Booked four days in advance. No communication from guide. Showed up at assigned location. No sign of any guide. No communication from guide at the time or since. Viator called and only got voice mail. While the other reviews look amazing, getting stood up was less than ideal.
Really great experience! Me and my mom both agreed this was our favorite part of our trip to Toronto. Would highly recommend for any history buffs or tourists looking for a unique experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the tour fun!
The tour was amazing! It uncovered the hidden underbelly of Toronto that is still there, lingering underfoot today that hardly anyone knows or thinks about. It was an amazing lesson on the REAL history of the city that gives insight into the people who built this city that we SHOULD be talking about. It offered a view of how life was like for the sex workers in the city throughout history, and explored the true impact they left on the city that we can still see today, but have to dig to find. The tour director was amazing, very knowledgeable and passionate about spreading the awareness of this message. An overall 10/10 experience!
Wow! I am in no way a history nerd but I was completed captivated. What a thoughtful and well delivered tour. A very important history to share. I appreciated the fun tid bits and humor sprinkled throughout.
Our guide LK was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Excellent tour of unique and interesting locations
This is perhaps the best historical walking tour I’ve ever gone on, and I’ve gone on a few! More than just a “titillating” history of the sex trade, LK shows how Toronto’s wealth was accumulated on the backs of, and by, sex workers.
Very informative tour of a little-known aspect of Toronto's history that is rapidly disappearing as the city is tearing down many of the old neighbourhoods to put in skyscrapers. I found it very enjoyable and highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in nineteenth- and twentieth-century social history.
Absolutely fantastic! So well-researched and really fun. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Toronto history.
Excellent storytelling and the tour was packed with countless interesting facts! Great way to learn about an impactful part of Toronto history. Highly recommend, for locals and tourists alike!
Great tour, the guide was really well researched and brought interesting content. Related the history to present day well
