Things to do in Canada, Canada: The Best Beer Tastings & Tours

April 8, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

World class skiing, decadent European style cuisine, ornamental cathedrals, peaceful island life…Canada is a patchwork of thriving cities and majestic wilderness. Montreal beckons travelers with its French charm and booming cultural landscape. In Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario is a vision of Frank Gehry architecture and national artistic treasures. The gleaming mountain ranges of Banff set a stunning backdrop for an exploration of the Canadian Rockies.

Steve was awesome at helping us plan a last minute wine tour in NOTL. His help and relationships in planning our custom tour was instrumental in the success of our day (at the time the Covid restrictions were changing weekly). Harold was with us too taking photographs which was awesome to document our day and our time together. We will definitely use them for future trips to the area and would highly recommend them. They think of everything and have such great, personal touch’s!

We were lucky enough to get a Saturday wine tour at short notice due to others changing dates ????. The trip was well organised with 4 excellent wineries visited, each with their own unique speciality wines. Our host Marianne had great knowledge of the area and allowed us to take our time where needed. Exceptional service and quality for the day .... would highly recommend to others.

My hubby and I did this tour as a celebration. Melanie our driver was informative and super fun. This tour was so well thought out and timed. We enjoyed this part of our get away so much. They dropped us off and picked us up from our Hotel. We went to 4 vineyards and stopped in the middle of it for lunch. This is exactly what we needed. Thank you so much Zach for being so informative and listening to our wants and dislikes before the tour.

This past year has been rather drab with all the restrictions and laying low that has been dragging on and on. Erika changed all that for me and my bubble. She easily curated a perfect day of fun and adventure based on who we are and she was an amazing facilitator the whole time. I have not had a day of that much fulfillment in along time and I have never had a day of that much fun that was so effortless for me. twofiveo does the work. Thanks for the wonderful lifetime memory!

This was a fantastic way to see some of downtown Victoria from someone who lives and loves what he does - Andy lives right down by the harbour/Chinatown and knew so much about the area. Stops were each unique and places we’d seen on our previous strolls but hadn’t considered going in! COVID protocols followed and while not necessarily good for business, the smaller group made for a very personal experience - 5/5!
