Very personable and knowledgeable and he also gave us some extra time. I would recommend this man as a guide for anyone.

Wayne. Thank you for your kind words. You were an inspiring couple that makes my work easy. I am glad you both enjoyed the day. I might still take you up on this tour in Philadelphia. Kind regards. Leon
Very knowledgeable about Toronto history. Never asked about health stop. Asked in initial communication about having poutine and whiskey tasting. Didn’t happen.
