This isn’t a scripted sightseeing tour—it’s a fully personalized experience through Toronto, shaped entirely around your interests. Whether you're drawn to the multicultural energy of Kensington Market, the cobbled charm of the Distillery District, or bold street art tucked away in hidden alleys, your host will curate a day that reflects your pace, curiosity, and travel style. From lakeside promenades to historic markets, every stop offers a deeper, more authentic glimpse into the city.

Before the tour begins, you’ll complete a short online questionnaire so we can match you with the ideal local host. They’ll reach out to design a flexible, immersive route rooted in the real Toronto—rich with neighborhood stories, local perspectives, and spontaneous discoveries. With City Unscripted, every experience is tailored, insightful, and deeply connected to the city’s culture and everyday life.
