What people are saying about Royal Ontario Museum

Overall rating

4.6
(601 reviews)

The tour was excellent, very intimate (there were 5 of us in a big SUV). It was very interesting and relevant. We went to places where the buses would not have been able to go. The price was very affordable too. The tour lasted a little longer than expected due to an unforeseen event, we never felt that the driver wanted to finish before. The only thing is that we were not offered a cruise but it is not a big deal. Very pleasant, I recommend ☺️

It was nice but I was not overall impressed with any out of the ordinary and then they charge more for the exhibits. Maybe not worth all the money I paid

Overall a solid intro to Toronto. The bus stops were tricky to find at times but it worked out fine.

Meredith was very nice ! The way the tells the stories are very scary! I won’t sleep tonight !

the schedule. we need to extend the schedule a little later
