    Take this to see the whole city in 2 hours, but don’t expect any Wow !

    The experience takes you through almost all of the downtown and offers you reduced rate on the activities along the way. Take this only if you are interested to see the whole town. For me the experience was average as there is nothing like a ‘wow’ in this whole tour. I got down to see the Lawrence market as it was described like some Top10 by the Guide, but it was a very average wet market with very high prices.

    Response from the operator: Dear Ramesh, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for joining us in Toronto. We are pleased to hear you found the tour a convenient way to see downtown and take advantage of our partner discounts along the route. We appreciate your honest comments about your expectations for the tour and St. Lawrence Market. Our goal is to give a great introduction to the city so guests can decide where they'd like to spend more time, and your perspective helps us improve how we present each stop. Thank you again for your feedback, and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in Toronto. City Sightseeing Toronto Team Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour

    Great Toronto Tour!

    Best tour option in Toronto. Good route with lots of hop-on hop-off locations near all the primary sights. The guides Dominique, Sumaia, and Mashaal were very informative and entertaining. Mashaal was the best! Sunny in sales was excellent and very helpful. Thanks for a great 24 hours in Toronto!

    Nice experience with Toronto hop on hop off

    Very informative . We had a little problem because the marathon was being held on Sunday and all hop on/off tours were cancelled for Sunday . We were offered an extension to use our tickets Monday ,but we’re leaving Monday early. Seth at the 1st stop was very kind and helpful and got us a free ticket to use any day they run in 2027. He definitely went the extra mile for us. I hope his supervisors realize what a valuable asset he is. This would have been a very different survey without his positive input.

    Response from the operator: Hi Mark, Thank you so much for sharing your experience on the City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour. We are sorry your original plans were affected by the event in the city that day, but we are really pleased to hear that Seth was there to support you and help find a solution. We will make sure your kind words reach him and his supervisors, we are very proud to have him on our team in Toronto. We hope you can come back and enjoy the full tour with our open-top bus in 2027!

    Finding Toronto Liam style!

    Booking clerk helpful and friendly. Liam our guide on the bus was accommodating and knowledgeable importantly he spoke to everyone individually and on freezing cold day he made the whole experience great fun. He added relevance to his commentary I think we were all engaged with his presentation and we all learned a lot. Highly recommend this tour. Very good value for money.

    Enjoyed the Hop on Hop off tour.

    We met the bus at the first stop and rode it all the way around (just under 2 hours) Good information was shared, the host was easy to hear and understand. I would have liked to have heard more options at each stop - I recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Hi Donna, Thanks for sharing your experience with City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour! A complete loop is a great way to get your bearings in Toronto before deciding which places you'd like to explore further. We're happy our team helped make your time on board worthwhile. We also appreciate your suggestion to share more ideas about what visitors can discover at each stop. We'll pass this along to our local team as we continue looking for ways to improve the experience. Thanks again for recommending us. We hope Toronto left you with plenty of good memories!

    City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Toronto.

    How much does City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Toronto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Toronto is not rushed.

    Is City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 894 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Toronto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?

    +

    Around 313 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Toronto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Toronto and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Toronto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Toronto?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Toronto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Niagara Falls Tour from Toronto: Boat Ride & Journey Behind Falls, Niagara Falls Canada Day Tour From Toronto + Boat Cruise Option, Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Toronto?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Toronto?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in City Sightseeing Toronto Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tour?

    +

    Included: 24 or 48-hour hop-on hop-off bus tour; Live commentary in English or audio guide in 9 languages + headphones; Stops near the major sights; Toronto Sightseeing App providing real-time bus tracking and 2 free self-guided walking to; and Tour map.
