Informative and interesting small group walking tour - Great walking tour with just one other couple. Devin was a great guide, friendly and informative (especially for those of us with no knowledge of Canadian history). We were in the area just before the start of a tour, and were able to purchase and join on the spot. Also happened to be a Whisky Fest on that day, so Devin filled us in on that as well.

A great walking tour! - My entire family enjoyed this walking tour! The Distillery District is a great place to visit in Toronto to enjoy the cute shops, architecture, etc. But, taking this tour taught us the history of the area and we were all really glad that we chose to do this! Our guide, Tom, was knowledgeable and made the tour fun!

Fun, meaningful and entertaining. - Eric was extremely knowledgeable, very entertaining and even involved our almost-10-yr-old with an activity and making the info and stories relevant and meaningful to him. Even though Eric was very generous with his time, giving us extra, our son wished it went on longer! History has never been so interesting and captivating for me. We learned a lot!

Walking Distillery Tour - We decided to book last minute. Was a very informative tour of the area. With the help of our wonderful guide Nicole we learned a lot about the area. And we also saw so much inside beyond what you would think was there doing it on your own.

Great informative tour - Devon led us on a great tour through the distillery district and was eager to answer our questions. There were hidden details in the District that were pointed out which was great (things you wouldn't notice on your own), and great advice on how to make the most of a day in the area. Only reason for four stars is the tour was only an hour long.
