Great Experience
The tour was excellent we learned so much about the city and had a wonderful time doing so! Really recommend!
via Tripadvisor
A wonderful tour given a knowledgable, and wonderful person
Over the years, I have been on a number of walking tours; Washington DC, Rome, Stockholm, Chicago; this was one of the best I have been on. Matti is a lovely person, full of gentle wit and humour along with a host of information on his home town. I make no secret of the fact that I have coeliac and he went out of his way to accommodate my needs. My friend and I are far more knowledgeable of many facets of Toronto and we visited many fascinating parts of the city in the course of our walking tour. I cannot recommend Matti highly enough.
Response from the operator: It was a delight to have you. Thank you so much for coming and being a part!

Touronno is the best way to discover the city!
Matti is a gem! He showed me around downtown, Church Street, the Ontario government buildings, Sankofa Square, and more! I learned about some of the iconic architecture and artwork that makes Toronto unique, and he had amazing knowledge about the various places we saw, from World War I monuments to iconic gay bars. Thank you, Matti!
Response from the operator: Thanks for coming along! It was a delight to have you and I'm glad you had a great time!

Fun and personable guide with a lot of great area knowledge
Matti is a tour guide whose passion and knowledge for his chosen focuses in Toronto (and around) comes out in his very enjoyable tours. He informs and he delights. Definitely recommended for people who want deep dives in the metropolis.
Response from the operator: Thanks for coming along Randy! It was great to have you!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Toronto.
How much does Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems cost?
+
Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Toronto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Toronto is not rushed.
Is Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Toronto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Toronto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Toronto and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Toronto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Toronto?
+
On Outty we rank every Toronto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Niagara Falls Tour from Toronto: Boat Ride & Journey Behind Falls, Niagara Falls Canada Day Tour From Toronto + Boat Cruise Option, Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Toronto?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Toronto?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems?
+
Included: Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems?
+
Just steps away from many of Toronto's most interesting and exciting neighborhoods, this iconic location is an ideal place to start the tours with easy access to PATH, TTC and Yonge street! Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Customizable Walking Tour of Toronto's Hidden Gems?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
