9.Pub Crawl Toronto

★★★★★★★★★★3.3 · 22 reviews · 5 hours · from $44

Spend five hours moving through three or four Toronto bars and clubs with an English-speaking local guide. Your $44 fee includes entry, skip-the-line access, and selected drink specials. Bring valid photo ID, and check pubcrawltoronto.com for the meeting point.

“The leader was nice and friendly, and did his best on the night. However, we were the only three people on the pub crawl, which really took away from the whole point of doing a crawl, you go to meet people and experience a social atmosphere. I think in situations like this, guests should be contacted beforehand and either given the option to cancel or have the crawl combined with another night if it’s busier. Instead, we paid $67 each and received one shot at a bar. While entry to venues was included, none of the pubs were busy and it would have been very easy to get in without…”

“we booked the tour thinking we might see some older pubs with a bit of history but we soon realised that wouldn't be the case. We were the oldest of the group, it was aimed at a much younger audience, however, we stuck it out and ended up having a fun night and made lots of new friends.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 6 reviews · 2 hours · from $37

Join DJ Mutts aboard the Harbour Queen for a two-hour Halifax Harbour party cruise. Dance to popular songs, make requests, and buy beer, coolers, or spirits at the onboard bar. It suits adult groups, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and weekend nights out.

“Overall, our experience was good. The ambiance, cleanliness, staff, and security were all well-maintained and appreciated. However, we had a very disappointing experience with the individual in charge of the music. We were a group of around 11 Indians and politely requested that at least one Bollywood song be played. Since we paid the same amount as all other guests, we felt this was a reasonable request—especially as the package clearly stated that music requests would be accepted. Unfortunately, the person handling the music was extremely rude and dismissive each time we approached him. His behavior made us feel unwelcome and gave the impression that people of other nationalities are…”
