Terrific walking tour

I thoroughly enjoyed this walking tour. For $8 it was well worth it. The tour took slightly more than two hours, provided lots of interesting information, was easy to follow, had an excellent map feature and overall was a fun way to spend a couple of hours exploring the beautiful Toronto waterfront. Highly recommended!

Lots of history and highlights

What a great self tour! We loved the history, parks, and highlights of the waterfront. The only issue we had was using two headsets on the same phone; even though I bought two tours, you had to use two phones which I can understand why. Rather than be on different pages of the tour we just listened from one phone. Be sure your phone is well charged !

Thanks the great review and for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Great information

This was a great way to do the waterfront walk, a very long walk but the little snipits of information along the way made the time go by really quickly. Information provided on this audio made us get tickets for the Casa Loma which also a great visit.
