Tripadvisor review: Toronto Private Custom Walking Tour - Hidden Gems & Highlights We had just landed in Toronto for a 30 hour visit . I was with my 13 year old son for a mother -son bonding weekend. Jenn did a great job modifying the tour to fit our levels of energy and interests. She really put time into thinking of a tailored experience for us and was quick to adjust as my son got tired. I really appreciated her perspectives gained from working in the Toronto entertainment industry as a journalist .

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.
