The streets of Toronto take travelers on a dynamic journey, where the mood changes with each turn. With a local guide to spend a full day with you in their captivatingly diverse city, you’ll see the many faces of Canada’s cosmopolitan gem. Experience the eclectic, bohemian spirit of Kensington Market, a neighborhood known for its vintage stores and vegan cafés, or travel back to Toronto’s past as you stroll past picturesque Romanesque architecture and flip through the thick pages of stunning times at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. You could let the atmosphere change once again at Sugar Beach, an urban beach park dotted with signature pink umbrellas, or simply get lost among the independent shops of bustling Queen Street East.

In downtown Toronto, you’ll be perfectly positioned to see a bit of everything that makes the city special: art, food, beaches, and cultural contributions from all over the world. The four miles that lie between the neighborhoods of Kensington Market and Leslieville house all sorts of fascinating things to see and do, from the 200-year-old St. Lawrence Market selling artisanal goods and classic Canadian cuisine to the Distillery District – a 19th-century whisky distillery whose cobbled streets are now lined with trendy bars and boutiques. You might stop to admire the prominent Old City Hall, but perhaps your idea of interesting architecture is the somewhat eerie Leslieville Doll House, whose front garden is covered with kids’ collectibles!
