What to expect
Kensington Market
Private and Personalized the experience can be tailored to suit you. A good place to start your experience is at a market. Kensington has long been an artists’ hub and thanks to its distinctly wonderful eclectic and bohemian vibe it is the best hipster hangout in the city. Seek out charming cafés, the city’s best Mexican snack foods, decades-old vintage stores, record shops and tasty vegan lunch joints.
You can visit one of Canada's most incredible rare book collections holds hundreds of thousands of gorgeous tomes that the general public can touch.
The Old City Hall, located off Queen and Bay St in the heart of downtown Toronto, was designed in Romanesque-style and completed in 1899 by E.J. Lennox, a prominent Toronto architect during that time. It remains one of the city's most prominent structures.
Since 1803 the city’s top spot for fresh produce, delicious eats and artisanal goods.
Sugar Beach
One of the city's favourite summer pastimes is flocking to Toronto's beaches and luckily there are plenty of beaches in Toronto.
Distillery District
The pedestrian-only Distillery District, set in quaint 19th century buildings that once housed a large whiskey distillery, draws crowds to its cobblestone streets lined with hip indie restaurants, bars and boutiques. Art lovers come for the galleries, outdoor sculptures and dance, music and stage performances at the area's several theatres.
Queen Street West
Historic buildings, quirky independent shops, restaurants, and cafes make walking along Queen Street East the best way to get a feel for The Beach neighborhood.
See a unique house which instead of boxwood, hydrangeas and day lilies, features superheros, Hello Kitties, mermaids, and troll dolls. Owner Shirley Sumaiser has been collecting her stuffed and plastic critters for over twenty years, using them to fill up her little plot of Leslieville.
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
