This isn’t a one-size-fits-all itinerary—it’s a personalized walking experience through Toronto’s neighborhoods, stories, and spaces that reflect your unique interests. Whether you’re curious about the city’s architectural heritage, eager to explore its multicultural food scene, or drawn to the creative energy of spots like Kensington Market, your host will shape a route that brings Toronto to life in a way guidebooks can’t.

After booking, you’ll complete a short online questionnaire so we can match you with a local host who knows the city inside out. They’ll reach out to design a flexible, immersive route full of spontaneous moments, cultural insights, and hidden corners—revealing the real Toronto, beyond the typical tourist trail.
