    Just be aware they may cancel with short notice.

    The only bad thing was the start of this tour. After only having 4 hours sleep the night prior we woke up early enough to catch a bus and train from our missisagua hotel, with this being the last day in Toronto. It was about an hour before our activity and we get a message saying they cancelled due to smoke. This made me very upset due to the fact we had started our journey and they would have expected a 24 hour cancelation notice for us. This meant we could have slept in a bit longer as well if they told us the night before, and caused some worry as I had a different walking tour booked in the evening with this same company and was this going to be cancelled too with such short notice? I did get a refund though so that was the good thing. The weather did change and they did offer us to join an hour later free of charge which was nice, because it wouldn't have worked out for us at a later date. Just be aware the company may cancel at short notice but will refund if this happens. The tour was great, the only downfall was when we stopped at a cathedral there was a half clothed man laying in the corner so it was a bit disturbing to see that in a tourist area. Especially with children in the group I think that location should have been moved away from that unpleasant sight.

    Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Toronto.

    How much does Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $25 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 Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Toronto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour?

    +

    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 Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour?

    +

    Around 0 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour 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 Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour?

    +

    Included: All Fees and Taxes. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour?

    +

    This tour departs from the courtyard outside of the Hockey Hall of Fame on Front Street (10 Front Street West - corner of Front and Yonge Streets). You will be meeting your guide outside. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour 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 Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour?

    +

    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.

    Is Hidden Toronto: Secrets, Oddities & Wonderful Things Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
