ON MARTA'S WALKING TOURS

“During March Break, a friend and I decided to take our children on a historical walking tour of Old Town. Marta was our guide. We all enjoyed the tour — it was interesting, age-appropriate and fun. I have done three tours with Marta, and look forward to doing many more. A great way to learn about the architecture and history of Toronto!”

“Our walking tour was fantastic, and we look forward to the next one.  We were very impressed with the depth of knowledge of architectural styles, as well as the cultural context of the era described by Marta, as she revealed the jewels in our midst. The tour appealed to everyone in our group — a diverse mix of construction professionals.”

- The Canadian Association of Women in Construction

“Our Group thoroughly enjoyed your walking tours of the Annex and Rosedale. Your architectural knowledge and history of the areas was most interesting and we look forward to our next walk on the Toronto Islands.”

- Susan

“The Jaunters thoroughly enjoyed their walk of the Beach. Comments included: excellent, a great mix of detail and stories, information very interesting but not overpowering, great value, and good mix of walking and stopping to listen and observe.”
