Jordan has been able to customize my family tour for a Father’s Day to have everyone interested including our children ages 12 to 21. Jordan knows the history of the city very well and offered a unique experience to us (including delicious treats at the St. Lawrence Market). Highly recommended! Custom Tour

Jordan was an excellent guide for our custom walking food tour. Not only was he great to work with in the planning, but he went out of his way to find the right places for us. He was able to navigate three generations of interests and food preferences. As a Toronto native he knew so much about the city, its people and the culture. Highly recommend!Great custom tour!

Jordan was the perfect host for our group of Floridians exploring Toronto. From the moment we met he was ready with a cool Toronto vibe, city history, and a smattering of local favorites. The St. Lawrence Market was a vibrant scene to experience on a Saturday. The Peameal sandwich, Ukrainian sour cherry cheesecake and fresh PEI oysters were some of our favorites. Jordan figured out our favorite beverages and took us to an award winning brewery for his favorite beers and poutine. A wiz with beer we were educated on Toronto’s distillery and brewery scenes. After our good byes he sent us off with directions to check out more of his local favorites. Jordan provided Avery personalized approach to our visit In Toronto!Fun day in Toronto!

I had an Airbnb experience walking tour of Toronto booked for my team of 10 from SF visiting our newly opened office in Toronto and 3 days before the host cancelled on us! I went into a panic and found Jordan on Withlocals which I had never used but took a gamble and boy did we win the lottery! Jordan is so knowledgeable, funny and pleasant to work with. He also catered our tour based on what we wanted to see and hear about. Don’t waste your time with any other guide here as I reached out to many and my exchanges with others just as inquiry was very poor. NO ONE BETTER THAN JORDAN!

I was lucky enough to be the only person on the Beer Tour! This meant Dave, my guide, and I had lots of time to chat about the history of the city, beer and sport. I'd actually already done a few other tours - which covered some of the topics Dave did - but he was able to add to it. So, it was a great balance! We went to two great bars - where I sampled 6 smaller beers - and it was a great warm up for the Maple Leafs Fanzone I attended in the evening. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!Beer, History and Conversation

We had a fantastic food tour experience in Toronto with Jordan as our guide. His extensive knowledge of the city's history added a fascinating dimension to the tour. He had us laughing throughout, and his food and drink recommendations were top-notch. We were a group of 20 for a corporate gathering, and Jordan's flexibility with pricing, location changes, timing, and the extra help he provided made the experience even better. I highly recommend his tours!100% recommend, great time and history

I am so pleased with our food tour with Jordan. He is a wealth of knowledge about Toronto/Canada. The food tastes were all delicious and focused on Toronto/Canada classic foods along with some surprise unique specialties. We got to see some really neat areas of the city and he pointed out landmarks as we walked. Fun, delicious and informative!

Jordan was our guide and guide he did!! As we clarified our meeting place, he offered to meet us 30 minutes early, if we wanted- appreciated the flexibility! Jordan was interested in where we were visiting from and we really enjoyed learning about his background of growing up in Toronto - a true native guide! He knows the history of the city inside out. And the food sampling was so fun and educational - pea meal sandwich for starters! We learned a lot, ate a lot and finished with fabulous beverages! Well, done, Jordan!! We highly recommend Jordan - an experience we'll never forget!!10 Tastings with Jordan
