It's clear the love that Duncan has for the city of Toronto. He's curated an experience with the right blend of history and modern tidbits. Lots of local recommendations. I wish we had time to take his wine tour Taste of the Strait. It's a reason to come back.

We had a fantastic experience on Duncan’s Toronto tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a different perspective on the city. What made this tour special was how thoughtfully Duncan blended Toronto’s culture, sports, politics, and local neighborhoods into one engaging experience. Viewing the city through the lens of a skateboarder, sports fan, and passionate local gave us insights we never would have discovered on a traditional tour. Duncan was exceptionally prepared, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his city. He had an incredible ability to connect history, current events, sports, architecture, and local culture in a way that was both informative and fun. Every stop felt intentional, and his stories brought Toronto to life. Beyond his knowledge, Duncan is simply a great person to spend time with. He was personable, engaging, and made everyone feel welcome. By the end of the tour, it felt less like being guided by a stranger and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. If you’re visiting Toronto and want an experience that goes beyond the typical tourist highlights, book this tour. Duncan’s passion for the city is contagious, and it’s one of the best ways to get to know Toronto.
I have lived in Toronto for over 50 years and thought I knew the city well. But when I took Savant Tours walking tour “Exploring the Heart of Downtown Toronto”, was I ever surprised. I knew nothing about the Spirit Garden which sits quietly adjacent to Nathan Phillips Square, with its spectacular sculpture of a canoe, and the sculpture of a turtle that represents the creation of North America. There is a domed structure for people to gather and contemplate. All is dedicated to residential school survivors. From there, our guide took us to locales I pass by every day, completely unaware of their history. The Canada Life Building with its weather beacon, the Toronto Dominion Bank designed by world famous architect Mies van der Rohe, who wanted his buildings to have dedicated space around them for the public to enjoy. We viewed two stunning sculptures I have never seen before: “Dreaming,” which brings a deep breath and a sense of peace amidst the hustle of downtown Toronto and “Tembo, the mother of all elephants. Our guide wove together the old and the new with clarity and a sense of humour. I now have a whole new appreciation for this spectacular city of ours. Highly recommend! Eve C.
Great chance to see all the interesting tourist attractions in downtown Toronto. The guide was informative, friendly and helpful. He also provided interesting background to the numerous sights we saw. It was well worth the $15 price.
The information was amazing, the length was perfect, he guided us perfectly, and showed many examples and pictures and videos.
Duncan gave an excellent tour, full of fascinating and little-known insights about the great city of Toronto. He was easy to understand, welcomed every question, and clearly cared about giving us a memorable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!
Duncan brought an interesting and enjoyable perspective to learning about Toronto. I particularly liked the information he shared about the new Reconciliation Garden next to Nathan Philips Square. He also gave examples or told stories about each site which were educational or entertaining. His information about the law society building and its fence was a good example of his unique style. As well, his information about the financial area and the 2020 statue of the mesmerizing head sculpture was fascinating. Even his interesting stories about skateboarding in the city made his tour one-of-a-kind. This tour is absolutely worth taking.
