This is a chance to get to know downtown Toronto's unique cultural and natural heritage. I have a Master's degree in urban culture and a thriving interest in Toronto's heritage. I designed this tour to walk you through some of the most significant and interesting Downtown spaces. Along the way we'll look at how Toronto grew and how's its growing. Our tour can be carried out come rain or shine. There will be time to take it all in breaks, take selfies and find some snacks or souvenirs at some of Toronto's best local shops.
