EXCELLENT Based on 9 reviews Posted on Google Ted WilbyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the best trip I’ve had to Niagara on the Lake and Niagara Falls. Great views from the Skylon Tower. Getting to see the falls from a boat was extraordinary. I learned a lot with stops along the Niagara River. I had no idea so much could be packed into one day and yet, came home refreshed having the luxury of a bus tackling the trip to and from Toronto. Take your friends. Have a great day like I did.Posted on Google Ross MacnaughtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a Torontonian all my life, Duncan gave me numerous, interesting additions to my knowledge of Toronto. He was personable, attentive and knowledgeable. His walk included many worthwhile sights, with their history, throughout downtown Toronto. Trying to duplicate this on my own would be fruitless. For a worthwhile, entertaining two hours, I highly recommend his walking tour.Posted on Google Nelson BaitzelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Duncan is an incredible tour guide who clearly has a love for the city of Toronto. Over our two hour city walking tour we learned lots about what makes Toronto such an wonderful city. Book this tour early in your visit so you can gets lots of tips on how to navigate and enjoy Toronto like a local!Posted on Google JESSIE G.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well paced walking tour. It's clear the love that Duncan has for the city of Toronto. He's curated an experience with the right blend of history and modern tidbits. Lots of local recommendations. I wish we had time to take his wine tour Taste of the Strait. It's a reason to come back.Posted on Google EveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have lived in Toronto for over 50 years and thought I knew the city well. But when I took Savant Tours walking tour “Exploring the Heart of Downtown Toronto”, was I ever surprised. I knew nothing about the Spirit Garden which sits quietly adjacent to Nathan Phillips Square, with its spectacular sculpture of a canoe, and the sculpture of a turtle that represents the creation on North America. There is a domed structure for people to gather and contemplate. All is dedicated to residential school survivors. From there, our guide took us to locales I pass by every day, yet have been completely unaware of their history. The Canada Life Building with its weather beacon, the Toronto Dominion Bank designed by world famous architect Mies van der Rohe, who wanted his buildings to have dedicated space around them for the public to enjoy. We viewed two stunning sculptures I have never seen before: “Dreaming,” which brings a deep breath and a sense of peace amidst the hustle of downtown Toronto and “Tembo, the mother of all elephants. Our guide wove together the old and the new with clarity and a sense of humour. I now have a whole new appreciation for this spectacular city of ours. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Margaret ToddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic time. Duncan was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and communicated with the group very well. I plan on taking the tour again this Fall. The scenery on this tour is fantastic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.Posted on Google Isalyne HebertTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Savant Tour to Niagara is a great way to discover the Niagara Falls region like a local. It was complete with fun little surprises along the way and good vibes. If you’re just in Toronto visiting you should check it out!Posted on Google Lynda MylerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Duncan made the trip fun and educational.

EXCELLENT Based on 13 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Mel CVerified Terrific Experience! Duncan gave an excellent tour, full of fascinating and little-known insights about the great city of Toronto. He was easy to understand, welcomed every question, and clearly cared about giving us a memorable experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour!Posted on Tripadvisor Lynda MVerified Get an absolutely unique and entertaining view of Toronto during this tour! Duncan brought an interesting and enjoyable perspective to learning about Toronto. I particularly liked the information he shared about the new Reconciliation Garden next to Nathan Philips Square. He also gave examples or told stories about each site which were educational or entertaining. His information about the law society building and its fence was a good example of his unique style. As well, his information about the financial area and the 2020 statue of the mesmerizing head sculpture was fascinating. Even his interesting stories about skateboarding in the city made his tour one-of-a-kind. This tour is absolutely worth taking.Posted on Tripadvisor Jan TVerified A Fun Walk Through Downtown Duncan is a great tour guide. He's a local skateboarder with a deep knowledge of the city. The route he chose was well-designed and included plenty of hidden and overlooked art installations and buildings, as well as the famous PATH network. At the end, he provided a Google Maps map of personal dining recommendations throughout the city that was worth the price of the tour alone!Posted on Tripadvisor ANKIT RVerified Eye Opening This was an awesome and informative tour of Toronto. Duncan has collected some interesting set of facts for place around Toronto that I didn't know even after staying here for almost 4 years. I would say it is worth it.Posted on Tripadvisor Yilin SVerified Highly recommend! This tour was a fun way to learn about the core of Downtown Toronto. Duncan shared interesting facts, stories about the buildings and sculptures we passed, and personal anecdotes from growing up in the city. It was clear that he cares about his work and wants everyone to appreciate Toronto the way he does. I highly recommend this tour for both locals and visitors who want to explore and learn about this great city!Posted on Tripadvisor Teo SecaraVerified New perspectives on my own city!! As a Toronto native, I wanted to see my city from a new perspective, and Duncan’s tour exceeded my expectations. He shared unique and captivating insights about Toronto’s history, culture, and street life - his knowledge and passion for the city really shine through. I loved how engaging he was and how effortlessly he connected stories about local spots, people, and even the skateboarding scene to the broader culture of Toronto. He took me to places I’d never visited before, even after living here for years, and helped me appreciate the city in a totally new way. I’d highly recommend this tour to both locals and visitors, it's a great opportunity to have fun, learn something new, and take in some authentic Toronto energy!Posted on Tripadvisor Kirk GVerified A deeper visit I'm actually a Toronto native curious to get to know my city better and I definitely made the right call. Walking by the same buildings was actually very different with someone there telling you the background and stories of what this city is and how it all came together. So I really appreciate that Duncan! Duncan was fun, easy to understand, and a lot to share. Had a great time.Posted on Tripadvisor Shumin LVerified A Unique Way to Explore Toronto This tour was a fun and interesting way to learn some of Toronto’s more quirky and off-the-beaten-path facts.
