About this Event

🧾 Event Description

Walk the streets where Toronto began.

Join a local guide from Tour Guys for a 90-minute walk through Old Town Toronto—home to the city’s oldest buildings, markets, churches, and stories. You’ll explore the city's early growth, surviving architecture, and the lives of the people who helped shape Toronto from muddy colonial outpost to booming Victorian metropolis.

This is a Pay What You Feel tour—there’s no fixed price. At the end, you decide what the experience was worth and tip your guide accordingly.

However: To reserve your spot, we require a small, non-refundable $6 booking fee.
This helps us keep group sizes small and avoid no-shows.
