“Great off-the-beaten path historical tour of downtown Toronto. Makes you travel right back to Victorian time and learn fresh info and tidbits about the sex-trade at the time. I appreciated the tour guide’s knowledge and how she did all the research herself. She made me see my city with new eyes.” June 2024
