Good orientation to downtown Edmonton, helped us find our way around later that day. But...could have been more informative, our guide didn't know answers to what we felt were basic questions about Edmonton. Didn't know the monuments well. The description of the tour said the guides are passionate about the city, our guide was not. Nice young man but tour was a bit lame.
Great walk

I had a great experience with Juan on the Edmonton walking tour. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots of interesting facts about the city’s history, culture, and architecture. The tour was well-organized and gave us really good coverage of downtown Edmonton . I discovered places I wouldn’t have found on my own. Juan made the walk enjoyable. . Highly recommend this tour if you want to explore the city in a fun and informative way!
A very good experience

Our guide, Julie, was on time and very pleasant and helpful. She travelled at a pace that was just right. She provided valuable information about our plans for the rest of our visit to Edmonton. Julie was flexible and friendly.

Hailey was a well-informed and excellent guide. She plied me with an interesting overview of Edmonton and its history. I lucked out that I was the only person on the tour. We covered four miles. I was delighted with the city's many murals. Hailey gave me some restaurant recommendations. The suggestion to visit the Muttart Conservatory was the best idea for this plant enthusiast. Walked from there to 82nd Ave (Whyte) historic area after that which was also recommended. Very cool area if you go the right way and miss the sketchy part of town. Thank you Toonie Tours.
Great intro to Edmonton

Our friendly guide Hailey led a wonderful tour covering the history, fun spots, and beautiful views of Edmonton. Tour was very nicely paced, including a coffee/restroom break at a beautiful coffee house. Hailey pointed out the best photo stops, and guided us through places like the Ice District, the Arts District, and more. Very enjoyable tour.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour of Edmonton. Our tour guide Julie was raised in Edmonton, and was very knowledgeable about the history of the city. She provided a great overview of the city and its people. During our tours of City Hall and the Legislative Building, she provided excellent explanations about how the provincial government works. When we visited the Ice District she told us how hockey is more than just a sport to the residents of Edmonton; it is a big part of their lives. Throughout the tour Julie was friendly and approachable, and provided very thorough responses to our questions. We would choose Julie as a tour guide on future tours if we had the opportunity.
Lovely individual approach to the city's highlights

Julie, our friendly tour guide, gave us an awesome insight to her home town with a lot of distinctive background information and some fancy stories behind places you wouldn't find in an official guide book. It makes all the difference to see the city shown by a real enthusiast. Thanks a lot, Julie!
Great walking tour of Edmonton!
