Stop for a Drink after the Distillery Tour for Sure - A walking tour is a great way to find out things about a place without having to do a lot of reading beforehand, and Eric was certainly knowledgeable and very enthusiastic. The one hour distillery tour was a perfect length of time leaving enough time to stop and taste some of the wares in the local bars on Eric's advice.

Best 1 hour historic tour ever - The 1 hour distillery walking tour with Eric was amazing. Eric brought history to life with his enthusiasm and knowledge of the area..he certainly did his research well. Got to see many pictures and artifacts - a tour well worth experiencing. We learned a lot not only about Gooderham &Worts but of Toronto in general. Amazing.

A must for history lovers! - This tour is an excellent way to spend an hour strolling around the Distillery District and learning about the history of the District in particular and Toronto as a whole. Erik was our guide, and I can’t say enough good things about him. He is a delight! He has a passion for the subject matter that is contagious, and an unlimited amount of knowledge of Canadian history. We learned so much! I did this tour with my 20-year-old son, and he thoroughly enjoyed it as well. After the tour, there are plenty of cute shops, restaurants and breweries to check out, so allow time for that in your schedule. We highly recommend!!
