What to expect

1
Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library

One of Canada's most incredible rare book collections holds hundreds of thousands of gorgeous tomes that the general public can touch.

2

Kensington 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.

3
University of Toronto

Admire the architecture of the campus which is epitomized by a combination of Romanesque and Gothic Revival buildings, most dating between 1858 and 1929.

4
Old City Hall

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.

5
St. Lawrence Market

Since 1803 the city’s top spot for fresh produce, delicious eats and artisanal goods.

6

Sugar Beach

One of the city's favorite summer pastimes is flocking to Toronto's beaches and luckily there are plenty of beaches in Toronto.

7

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.

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
