Overview

Get to know Toronto with the warmth of a local welcome on this intimate, 90-minute small group city tour. With a personable guide, room for conversation, and stories that bring each neighbourhood to life, you’ll feel a little more connected to the city with every turn.

Watch the CN Tower rise above the skyline, pass downtown’s celebrated sports stadiums, and discover the charm of Old Toronto around St. Lawrence Market. Feel Chinatown’s lively energy, admire the elegant boutiques of Yorkville’s “Mink Mile,” and spot familiar filming locations along the way.

Your smaller group makes it easy to ask questions and share the discoveries with your guide and fellow travellers. Trace Old Toronto’s heritage through St. Lawrence Market and the surrounding cobblestone streets. Continue to bustling Chinatown for a window into the city’s global flavours, making family memories, or visiting for the first time, this is a warm, personal introduction to Toronto.
