfortable and cool with just the right amount of chatter from Daniel our guide, so we could watch the views. Great driving by Peter too. Niagara was breathtaking, boat ride amazing, lunch at the Sheraton was good, with great views of Niagara. Lake Niagara was cute, definitely visit the Xmas shop. The wine tasting was good. One suggestion - we waited 45 minutes for everyone to finish their boat rides so we could go for lunch, which is time we could have been exploring. I suggest an agreed time and meeting place near the Sheraton so we’re not all sitting around waiting.Written 3 July 2024

This tour was the tale of two experiences. One with this company and one with the tour guide. First the good, our tour of Toronto by car was interesting and gave us a great overview of the city including some of the hidden neighborhoods. Our tour guide was personable & had great energy.
Now the bad...the logistics of getting this tour to actually happen was a nightmare. I called to set up our hotel pick up and the receptionist said that my family would have to walk to a remote location because they didn’t provide pickup service at my hotel. Huh? This was advertised as a private tour and included hotel pick up. When I explained as much she stated I should call viatour because it was between me and this “third party”. I stated that the mix up was on her company’s end so she needed to clear it up.
A few minutes later she went from very dismissive to very accommodating because she “found” my booking and I had “surprise, surprise” booked a private tour with hotel pick up. Why she hadn’t looked at the beginning of the call I’ll never know. We scheduled for a 10 am pick up the next morning But nothing with this company can be that smooth. I got a call that the guide was here for pickup at 9 am. The operator had given the tour guide the wrong time. Wow.
However, as stated in the beginning once the tour started the guide saved to entire experience from being a disaster. Logistics terrible, tour excellent. Overall average.

Dear ProudDadof2,
Thank you for your rating and review following your experience with us.
We are so sorry to hear about the challenge you experiences in regards to the logistics! This is not to our usual standards, and we can imagine how it must have felt to be on the phone trying to schedule a pickup, and it not going as smoothly as it should have.
We are, however, delighted to hear that the guide was able to show you how we truly work: showing you "off the beaten path" neighbourhoods, and the hidden gems of Toronto.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and it is a learning opportunity for us. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your Toronto Tour.
Yours in Hospitality,
Leticia
