Amazing and informative tour! - 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!
