Recently returned from a 2-day camping trip to Tobermory and the Bruce Peninsula with Northbound Tours, and it was an incredible experience. Our guide, Alan, was absolutely wonderful. He took care of every detail with so much care, completely removing the stress of travel so we could simply be present.We had perfect weather for hiking and exploring the breathtaking, turquoise waters of Georgian Bay, Flowerpot Island, The Grotto, and Lion’s Head. We even saw chipmunks along the trails by day, and fireflies, the Milky Way, and a brilliant Strawberry Moon at night.As beautiful as the landscapes were, what truly made this trip unforgettable was the people. It is a rare and beautiful thing to find such genuine human connection while traveling. Everyone in our group of 12 was so kind and naturally looked out for one another. On our final hike, we even met a solo traveler who clicked with us so effortlessly that she instantly became part of our circle. Alan managed to bring complete strangers together and create a space where we felt like a close-knit family by the end of the weekend.And like they say, it’s not about the destination, but the journey and friends we made along the way. This trip was absolute proof of that. If you want a beautiful adventure that leaves you with a full heart, book this tour and ask for Alan! More...

We had an amazing experience with Northbound Tours! We all had a wonderful time with Joe, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and perfect for our group. We followed the itinerary as planned, but we never felt rushed. Joe gave us plenty of time to roam around, explore Niagara Falls at our own pace, take photos, and enjoy the attractions.The communication before our trip was also excellent. Everything was smooth, well-organized, and easy from the booking process right through the day of the tour.Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Northbound Tours to anyone looking for a fun, stress-free, and well-organized tour. Thank you, Joe, for making our trip so memorable! More...

The Mystery Trip was amazing from beginning to end. The booking process was simple and easy. The Driver was friendly and fantastic. Our Tour guide Charley was so amazing. She was knowledgeable, friendly, fun and made the day incredible! Lots of variety in the mystery trip and would highly recommend to anyone! I can’t wait to book my next adventure with this amazing company! The only only thing was that the bus was not air conditioned, well, it was, but you could barely feel it, and the day was so hot that there was little reprieve from the heat. Next time i will freeze a few water bottles to bring. Only mentioning it so that people can plan accordingly. I WOULD RECOMMEND NORTHBOUND TOURS OVER AND OVER AGAIN! 10+/10 More...

Long but satisfying day. Our trip to Algonquin Park and Ragged falls was Fantastic. Meet point was in the car drop off point outside Yorkdale Station, early morning start (7:30 am Return at around 8pm. We booked a few weeks before and travelled in June midweek. 2+ hr kayak and mini hike to ragged falls was great and not too taxing. (take insect repellent and sun cream). Hike up to view point again was relatively easy going steep in parts but not difficult and fantastic views (sounds like autumn would be great to see the maples in full colour) Trainers would be fine. Regular stop offs for washroom breaks and Snacks. I’d recommend take a few snacks/picnic yourself, and a water bottle to refill.We had a stop at Webber’s on the way back for a fantastic char grilled burger even the veggie burger was great. Travel was in mini bus with our fantastic driver, guide, photographer, historian, entertainer Joe. More...

I had an amazing experience on the Toronto to Algonquin Park day trip booked through GetYourGuide. The itinerary was perfectly plannedand offered a great mix of adventure, sightseeing, and nature One of the highlights was canoeing on the beautiful Oxtongue River, surrounded by stunning scenery and peaceful wilderness. We also visited the breathtaking Ragged Falls, which was an unforgettable sight. The short trek through the forest added to the experience and gave us a chance to fully appreciate the natural beauty of Algonquin. A special mention goes to our guide, Chris, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the entire trip. He took care of each and every participant, ensuring everyone felt comfortable, included, and had a great time. His enthusiasm, knowledge, and attention to detail made the experience even more enjoyable. Chris went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having fun right until the very last minute of the tour. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience the beauty of Algonquin Park in a single day. It was well organized, memorable, and made even better by an exceptional guide.

I had an amazing experience with Northbound Tours, especially with Chris! From the very beginning, Chris was right on time at Yorkdale and came fully prepared with all the necessary equipment — torches, blankets, and everything needed to make the journey comfortable and stress-free. He made everyone feel comfortable throughout the entire trip and clearly put a lot of thought into the experience, even arranging a TV during the journey for entertainment. Most importantly, he made sure we reached safely and brought us back safely as well.Chris was professional, caring, and extremely well-organized.

I bought my husband an Ice Fishing excursion with Northbound Tours for our anniversary/valentines day... he had never been, so this would be his first time. .. upon his return home he said he enjoyed himself.One key point I would like to mention: the parking/pick-up/drop off location at Yorkdale mall is not the most convenient on wknds for people who don't take TTC, who don't have the availability of being dropped off and picked up later (as in my husbands case), we come from Etobicoke/Mississauga border.Yorkdale mall has security which is great, however it states you can only park for 5 hrs, so parking at even 8:45 and returning at 6/6:30pm is definitely longer than 5 hours, its 9 hrs and more... who wants to get a parking ticket, not us!!The suggested (free) parking was Wilson Station which is not a place I would leave my vehicle for any reason as our understanding is the security there is very minimal. Not only that but my husband would have had to navigate a transit system that he doesn't know, to park at Wilson and get to Yorkdale to be picked up, and then after arriving back at Yorkdale, do the same upon his return to our vehicle. Why would we incur an extra expense of TTC fares?!?I guess the saving grace was that my husband did have a good time, and near the end of the day caught a small perch.I'd like to suggest though that a few other places be offered for pick up/drop-off, as well as Yorkdale mall.Thank-you,Sandy & Adam More...

Northbound Tours were fantastic to deal with from booking, answering all my questions and then moving us from home to the airport and back again. Our drive was Joe, he was excellent. Contacted us the day before we were to leave to communicate pickup times and then again suggesting we change times due to the weather wanting to make sure we arrived to the airport on time. He asked our preference in what we wanted to listen to on the radio which was very nice. As soon as our plane landed I received a text letting me know he was there waiting I just had to text him when we were through customs, had our luggage and ready to be picked up. Once I texted him he was there within 10 minutes which was wonderful. I would recommend Northbound Tours to anyone needing transportation to the airport. They were professional from start to finish.

Q&As

I love being my own boss. Some days are smooth, some days require more effort. I've always loved the service industry as my personality suits it. Connecting with people and helping them is what I like to do.

It's been a long time coming. After helping another company triple their size in revenue and team, I figured it would make more sense to try and do it for myself. It'll be a long road to get there, but every journey starts with a step. I just honestly love tours and transportation. It's taken me to work on 4 continents including Antarctica.

Honesty and experience - that's what I'll give you. Also, value! Prices are way too high in my opinion these days. I'll try and keep it fair and I'm happy to explain everything so you know what you're getting.

I provide transportation services and tourism too should you need a guide. I can do these online or in person, 99% would be in person but I'm open to assisting with planning too.

Covid 19 turned the industry upside down. My vehicles are cleaned and we provide face masks and sanitizer if you wish to use them.

Services

I have a 14 passenger Ford transit which is equipped with WIFI, Games Console (N64), Karaoke, Netflix, Youtube, High roof, extended cargo for baggage.

I also have a number of contacts who can provide 16 seater Mercedes sprinters, school buses for 47 and 56 seater motor coaches

I've been working as a guide since 2008. As a group leader I can help with managing guests, chaperoning, leading and entertaining. I've done this in London, New York, Antarctica, Quebec, Chicago etc etc - I'm a licensed tour guide in Niagara falls and I regularly run trips to nature locations.
