Explore downtown Toronto with a local guide just for your group. Start at our Toronto Storefront in the King Edward Hotel (37 King Street East), or, for a small extra fee, have your guide meet you at your hotel or another downtown spot. Our suggested route takes in Berczy Park, the Gooderham (Flatiron) Building, the Cathedral Church of St. James and the Financial District. Step into the PATH, Toronto's underground walkway, then see Old City Hall, City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square with the Toronto Sign. Continue past Campbell House Museum to the Entertainment District, David Pecaut Square, Roy Thomson Hall and Canada's Walk of Fame, finishing at Union Station. Your tour is private, so we adapt it to you: spend longer where you like, skip what you don't, or add the Distillery District, Kensington Market or Graffiti Alley on a longer tour.
