This self-guided GPS audio walk will take you along the two busiest streets of Toronto: Front Street and Yonge Street.
This tour will be Toronto tourism on speed: we're walking past most of the biggest attractions and landmarks in an hour. Join me while we walk past the Skydome, the CN Tower, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and maybe catch a festival in Yonge and Dundas Square.
Mid afternoon to the evening is the best time to take this tour. Ideally, take the walk during the Spring and Summer when baseball season is in full swing.
Places to stop along the way include Steam Whistle Brewing, Yonge and Dundas Square, Nathan Phillips Square, and any Tim Horton's if you're hungry.
The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.
