Itinerario
Nel mercato di Kensington, per un caffè o un tè in un bar locale, scoprirai come il quartiere si è evoluto da un mercato ebraico della classe operaia a un mercato bohémien della classe operaia. Diverse ondate di insediamenti immigrati nel corso del secolo scorso hanno spruzzato colori, suoni e sapori dai quattro angoli della terra in tutto il mercato di Kensington, eppure non c'è un McDonald's o Starbucks da vedere. Le grandi multinazionali sono decisamente sgradite e difficilmente migreranno a loro volta in qualsiasi momento. Uno dei tanti punti salienti di questo tour è la visita ad un venditore di cibo locale per risvegliare le vostre papille gustative al sapore internazionale del mercato di Kensington. A parte la sua avversione per le multinazionali, il quartiere è noto per i suoi festival (la domenica pedonale è una delle preferite), i negozi vintage, i caffè, le panetterie, i bar a muro e molti, molti muri di mattoni nudi che sono stati a lungo coperto con murales di graffiti (spesso su richiesta dei proprietari degli edifici). Questi murales sono quasi tutti straordinari e sono diventati una delle caratteristiche iconiche del quartiere. La tua guida locale sarà felice di elaborare qualsiasi elemento del quartiere che trovi particolarmente interessante in questo tour di Kensington Market a Toronto: tutti noi amiamo molto questa zona!
Come abbiamo detto, proprio accanto al mercato di Kensington c'è Chinatown, una delle più grandi comunità cinesi del Canada, e una delle più grandi Chinatown del Nord America. Una delle zone più trafficate della città, c'è sempre qualcosa che accade e racconta sempre. In questa parte del tuo tour a Toronto, la tua guida ti illuminerà con alcune storie locali preferite e una storia intrigante che circonda la Chinatown di Toronto. Lungo il percorso, probabilmente riceverai anche consigli sui ristoranti, che possono davvero tornare utili dopo il tuo tour a Toronto Chinatown: fidati di noi, ci sono molti posti dove mangiare qui.

I live in the city and took my visiting parents on this tour mid-September on a Tuesday. So we were the only ones, and our tour guide Robert was really great. He’s very knowledgeable and we also ended up chatting about other places we’ve visited as well. I loved we had some time to pop into some of the Kensington vintage stores as well. Snagged up a great jacket for a good price. I took down his restaurant recs and after we ended up at one of them for lunch. Highly recommend!
Very informative and interesting tour of 2 vibrant neighborhoods. Enjoyed walking and seeing local businesses
Kieran was a good guide who told interesting stories of the area. I enjoyed the tour and highly recommend it.
Wonderful introduction to Kensington and Chinatown. Jackie, our guide, shared stories about the history of the areas and personal experiences. It was truly an insider’s look at the communities and not to be missed.
First of all, I would like to highlight the exceptional work of our guide, Robert; he was very friendly and knowledgeable. This tour aims to introduce you to the different cultural communities that have helped build these vibrant neighborhoods. Through anecdotes and meetings with local merchants, you will understand that it is possible to preserve your identity in a big city like Toronto. You will also discover new restaurants and shops away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Guide didn’t show up. After 45 minutes we called Viator who immigrated issued a refund. We walked the expected tour route ourselves afterwards. Would have liked it to have been guided.
Hi Chris, We are sorry to learn of your recent experience while hoping to explore Toronto with us. Looking at our records, it seems that the system had allowed your booking - unfortunately- within only a few hours of the noted start time. This did not allow our team to assign a leader to your departure - of just 2 people- but had others been booked onto the same date then this would not have been an issue. We are terribly sorry for this inconvenience, and assure you that we have noted this problem with our team in order to ensure this does not happen in future. Thank you for letting us know of your experience, and we hope that you still did have a great time in the city. With kind regards, Tu
Tour was MEH. Sights and locations were interesting however I just felt like it was a lot of walking and not a lot of information. Expected much more from our guide, felt like I could have done the self-guided option and learn more that way.
Our tour guide Kieran really brought this experience to life. He had a lot of interesting and knowledgeable information to share and was very well-spoken in his way of storytelling. It was really refreshing that he showed interest in our backgrounds and experience within the city (as it was far from our first time in Toronto) to be able to connect, relate, and share information. He was engaging and helpful, humorous and witty, and overall connected with us beyond what we expected going into it. The coffee shop trip being included was a plus. We missed him as soon as our tour was over! Thanks again Kieran!
A good way to learn about the history of Toronto! I'm glad I took a tour of this area as it helped showcase the highlights.
Had an amazing tour with Joann. I was the only one and she still ran the tour. A real knowledgeable guide. She pointed out many landmarks that I've passed often and didn't know much about. As it was just me, she was great at customising the tour. There were two stops at great local businesses for food and drink which were included. Interesting tour and great value.
