Toronto Shane's Tours
Meeting point
Southeast corner of Sankofa Square (a.k.a. Yonge and Dundas Square), street level, at the top of the stairs that lead to Toronto's TTC Yonge and Dundas Subway Station.

Description

Toronto has been my home for 25 years and I love showing people around my city. This tour focuses on a few of my fav areas in 'The Six'. We'll start in one area and finish in Kensington Market. I usually time things so we can have a post-tour beer or coffee. Do you enjoy tours packed with historical information and facts about every building that you pass? This tour is NOT for you. Do you want to see cool things, explore interesting pockets of the city, check out colourful street art and find out about our city's many great coffee shops, bars, resto's, patios, craft beer spots? This is the perfect tour for you! *Important notes* 1) 4+ KM's of walking. If you tire easily, walk slowly or cannot walk for extended periods of time, please look at other tour providers. 2) Pics taken could be used on social media. 3) *Tours of 1-3 ppl may be combined with other tour groups during busy travel seasons.*

Absolutely amazing Shane 👏

I highly recommend Shanes tour. Shane took us to sights and places we would not have seen on our own. He made it fun and he was very professional. His support was invaluable in pointing out eating places he recommended and other areas he thought we would enjoy. He read our needs very well. I would say a very big yes to Shanes tour. Thank you, Shane, for an awesome day.

Operator response

Keren, thank you so much for the positive review and very kind words! As I mentioned in my message to you, it really made my day! I'm glad that you all had fun in Toronto and enjoyed my tour. Continued safe travels and thanks again! :) Toronto Shane

Toronto day tour from a local's perspective

Shane was a great time! We try to book food / drinks tours in any city we travel to, even if we've been there before, as a great way to meet locals and experience what they do for fun. This tour did not disappoint! Shane tailored the entire day around our preferences, personalities, and schedule. At the end of the day, we were full, ready for a nap, and had a ton of places to either get back to or try out next. I wish we had more time in Toronto so we could've gotten back to them all. Oh, and Shane was pretty fun as well! I'd highly recommend Shane's tours to anyone travelling to Toronto with a few extra hours to spare.

Operator response

Laura, thank you so much for the kind words and positive feedback! It was great meeting you and your hubbie and I enjoyed showing you around my city. I hope the rest of your year goes well! Shane

Exceptional tour with an Exceptional Tour Guide Shane Dixon

We are quite grateful to our Tour guide Shane Dixon for an amazing tour of Toronto! We learned so much about the city, saw so much and tasted great treats along the way, not to mention good drinks too. We could have never accomplished what we did on our tour without the knowledge, energy, professionalism, charm and excitement Shane as our guide showed us! It is hard to find exceptional people these days, and we definitely found that in Shane, a wonderful person with great experience and love of life!

Operator response

Thank you for the awesome feedback Jill! It was a pleasure meeting you and your hubbie and I'm happy that you enjoyed your tour of T.O. You're an interesting and very inspirational couple! Thank you again for the support and best of luck in the months ahead!

Your Best Choice

Shane’s tour was the best - despite the cool, windy weather we got to see Toronto from a local’s perspective w/o missing some its landmarks! Sharing some peameal and drinks with the friendly Torontonians, we became friends! Go Maple Leafs! Surely worthy of another visit! 5 star recommendation.

Operator response

Thank you for this fantastic feedback Judy and Maggie! I had a great time showing you both around my city and I'm glad you enjoyed your experience. Thank you again for your support and continued safe travels!

Shane’s tour is a fantastic experience !

It was my first time in Toronto and I chose to do a Tour with Shane. Shane is a great guy, who knows very well his city and brings you to his favourite places. Definitely worth as you discover the city with a different perspective and you explore areas you won’t do on your own ! Shane adapts to your needs and we adjusted on a cold day to go for some places that were more appropriate than the planned tour and it worked out fantastically!

Operator response

Thank you for the support Christophe and for the very kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed my tour despite the nasty weather. Thank you again and all the best this year!
