What you'll do

In Toronto – a cultural, cosmopolitan playground with residents from around the world – the tourist trail has a variety of attractions, from bays and buildings to green spaces and gourmet greats. While it would be impossible to see them all, we can show you 10 of them! See famous architecture at the University of Toronto and Old City Hall, and stroll along urban beachfront where locals relax. Get an interactive history lesson at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library and touch pages that have seen centuries pass, and explore two of the city’s most iconic areas, Kensington Market and St. Lawrence Market – the former a bohemian borough and indie entertainment hub, and the latter a 200-year-old marketplace filled with artisanal food and wares.

Where you’ll go

The sprawling city of Toronto is peppered with must-see attractions in every corner – but the downtown area is where most of them congregate. With your handpicked local host as your GPS and guidebook, you’ll walk a route that squeezes in as many of the top sights as possible. Explore hipster hangout Kensington Market and peer into decades-old vintage stores and charming cafés. From here, St. Lawrence Market and Sugar Beach are just 2.5 miles away, each offering a very different type of entertainment: a bustling farmers’ market and a beach park with white sand covering what used to be a parking lot! End your day in the cobbled lanes of the Distillery District, a 19th-century whisky distillery housing popular bars, boutiques, and galleries.

Reviews

    We had a wonderful time with jCU guide David Ubaldo! He catered to our requests! We walked 8000 steps, but I didn’t feel it! It was an off the beaten track walking tour! And, yes! We skipped the CNN tower! Too touristy!

    We spent a day with Miriam exploring the heart of Toronto. We walked around and took in the many sights around Downtown, such as the City Halls, Cathedrals, Lawrence and Kensington Markets, Distillery District, Graffiti Alley and also took a ferry across to Ward Island to walk around the idyllic surroundings and enjoy Toronto views from there. Miriam was very flexible, organised, friendly and well-informed and we truly enjoyed our day out with her ! She continued to be helpful even after the tour on our other remaining days, feeding us with information about other aspects of Toronto. Thank you !
