Two buses and three guided tours
Toronto bus tour: two buses and three CN Tower tours
A Toronto bus tour on this site means one of two buses. The hop-on hop-off open-top double-decker costs $50 for a one-day or two-day pass that you use at your own pace; the night bus costs $35 for a 90-minute guided ride with a top-deck seat. Three guided tours add the CN Tower: a three-hour night drive at $98, a small-group downtown tour at $105, and a five-hour small-group day with hotel pickup at $133. Neither bus description names a boarding point.
Quick answer
The short answer. To see the city on your own schedule, take the $50 hop-on hop-off pass, the Toronto bus tour with the most reviews here, 3,031 at 4.3. For one evening on a budget, the $35 night bus is the lowest price on this page. If you want the CN Tower included and a guide, the $98 night drive scores higher, 4.7 on 643 reviews.

Which one to book, if…
One line each, matched to what each Toronto bus tour listing says.
- You want a whole day at your own pace
The $50 hop-on hop-off pass. Choose one or two days on the listing; the other four are fixed tours of 90 minutes to five hours.
- You only have an evening
The $35 night bus for 90 minutes, or the $98 night drive for three hours with the CN Tower and the Distillery District.
- Your budget is under $40
The $35 night bus is the only listing here under that line.
- You want to go up the CN Tower
Three listings include it: $98 at night, $105 downtown and $133 for a five-hour day.
- You would rather not find a meeting point
The $133 day is the only one whose description names hotel pickup.
- You want time on the water too
The $133 day and the $105 downtown tour both have a harbour cruise in their titles.
Every trip, current fare
Toronto bus tour prices side by side
Cost per hour is the fare divided by the listed length. The hop-on hop-off pass is sold by the day and the downtown tour gives 3 to 4 hours, so those cells are empty; the downtown tour works out at $26.25 to $35.00 an hour.
| Tour | Length | Price | What you get | Cost per hour | Rating |

| Toronto: Hop-On Hop-Off Open-Top Bus Tour | 1 - 2 day | $50 | Open-top bus, one-day or two-day pass | — | 4.3 · 3,031 |

Worth it?
Is a Toronto bus tour worth the money?
Per hour, the night bus costs $23.33 and the night drive $32.67. The drive costs $63 more, lasts twice as long and includes the CN Tower and a stroll through the Distillery District. No CN Tower ticket is sold on its own on this site, so a tour like this is how you go up.
The hop-on hop-off pass is a different purchase: $50 for one or two days with no fixed length. Its 4.3 is the lowest score on this page, on the most reviews, 3,031. If you will hop on and off all day, a Toronto bus tour on a pass spreads that price over many hours; if you will ride once, the night bus costs less.
The $133 day works out at $26.60 an hour over five hours, less per hour than the night drive, and it adds hotel pickup and a harbour cruise.

Bus day trips from Toronto: what the listings say
The five listings above stay in the city. For day trips from Toronto by bus, the nearest match on this site is the group days to Niagara Falls. The most reviewed is a round trip with a licensed guide, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM by its description, with entry to a boat ride and Journey Behind the Falls, at $50, rated 4.8 on 4,184 reviews. The lowest price is $49 for a full day with an optional boat ride.
None of these descriptions names the vehicle. If you are comparing one day bus trips from Toronto because you want a coach rather than a car, check how you travel on the listing before you pay. Algonquin Park and the Bruce Peninsula are 12- to 13-hour days, and all of them are compared on the day trips page.
Niagara Falls on its own: the group days, Niagara-on-the-Lake and the private cars, side by side.

What the bus listings leave out
Where to board. Before you book a Toronto bus tour, note that neither bus description names a boarding point or the stops; both are on the listing. Only the $133 day names hotel pickup.
The kind of seat. The hop-on hop-off bus is open-top. The night bus promises a top-deck seat but does not say the deck is open.
How the downtown tour moves. The $105 listing names its stops, but not whether you ride or walk between them.
Cancelling. All five listings show Free cancellation. The exact cut-off is on each listing. Every other tour in the city is in the full list of 37.
