Our company had an incredible experience on the Prohibition and Spirits History Walking Tour. It was the perfect blend of storytelling, local history, and hands-on exploration. We learned fascinating details about the Distillery District and the Prohibition era, with stories and insights none of us had heard before. Our guide Tom was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the subject, which made every stop along the route come to life. The pacing was ideal for a group outing, and there were plenty of opportunities to ask questions, explore, and enjoy the atmosphere. It was a memorable and enjoyable team activity from start to finish. We highly recommend this tour for corporate groups, friends, or anyone looking to experience the Distillery District in a new and meaningful way.

Devin was my tour guide for the 30 minute regular Distillery tour. It was such a pleasure Segway-ing with him. He's knowledgeable and taught me all about the history of the Distillery district. He shared fascinating stories and architectural history you wouldn't know just by looking at the area or reading the placards with history on them. He's a thorough and accurate trainer, he gave clear instruction, and it was a wonderful ride.

This was an AMAZING tour! I took my mum and brother Sunday July 27th, 2025 who are visiting me from England, it was amazing to hear the history of Gooderham & Warts. We all learnt some interesting facts about the Distillery District and the Gooderham/Worts family. I would like to send a special shoutout to Rachel (our tour guide) she was incredibly informative and knew so much about the history, but also the whiskey tasting section that came after the tour. I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide Rachel (I plan to do this again with my aunt who was unable to make it). The process from start to finish was great and the customer service we received at the store when signing in was excellent, we arrived 15 minutes early and there was no hesitation in offering to start early as we were the only ones booked for that day. Thank you to Go Tours for creating a great experience/memories!

We loved the experience! The guides were very friendly and took their time to teach us how to use the Segway properly. Also, they told us some interesting facts about the Distillery District that we did not know. Was worried about falling from the Segway but it was very easy to drive once you got the hang of it. The weather was perfect and overall was really fun.

Did the walking tour which was a cool way to get a pretty in-depth history about the Distillery District in only an hour! My tour guide, Devin, was very passionate and knowledgeable about Toronto, and an engaging storyteller. He had answers to everyone’s questions throughout the tour. Would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Toronto! Be sure to grab some food somewhere in the Distillery District before or after the tour!
