Would Not recommend

Not a good tourist guide/driver. He was in a rush and did not even mention some of the spots on the itinerary. We most likely passed by them but he didn’t mention the milvish village on the list, hockey hall of fame and Campbell house museum.

Bus Tour?

I just don’t consider a Suburban a bus. We were stuck in the third row seat with small side windows. It was hard getting in and out of the vehicle even with assistance. Our tour guides were great. Pointed out many wonderful sites. I just wish I could have actually seen them.

Operator response

Dear valued guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Toronto City Highlights Express Bus Tour. We are glad to hear that your tour guides were great and pointed out many wonderful sights throughout the city. We are very sorry that the vehicle did not meet your expectations. We understand that comfort, visibility, and easy access are very important on a Toronto sightseeing tour, and we regret that the third-row seating in the Suburban made it difficult for you to fully enjoy the views. Your comments are valuable, and we will share them with our operations team as we continue working to improve the guest experience, vehicle assignment, and overall tour comfort. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope we may have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future. Kind regards, Stephanie
