Niagara and Toronto Tours
Niagara & Toronto Tours was established in 1978 and was originally a small airplane sightseeing operation based out of the Toronto Island Airport. Passengers would take aerial tours of the fast rising Toronto Skyline and the Niagara Region. As the Airline Industry drastically changed over the next 15 years we were forced to take our show on the road, literally!

The Tour Guides
We Take Great Pride in Hiring & Maintaining our Guide Roster!
Renzo is “The Original Guide.”
He has been with Niagara & Toronto Tours since day 1. Born in Montreal, he left for Toronto in 1977 with only three things: his wife, a dream and a pilot license. He turned those three into a rewarding and long lasting career that is still going strong today.
In addition to his genuine hospitality Renzo speaks fluent English, French and Italian. There are only a hand full of people that know and understand the tourism industry like Renzo, and when you are on board with him you will understand why!
Michael
With backgrounds in theatre, motivational speaking & coaching, Michael has made a very smooth transition into becoming one of Toronto’s most recognizable tour guides. He began in 2007 and has not looked back since, entertaining & educating tourists from all over the world in groups ranging from 3 – 130 persons.
Michael is also able to communicate in several languages including English, French, Italian & Spanish. Your tour with Michael will certainly have a unique and vibrant energy that will leave you many fond memories and a few extra chuckles as a pleasant send off!
Tony
Our Sunday, warrior Tony Hunter is officially a “jack of all transportation trades.” His dedication to his craft is unmatched in the industry, having driven big rigs and city buses, and now being a tour guide.
With an un unblemished safety record and over 30 years on the road, we couldn’t be happier to have Tony on board. When not on tour, Tony is a family man through and through, with two great kids and a beautiful wife. Your tour with Tony will feature a no-nonsense approach, great timing, and guaranteed return before dinner!
