I’ll never forget the excitement I felt as a kid stepping off the subway and heading into downtown Toronto. Walking up from the station, I’d look up in awe at the towering skyscrapers, as if they were reaching up to the clouds, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the city. There’s always something happening here – from live entertainment and exciting sporting events to shopping and dining at a new restaurant every day.

Throughout the tour, we’ll be walking and using Toronto’s efficient public transit system, the TTC, which includes subways, streetcars, and buses. One of the benefits of using public transit is that it gives you a little rest from walking while still offering an authentic local experience. You’ll hear interesting stories about the TTC along the way, learning how it’s become a crucial part of Toronto’s history and daily life. The TTC fare is $3.25 for 2 hours of travel, all you have to do is tap your Credit, Bank Card or Apple pay. By the end of the tour, you’ll feel comfortable navigating the TTC yourself and will be ready to explore even more of Toronto during your visit.
