How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
The sprawling cityscape of Toronto is as diverse as the community that calls it home, and with a local leading the way, you’ll explore several surprising sides of this multicultural metropolis. From bohemian boroughs to urban beaches, all linked by distinct neighborhoods, we’ll make sure you see it all. You might stop and admire iconic old buildings – or perhaps your idea of prominent architecture is the Leslieville Doll House, a home whose front garden has been planted with kids’ toys and quirky collectibles. Feeling peckish from all the sightseeing? Grab a snack at the centuries-old St. Lawrence Market, or sit down for a Canadian classic at a charming café in buzzing Queen Street, a major thoroughfare and treasure trove of entertainment.

Our tour guide Matti showed us many different parts of Toronto and introduced our family to multiple spaces within the city, outside the attractions most tourists see, all while being very friendly and easy to talk to. It was a great experience that we'd definetly want to recommend.
