Tour description
Discover Canada's largest city on a free walking tour around downtown and Toronto's Old Town. Alongside a local guide, you'll start at Nathan Phillips Square next to the colorful Toronto Sign and the modern City Hall, pass by the Romanesque-style Old City Hall, and visit the historic St. Lawrence Market, one of the world's greatest food markets. Stroll through the Distillery District with its Victorian cobblestone streets, marvel at the towering CN Tower, and hear the story of how a muddy colonial town became a diverse global metropolis. Pick up useful local tips on peameal bacon, poutine, and the best skyline viewpoints. Free to join — at the end of the tour, simply tip your guide whatever you feel it was worth.
