I’ve lived in Toronto for 55 years
I speak English
I am a University Lecturer
Hi, I'm Jenn, your enthusiastic host to the vibrant city of Toronto! I’m all about exploring the quirky, varied neighborhoods that make this city so unique. I spend my days walking around with my big dog, discovering new and interesting spots, reading contemporary literary fiction, and catching as many indie and rock concerts as possible. Living in Cabbagetown, I know it like the back of my hand, and I’m also well-versed in Kensington Market, the Distillery District + Corktown, and Queen West West around Ossington. With a background as an arts reporter and producer, I’m incredibly invested in Toronto’s theatre, music, and art scene. Live music is my passion, and I’m always on the lookout for the next great show. If you’re into kayaking, I’d love to take you on an adventure on the Toronto Islands—it’s one of my favorite ways to enjoy the city! Let’s explore Toronto together and uncover its hidden gems!
We had the best time with Jenn exploring the city before a concert in the evening. We asked for hidden gems & random facts and she delivered with so much knowledge and insight for spots we'd otherwise maybe just walk right past. We also loved hearing about her life growing up in the city and she was great at communicating ahead of time and tailoring the route to make sense for where we wanted to start and end.

Great tour tailored to our interests and time constraints. Highly recommend! Was able to meet us at our hotel, which was super convenient, and helped select a place to have lunch after the tour.

Tailored the tour to our interests and time constraints. Did a great job communicating ahead of the tour to plan it out for us.
