Guelph driving school did a terrific job in my driving lessons. My instructor was Salman and he was very patient in explaining how to make smooth transitions in difficult driving conditions. I passed my road test in the first go. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who's looking to learn safe driving techniques.

Ive had nothing but a great experience with Guelph Driving School. I started the process of getting my G2 and the BDE course just before the pandemic had started. the inclass portion taught by Arfan was informational and helped me learn the ropes before getting on the road.
Starting my in car, i was not a great driver. Salman took his time and showed extreme patience when it came to me learning the skills. his expertise in teaching these skills is apparent. Salman is very knowledgeable on the road test conditions for success and stresses them every time you drive. I recommend taking extra

Don't go to this driving school. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. Arfan is the absolute worst driving instructor in history. I booked driving lessons 2 months in advance of my road test as I wanted to do one lesson a week leading up to my test, and he only showed up for the very first lesson. During this lesson, he was on his phone the entire time and was not teaching me anything.
When I asked him questions on how to parallel park he literally told me to "just do it". After our lesson, he told me to text him the dates that I am available next, and when I did, he did not get back
