My background is in Photography and Fine Art, so my tours have a fun, creative edge, and I can take you to some of Toronto's more interesting, off-the-beaten-track neighborhoods. I also do specialist art tours and foodie tours, where I will take you around some of Toronto's greatest art galleries (including the Art Gallery of Ontario, where I am a Gallery Guide), or for foodie tours, taking you into shops selling gourmet delights and local specialties, some of which are completely unique to Toronto. My tours are all on foot, or by bicycle for certain areas, by special arrangement, all accessible by public transit. I am passionate about my city, Toronto, and would love to share that passion with you and make your visit a memorable one. -Fully licensed Niagara guide -Member of the Tourist Guide Association of Toronto -WSET certification in wine and spirits -First Aid and CPR trained -Specialist in culinary and art tours I am not a driver, and all my tours are on foot or by bicycle, and all tours meet close to public transit.

Includes Art Gallery of Ontario
Overview of your Toronto tour
This tour will include a visit to one of Toronto's major landmarks, the Frank Gehry-transformed Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) and also surrounding galleries in the area. The tour begins with a highlights tour of the AGO's many collections and its architectural history, including the Thomson Canadian and European collections, the new contemporary wing, and any of the featured exhibitions included in the general admission price. We will then visit the small galleries across from the AGO where there are both local and international contemporary artists within the charming Victorian buildings. I am an experienced art and culture tour guide and enjoy engaging people in artful conversations. I would love to show visitors a taste of Toronto's amazing art collections and one of Canada's architectural gems!

My husband and I had an amazing day. Felicia was incredibly knowledgeable regarding the ROM and AGO museums and Toronto. We learned so much. We discussed various pieces of artwork in a manner that was challenging but fun. We were then off to the Hockey Hall of Fame and we wondered through. All we say is Thank You. this was our last day in Toronto and you made it memorable.

Felicia is an excellent guide for a tour of the AGO. She is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I enjoyed our time exploring the gallery and hearing the history of the building and its renovation. The collections are vast and the current exhibitions were impressive. This is a place to return to many times! Felicia is very personable and friendly. Thanks Felicia!
Dina C.Canada
It was such a lovely time today! Felicia is very knowledgeable about the architecture of the AGO. She gave us a an intro to the Picasso blue period exhibit and a handout of his artistic timeline before we began. She mingled with our small group and made an effort to interact with us throughout the exhibit to ensure that we were all engaged - and was there ready to answer our questions. A short Q&A followed. Today's tour was a real treat for our group & we appreciate her personal insights. Excellent tour!

Felicia was just wonderful. She is friendly, professional and full of really interesting information. We communicated beforehand and I mentioned some specific things I'd like to cover and she did some great research and was able to show me things I was particularly interested in. I would recommend Felicia whole-heartedly.
Your Toronto tour itinerary
Meeting at the entrance of the Art Gallery of Ontario, we will spend around 1. 5-2 hours exploring the many collections within one of Canada's most prestigious art galleries and its only Frank Gehry designed building. The collections include Canadian, European and African galleries with many special exhibitions (changing all the time) which may include photography, sculpture or installation. We can also explore some of the smaller galleries surrounding the AGO on Dundas St. The tour will finish at the same location which is handy for both subway and streetcar (tram).
