The best private layover tours & experiences with locals

Got a long layover in Canada’s largest city? Here’s something to consider: Escape the airport with a local insider and get out into the city to explore! Even if you have just a few hours, it’s more than enough time for Toronto layover tours that show you a mix of the top attractions and local secrets. Downtown Toronto may be a skyscraper-lined maze to the uninitiated, but when you have a local leading the way, you won’t get overwhelmed. Toronto airport layover tours with City Unscripted let you discover everything this Canadian powerhouse is known for: art, food, beaches, and cultural contributions from all over the world. Toronto is at your doorstep – get out and see it!

Meet some of our local hosts around the world

Like the people who travel with us, they have different backgrounds and interests – but they’re all so passionate about the place they call home, they choose to spend their free time sharing it with the like-minded travelers matched to them.

We’ve handpicked them and we’ll match you to your perfect one!

See Toronto on your layover

If you have a few hours to kill before catching your next flight, you have two choices. You could sit in a stuffy airport lounge on an uncomfortable seat and watch the time tick by. Or, you could meet up with a local insider and head out on a whirlwind experience of the city on the ultimate Toronto airport layover tours. Your layover gives you just enough time for an experience that paints the full picture of this exhilarating city. From Romanesque architecture to a 19th-century whisky distillery today lined with trendy bars and boutiques, Toronto layover tours are enchantingly diverse.

Get a local to lead the way

We understand feeling frazzled at the thought of leaving the airport in the middle of your layover. Exploring an unfamiliar city is daunting, and the last thing you’d want to do is make the wrong move and miss your flight! But on Toronto layover tours with a local, you can set your worries aside. Your local guide will come to meet you at the airport and be your GPS, guidebook, and even transport coordinator every step of the way. You won’t take a wrong turn when you have a local to plan your Toronto airport layover tours – and we’ll get you back to the airport with time to spare!

Toronto tailored to you

It’s impossible to squeeze all of Toronto’s attractions into just a few hours, but our Toronto airport layover tours certainly try! Canada’s cultural epicenter is packed with incredibly varied attractions, whether you’re a history lover, culture connoisseur, insatiable foodie, or city slicker. And our Toronto layover tours are as diverse as the city’s sights. Your local guide will learn a little about you and plan an experience that’s expertly tailored to you. So even though you have limited time on your layover, you can rest assured that we’ll help you make every minute count.

Latest reviews from our guests

The most exciting part is when my local tour host was when Kena accompanied where there are cherry blossoms. She brought me to a cozy decent restaurant where I ate my lunch.
