My name is Varol. I live in Toronto, Ontario. I have been in the hospitality business in Ontario and Canada since 2012. As a licensed tour guide, a CTM (Certified Travel Manager) and with lots of experience, I am confident to provide customized, high-quality tours in Toronto, the Niagara Region, Southern Ontario and many parts of Canada. All my tours (except walking tours) YOU CAN BOOK EITHER AS A REGULAR TOUR (for up to 3 people with a sedan or compact SUV) or AS AN LV (large vehicle) TOUR (for groups of 4 to 6 people with a three row-SUV or a minivan). I promise high quality services customizable to your preferences and best value of your money. I guided different groups, from one person or family VIP's to small groups between 7 and 11 and including big groups up to 60 people. I am experienced both in business and official delegations and leisure groups. I can manage different itineraries from daily trips to multi-day tours. You can use my services in English, German and Turkish, with a professional level for all these languages. Graduated from the Bogazici University (Business Administration) in Istanbul. Licensed Tour Guide since 2012 (issued by the Niagara Parks Commission). CTM since 2012 (Certified Travel Manager, licensed by TICO (Travel Industry Council of Ontario) I can guide in other parts of Canada. However, the itinerary must start in Ontario.

Varol is a very professional, knowledgeable and excellent tour guide. Also very accommodating and patient. We were scheduled to be back to Markham from Kingston at 11:00 pm, but due to a major cars accident happened on highway 401, we were all stuck in the traffic jam and Varol was very patient waiting and bring us back to the hotel safely which was around 3:05am. Thank you Varol. Highly recommended Varol as your tour guide!
