We had a very nice tour, and recommend Leon.
Nick C.United States
Great time touring with Leon who was flexible and accommodating for our car/walk first time Toronto visit. Our goal was to cover a lot of ground and get good insights and tips from a Local....we weren't disappointed! Everything we hoped for and made a friend in the process. Can highly recommend Leon.
Richard L.United States
Leon was great. Very relaxed and responsive to our questions and to the things we wanted to see. Even modified our meeting site to accomodate us. Would definitely recommend him for your Toronto tour.
Christine M.United States
Leon met us at our condo, since the weather was uncertain he drove us to various spots, where we got out and explored. He was knowledgable about Toronto but having lived in many parts of the world he could add flavor and perspective at times. Enjoyed it a great way to start our visit. Thank you again Leon.
Your Toronto tour itinerary
This fun walking tour brings you into the very beginning of the city; Kensington market was the landing place of the first immigrants to the city and nowadays it is a vibrant young neighborhood with many shops, restaurants and bars that are the heartbeat of the city. The neighborhood is constantly changing without losing its charming character. Here you have ample time and opportunity to shop, taste and enjoy the local delicatessen. From Kensington market we continue to Chinatown; the third largest Chinese community in North America. You truly imagine yourself in a different country. We visit Queen Street West and continue to the downtown of Toronto with its financial and entertainment district. This is a fun tour to experience the variety and diversity of Toronto. Depending on the starting location of the tour we can do this in reverse order.
