What you'll do

In a cityscape as vast and sprawling as Toronto, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed. Skip the disorientation and get right into the good stuff with a local insider who can navigate the streets of the city with their eyes shut. You’ll get a masterclass in making your way around Toronto, Canada’s multicultural gem with a myriad of attractions. See the iconic Romanesque-style Old City Hall before getting a true taste of Toronto (there’s more to Canadian cuisine than poutine!) at St. Lawrence Market, a local hotspot of shopping and food. Get to grips with the lay of the land as your host helps you cut through the heart of the maze-like downtown area, and end your experience in Queen Street East, a center for entertainment and socialization.

Where you’ll go

If you can navigate the crowded downtown area of Toronto, where every road beckons with a new attraction and deciding where to go next can be utterly daunting, you’ll be able to make your way around the rest of the city like a pro. You’ll squeeze in a little bit of everything as you move from Queen Street West to Queen Street East three miles away. From the Toronto Old City Hall, you’ll head to Sugar Beach, a white-sands waterfront where locals soak up the sun, then make your way to the pedestrian-only Distillery District, a 19th-century whisky distillery that now houses bars, boutiques, and galleries. From here, you’ll walk along the length of Queen Street – and maybe choose a quirky café for a quick bite and a Q&A session with your host!

Reviews

    Our tour was set up via email prior to our trip. We booked a 3 hour private Toronto overview city tour. Our guide, James, added everything to our tour that we wanted to see and also made suggestions of other sites to visit. James was awesome! Super knowledgeable and also flexible as we changed our minds several times about where to have lunch. He took photographs of our group and importantly, kept the pace at a comfortable level. We stopped when needed and he made sure we had good directions for our next stop after the end of the tour. I'd highly recommend City Unscripted and James!

    Booked a 3 hour walking tour of the city and right off the bat I was impressed in the way my preferences in a tour guide were taken Into account as Chris was the right fit! Chris showed was very responsive and asked the right question before our tour as he catered it to our specific needs and interests. The tour itself went great; we started at St. Lawrence market then made our way to distillery district, cabbage town, and Kensington Market where we had some amazing food recommended by Chris. He was very personable throughout our time together and I especially like that even though he was giving a tour, his dialogue felt more like conversation as opposed to narration.
