Highly recommend this as a start to your visit in Toronto, whether it's your first time or 40th time, the sites, information and fun is quite unique! Extremely refreshing and very informative. Can't recommend it enough.
Correctly advertised as a casual walking tour. Great way to get a leisurely 90 min overview of the city if you don’t have much time. Tour guide had interesting facts and perspective about Toronto and Canadian society, and gave us a solid restaurant recommendation afterwards.
So glad we chose CJ at Idle-Hours Tours. We had 2 hours of a perfect introduction to Toronto. Wish we had been offered that opportunity years ago when we first came here. But better late than never. CJ was everything you want in a guide and more. We had a great time.
Our guide gave us a general view of Toronto's downtown with some historical information and facts about specific events. Very friendly and professional.
CJ is a great guide, he arrived promptly and messaged me before to reconfirm our meeting. He was very knowledgable and we went to some interesting places.
We loved all of the stops! The views were awesome and the tour guide was so informative and friendly! Would definitely recommend.
CJ is hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of having I was wondering around the CN tower having no idea where to go until i ran into him selling tickets close by. I was a little intimidated by Toronto but CJ really made it an amazing experience and made me love the city! He knows the city like the back of his hand and the history of Toronto blew me away I never expected that much to come from a city I didn’t give to much mind too. So happy I chose CJ for my Toronto tours!!
I had the pleasure of having CJ lead the tour around Toronto and he was absolutely outstanding. It always makes a difference when you can tell someone is passionate about what they do and coupled with his extensive knowledge of the city, he made the tour invaluable!
Honestly CJ was one of the best tour guides, charismatic, informative and down to earth, being from the UK me and my family didn't know much about the history there however CJ gave us all the information we needed and answered all the questions we asked, we had the opportunity to go up the cn tower the views were amazing, highly recommend CJ as your tour guide, 5 stars
