Daniel Chan and driver excellent. Hank and driver too. The whole tour was perfect.
I recommend this tour!
My original tour got cancelled but Take Tours gave me an option which was great. It was my first time joining a tour and it was fun, I had an amazing time and I highly recommend booking this tour. It was a bit rush but we went to a lot of places so I wouldn't complain about that. Our tour guide Lianne, is the best tour guide! I would definitely book again a different tour from Take Tours in the near future.
I recommend this tour!
Booking the trip (5 day Ontario+Quebec) was an easy process online. They replied within 2 days to confirm your spot on the tour.
There are what some may call “hidden fees†to be aware of (mandatory service fee per day and airport transfer to name a few) and food is not included for the most part. You also have to pay for tickets yourself for each venue. So it seems cheap on the site, but it adds up quickly.
It’s kind of annoying that they only tell you which hotel you’d be staying in the day before because my mom and her friend landed in Toronto Pearson outside of the free-shuttle pick up times, so they had to get a cab on their own.
Ryan was our tour guide and he was GREAT! He was really nice and super helpful!
