I walked through lots of Toronto attractions by walk with my guide, Sophia and several tourists like me. I had around 10,000 steps with good and knowledgeable explanations and best weather. Thank Sophia for your help. I had a good experience while listening and seeing the old town of Toronto. I really recommend enjoying Sophia's Toronto walk tour to everyone who wants to know about the old town of Toronto. Thanks again!

Would recommend! The tour was great; the guide, Sophia covered a bunch of points of interest, with walking in between, so it’s not too tiring. That said, you will need comfortable shoes. We started at the dog walking fountain and walked around some installations and building in the Financial, Distillery and Restaurant districts. Sophia was knowledgeable about each place and gave interesting notes at each stop. It’s about 10,000 step.

This was a great walking tour. Maria G was great, and kept us all interested and entertained. I would thoroughly recommend this tour. Her advice regarding taking the ferry to Toronto island was spot on so rather than doing a harbour tour we took the ferry, which for us older humans was just $6 return. I thoroughly recommend doing this and walking along the boardwalk. So thank you, and also great to go underground on the Path. I attach photos, some of which show the city 49 years ago when I visited in 1976.
