I love Toronto. I have lived here for 40 years. I have lived in pretty much every downtown neighbourhood and know the diverse breakdown of the city. Toronto is the 2nd most diverse city in the world. I have experienced the city at its best and love to show off the city to the rest of the world. I have also traveled extensively throughout the world, having hit every continent at least once. I love meeting people and showcasing this great city of mine. My background is in television, having started in 1984 with MuchMusic (the MTV of Canada) as a Marketing Manager. I have 30 plus years of experience in television but I found my true calling 5 years ago when I started working for Guided Toronto doing personalized tours of the city.

My reviews

    James gave us a fantastic overview of Toronto! Despite it being Monday with many places closed, we had a great 4 hours together, learned a lot, and shared some laughs. Highly recommend!

    Our tour was set up via email prior to our trip. We booked a 3 hour private Toronto overview city tour. Our guide, James, added everything to our tour that we wanted to see and also made suggestions of other sites to visit. James was awesome! Super knowledgeable and also flexible as we changed our minds several times about where to have lunch. He took photographs of our group and importantly, kept the pace at a comfortable level. We stopped when needed and he made sure we had good directions for our next stop after the end of the tour. I'd highly recommend City Unscripted and James!
