“We always use hop on hop off bus tours when we visit a new city. It’s a great way to get your bearings and work out where you want to spend more time. It is usually an automated tour but here we had a guide on the bus telling us about the city. They were all excellent and on hand to answer questions, which they were able to answer without fail!”

2.City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 726 reviews · 2 hours 15 minutes (approx.) · from $49

Use a 24 or 48-hour pass to circle Toronto by double-decker bus, with live English guides or audio in nine languages. The route links Casa Loma, Yorkville, the CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market, and the Distillery District. Guides such as Marcel, Marilyn, Mashaal, and Pietra have earned praise for lively commentary.

“We are in Toronto only for a day and were expecting to see more and at least an overview of Toronto. The website said 25 minutes wait for bus stops, but it took 45 minutes to 1 hour wait. We were waiting a long time and wasting our time. Our tour guide is not informative at all. It’s a waste of time.”

Our tour guide was fantastic — full of great information, fun facts, and stories that made the whole experience even more interesting. And of course, Niagara Falls itself was simply stunning — truly a breathtaking sight! We also loved Niagara by the Lake - very picturesque and Gilmore-Girls-style! We had an unforgettable time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.”
