Tour guide had interesting facts and perspective about Toronto and Canadian society, and gave us a solid restaurant recommendation afterwards.

Don’t hesitate to book with Casual Historic Tours. - So glad we chose CJ at Idle-Hours Tours. We had 2 hours of a perfect introduction to Toronto. Wish we had been offered that opportunity years ago when we first came here. But better late than never. CJ was everything you want in a guide and more. We had a great time.

Very Informative of Torontos History - CJ is hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had the pleasure of having I was wondering around the CN tower having no idea where to go until i ran into him selling tickets close by. I was a little intimidated by Toronto but CJ really made it an amazing experience and made me love the city! He knows the city like the back of his hand and the history of Toronto blew me away I never expected that much to come from a city I didn’t give to much mind too. So happy I chose CJ for my Toronto tours!!
