The greatest tour ever! - Everything I saw on the tour was absolutely beautiful! It was really fun to learn some fun trivia about some of my favorite tv shows and movies, as well as the city of Toronto at the same time too!

A great way to experience the city! - First, it’s astonishing how much is filmed here. Second, you wouldn’t know it in a lot of cases because of CGI, but once you take this tour it’s so clear why Toronto is Hollywood of the North! You gain a whole new appreciation for the city and a lot of the stuff you probably watch because you have stood in the very spot of some of your favorite scenes. Our tour guide Jackie was awesome and incredibly insightful, it was so cool too because you can see her in some of the scenes she is using to show where the filming took place. I cannot recommend this tour enough, it was a great walk through and I learned a ton!

Great guide and your - The guide, Jacqueline, was so personable and energetic with fascinating real life anecdotes. We felt like we had 3 tours in one with the Hollywood North portion as well as a city tour and even some ghost stories. The time flew by as with travelled around the downtown area. All in all a great value and enjoyable tour.

Walk, stop, watch clips with an excentrique guide - Our guide was very passionate, it showed she loved the movie industry. Learned a lot.
The clips are sometimes long to watch, just standing on the street watching numerous movie clips, so maybe just some images printed out from the movie scenes would have been enough, but other than that it was extremely interesting.

Wonderful tv and film walking tour - Had a wonderful time seeing so much in downtown Toronto, getting to see all the places where film and tv shoot at and having the clips shown while on the tour by the guide was key!

well worth the money

Good tour - hope you like Suits (I don't). - The tour guide talked a lot about her own career as an actress and seemed a little bitter about not being famous... If you don't watch Suits, there's not a lot here. All the other stuff was very good.

Phenomenal, Above & Beyond - This tour was the best, and given by a very very experienced actor (as she mentioned 125 times throughout the tour). Jackie made sure to make it as custom as possible, highlighting our interests as much as she could. She also peppered in general facts about Toronto and fascinating architectural details that I definitely would have missed. I only wished we had spent more time on the star walk - which I had no idea was there until she pointed it out! (But you can easily check it out on your own.) Would recommend, 100%.
