Booking with the owner, Kevin, was seemless. Our tour stopped at 3 great wineries and included a charcuterie lunch. Our driver, Mark, was fantastic and showed us all of the features of the Tesla X that we were fortunate to tour in. Mark was also a wealth of knowledge about the area and the drive by Shawnigan Lake Private School was a nice personal touch.

We've visited Toronto before. But for the first time ever, my wife and I felt truly immersed in the city when Wendy took us on a bike tour. Toronto transformed from a grid of concrete and condos. It became lively communities, nestled together amongst parks and paths and art installations. We pedalled across green grass alongside a downtown farm. (Who knew there was a downtown farm?) Any bike guide can point up at Googleable tourist stops. But Wendy's route took us away from the city's hustle, and into its heartbeat -- all within sight of the CN Tower. Whether you just arrived in town or you've lived here for years, Pedal Toronto is worth checking out.

It had been a while since I visited Vancouver but the first thing I did upon returning was book another tour with Paul at "Into the Wild". New routes but the same great fun and service. I simply cannot recommend this company highly enough. Thank you for looking after us so well, we will keep coming back again and again! (Sorry about the delay in writing the review!)

The tour was fun and interesting and glad I got the chance to see some neighborhoods in the city I might not otherwise have visited. Lots of cool places to eat wish I could have tried them all. We did a bunch of snacking at a few stops though. Mike was a great guide who knew so much. And there were about 5 of us all together on the tour. It’s great when you can meet up with strangers but it feels like spending the day with new friends.

I used to travel back home in Vietnam at the end of June, 2019 last year and I had to have a stop for a transit in Toronto Pearson International Airport for few hours. I think that was a new and exciting experience because when my flight was from Halifax to Toronto ended, I went to Toronto airport to transfer to the next flight and honestly, the airport is so huge and the way to the gate for my next flight is so long. I was confused a little bit about my gate flight and had trouble in finding the way so I asked the staff and they helped me and directed me the way politely. They were so friendly and hospitable to the travelers. However, I love the unique architecture of that airport’s building since it is very modern and amazing. There are many luxury high-fashion brands along the way I was going to my gate too. Everything is so new and modern. When I came to my gate, I found a seat to wait for my next flight, I can see it is so convenient for me since there are many tables with many tablets for the travelers to order the food from the opposite restaurants or to play games, surf the Internet in free time, which helps them “kill the time” to do something else while waiting for their next flight for too long. I was very excited when I found an Asian restaurant that is in front of my waiting seat with a Vietnamese name, I think, I did not remember. This restaurant attracted so many guests and I should have probably tasted the food from that restaurant if I had had time since my transit time was only about few short hours. The airport is full of travelers from many different culture and countries because Toronto is known to have a variety of culture from many countries in the world. It was an amazing experience for me since this airports helps me feel familiar with Asian community, culture and has many diverse culture so I didn’t feel lost and alone in Canada.
