Toronto Downtown Culture and Food Tour

Join me for an intimate, small-group tour of downtown Toronto. This thoughtfully crafted journey offers a unique blend of history, culture, art, and local flavours, providing an authentic experience of the city’s vibrant neighbourhoods.
We'll begin near the Royal Ontario Museum’s stunning architecture before strolling through the historic University of Toronto campus. After visiting landmarks like Soldiers' Tower and University College Circle, we’ll head to College Street for a delicious Margherita slice. Then it’s off to vibrant Kensington Market for street art, vintage shops, and a sweet local treat. In Chinatown, browse traditional stores and sip tea at a cozy shop. We'll admire Queen Street West’s iconic buildings, including the AGO and OCAD, before ending in Toronto’s downtown core with City Hall, Nathan Phillips Square.
