Experiences Shared by Our Travelers
EXCELLENT Based on 19 reviews Posted on Google James PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very good experience. Duncan was very knowledgeable about Toronto and Niagara Falls and also the other experiences that we had on the dayPosted on Google Lorena FernandezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked a private tour with Duncan as we were traveling with a pre teen and my elderly parents. He tailored everything, from the places to see to the restaurant to fit to what we like and do it on our own schedule. He even did an audio guide of the whole tour in Spanish (as my parents don’t speak English!). He is very friendly and knowledgeable - totally recommend it! Thank you!Posted on Google Encarna Martinez MejiasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

My sister and I did the downtown toronto walking tour with Savant Tours and the guide Duncan was so knowledgeable about facts of the city and the history of famous and hidden gems.
EXCELLENT Based on 18 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Jessie_G2Verified 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 Tripadvisor latchitravelsVerified One of the best tours in Toronto We had a fantastic experience on Duncan’s Toronto tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a different perspective on the city. What made this tour special was how thoughtfully Duncan blended Toronto’s culture, sports, politics, and local neighborhoods into one engaging experience. Viewing the city through the lens of a skateboarder, sports fan, and passionate local gave us insights we never would have discovered on a traditional tour. Duncan was exceptionally prepared, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing his city. He had an incredible ability to connect history, current events, sports, architecture, and local culture in a way that was both informative and fun. Every stop felt intentional, and his stories brought Toronto to life. Beyond his knowledge, Duncan is simply a great person to spend time with. He was personable, engaging, and made everyone feel welcome. By the end of the tour, it felt less like being guided by a stranger and more like exploring the city with a knowledgeable friend. If you’re visiting Toronto and want an experience that goes beyond the typical tourist highlights, book this tour. Duncan’s passion for the city is contagious, and it’s one of the best ways to get to know Toronto.Posted on Tripadvisor Ross MVerified Excellent downtown Toronto walk. Great chance to see all the interesting tourist attractions in downtown Toronto. The guide was informative, friendly and helpful. He also provided interesting background to the numerous sights we saw. It was well worth the $15 price.Posted on Tripadvisor crawford421Verified What a Discovery! 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 of 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, 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 recommend! Eve C.Posted on Tripadvisor Vacation30231083478Verified Amazing walking tour!! The information was amazing, the length was perfect, he guided us perfectly, and showed many examples and pictures and videos.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 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 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.
