About this experience

I'm a Torontonian that's passionate about helping people explore the many wonderful places that it has to offer.
The Toronto Landmarks tour will show you some of the most popular buildings/attractions in the downtown core. We will start our tour at Union Station and finish at St Lawrence Market.
I promote a positive, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all of my tours.

If you enjoy tours packed with historical information/facts, this is NOT the tour for you.

If you want to see cool things, explore interesting pockets of the city, and find out about the city's many great coffee spots/bars/resto's/patios/craft beer spots, this is the tour for you. :)

*Important notes*
1) This tour consists of a lot of walking (4-5 KM's). If you tire easily, walk slowly or cannot walk for extended periods of time, please look at other tour providers.
2) Pics taken could be used on social media.
