Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Itinerary

  • Kensington Market (Pass By)

    Your host will plan a private and personalised itinerary based on your preferences, but you could start off at market and go from there. Kensington has long been an artistsā€™ hub and thanks to its distinctly wonderful eclectic and bohemian vibe it is the best hipster hangout in the city. Seek out charming cafĆ©s, the cityā€™s best Mexican snack foods, decades-old vintage stores, record shops and tasty vegan lunch joints.

  • Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library (Pass By)

    You can learn about Toronto's history at one of Canada's most incredible rare book collections which holds hundreds of thousands of gorgeous tomes that the general public can touch.

  • University of Toronto (Pass By)

    Toronto's culture can be experienced at the University. Admire the architecture of the campus which is epitomized by a combination of Romanesque and Gothic Revival buildings, most dating between 1858 and 1929.

  • Old City Hall (Pass By)

    Perhaps you fancy a stop at 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.

  • St. Lawrence Market (Pass By)

    Since 1803 the cityā€™s top spot for fresh produce, delicious eats and artisanal goods. It will open your eyes to the real taste of Toronto and a visit can be included in your experience.

  • N/A (Pass By)

    One of the city's favourite summer pastimes is flocking to Toronto's beaches and luckily there are plenty of beaches in Toronto. Your host can point you to the best beaches to suit your taste.

  • Distillery District (Pass By)

    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.

  • Leslieville Dollhouse (Pass By)

    You can 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.
