Overview

Discover downtown Toronto on a 3-hour walking tour with a local guide, from the historic Old Town to the modern skyline.

Meet your guide at our storefront on King Street East and walk through St. Lawrence past Berczy Park, the Flatiron Building and St. James Cathedral. Head up Yonge Street into the Financial District and step into the PATH, the city's underground walkway. Visit Old and New City Hall, Nathan Phillips Square and the Toronto Sign, then continue west past Campbell House to the Entertainment District, Roy Thomson Hall and Canada's Walk of Fame, finishing at Union Station.

Along the way, your guide shares how the small town of York became Canada's largest and most multicultural city, plus tips on where to eat, what to see and how to get around for the rest of your trip.

This is a gratuity-based tour: the price covers the booking fee and you tip your guide at the end.
