 Verified Ultimate day trip to Niagara Falls
Best decision ever to go to Niagara with Zoom. I have been on many tours but this has been by far the best. The tour guide Alp was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and genuinely takes notice of all who are on the tour. I regret not using zoom tours for the other trips I had done while in Canada but will be back and everything will be booked through Zoom tours. Thanks guys.

 Verified Private tour of Niagara Falls at night
Our guide, Alp, was absolutely the best. He was so knowledgeable about the Falls and all the surrounding area. It was a pleasure to have him as our guide. He made sure that we got to see everything that we wanted including the fireworks over the falls at night. If you can book a tour with Alp you won’t be disappointed!

 Verified Excellent tour of Toronto
My family and I were on an overnight trip to Toronto and wanted a quick way to explore the city. We were extremely lucky to be on Johnny’s tour. He communicated with us prior to the start of the tour so we could make it on time, helped us with sightseeing and restaurant recommendations and provided interesting commentary throughout our tour. My 10 year old son even commented this was the first tour he’s ever really enjoyed and paid attention to! We highly recommend this tour, especially with Johnny as a tour guide. He makes you feel like a VIP!!

 Verified The Best Tour Guide!
I went on a Niagara Falls tour with my friends. We were so lucky to meet Johnny. He’s a super-experienced tour guide and the best entertainer who truly loves his job. His talk was incredibly entertaining and really captivated the passengers. If possible, I’d love to request him as our guide for my next tour. I hope he hasn’t retired by then haha! Johnny, you’re amazing!

 Verified Great introduction to Toronto
We really enjoyed this! Was great to go to CN tower while it was so quiet. It was so fun but we would have liked a little longer up the tower and maybe have skipped the stop at the market! We also loved the boat tour. Great introduction to Toronto

 Verified Johnny The Diamond
We booked direct with Zoom. Easy booking and they kept us updated with reminders and accurate details about pick up location etc. We were picked up on time by Johnny, he was our driver and guide for the day. And what a great guy. He was very informative, chatty, funny, friendly, welcoming and a wealth of knowledge. He was a genuinely good guy who clearly enjoyed his job. The tour itself was fantastic, we did it on a Sunday morning so traffic was quiet and queues were short as we arrived early. We were lucky enough to have 30C weather and pure sunshine so we dried off after the boat trip pretty quick. YOU WILL GET WET even with the ponchos. A day we will never forget, The Falls, The Boat Trip and Johnny - what a legend, made it truly memorable. Highly recommended. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
