He was so passionate about the haunted history of Montreal and was so animated and interactive that it made the tour that much more fun.

7.Pub Crawl Toronto

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 22 reviews · 5 hours · from $44

Join an English-speaking local guide for five hours across three to four Toronto bars and clubs. You get venue entry, selected drink discounts, and possible free shots. The exact meeting point changes, so check pubcrawltoronto.com before heading out.

“The leader was nice and friendly, and did his best on the night. However, we were the only three people on the pub crawl, which really took away from the whole point of doing a crawl, you go to meet people and experience a social atmosphere. I think in situations like this, guests should be contacted beforehand and either given the option to cancel or have the crawl combined with another night if it’s busier. Instead, we paid $67 each and received one shot at a bar. While entry to venues was included, none of the pubs were busy and it would have been very easy to get in without…”
