I'm a Torontonian that's passionate about helping people explore the many wonderful places that it has to offer. The Toronto Landmarks tour will show you some of the most popular buildings/attractions in the downtown core. We will start our tour at Union Station and finish at St Lawrence Market. I promote a positive, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all of my tours. If you enjoy tours packed with historical information/facts, this is NOT the tour for you. If you want to see cool things, explore interesting pockets of the city, and find out about the city's many great coffee spots/bars/resto's/patios/craft beer spots, this is the tour for you. :) *Important notes* 1) This tour consists of a lot of walking (4-5 KM's). If you tire easily, walk slowly or cannot walk for extended periods of time, please look at other tour providers. 2) Pics taken could be used on social media. 3) *Tours of 1-3 ppl may be combined with other tour groups during busy travel seasons.*

Shane Dixon Tour Guide
Saw so many exciting, interesting, and fun things in Toronto. Ate yummy foods thanks to our amazing tour guide Shane Dixon. He was filled with so much information to tell us, history and fun! Definitely a lot of walking but that is what made it interesting and how we were able to see and learn so much about the city. Shane was the best part of our tour, meeting an exceptional person is sometimes hard to come by these days and that is who Shane is. A joy to be around !
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review Jill! I really enjoyed meeting you and your husband and I had an awesome time showing you around Toronto. My favourite part was the post-tour drinks and our interesting conversation. Thank you again for your support and I hope the rest of your year goes well!

Response from the operator: Thank you for the great feedback! It was nice meeting you and I really enjoyed showing you around the T Dot! Best of luck the rest of the year! :)

Amazing Experience with Shane!!!!!
Shane was probably the best guide that my girlfriend and I could’ve had for our first time in Toronto. He is very passionate about what he does, and you could tell that he really tried to tailor our experience to our specific wants and needs with the tour. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend the whole time. He read between the lines with our requests for things to see, and he created a tour that hit those places as well places he thought we would like based on our requests. He did an amazing job, and this tour was an excellent price!!! I was shocked that we got a 3 hour tour out of it. He even bought my girlfriend a snack to try?? Such a great experience. I would recommend Shane and his tours to any and everyone coming to visit Toronto. We had never been here before, but even after the tour, he provided a list of the best restaurants and things to do in the area, as well as price ranges for each. I do tours often when I travel, as I see it as an effective and cheap way to see so much stuff in a short time. This is by far one of the best I’ve ever done. Thank you, Shane, for your attentiveness and laid back attitude throughout our tour!
Response from the operator: WOW!! Jayce, thanks so much for the kind words and awesome review! :) It was so nice to meet you guys too and I’m happy that you enjoyed my tour. Wishing you a safe trip back to the U.S.! Take care and I hope the rest of your year goes well.

Excellent and engaging walking tour of Toronto
Our tour with Shane was superb - the highlight of our stay in Toronto. He was so engaging and informative, and gave us a real sense of the diverse nature of the city. From the colourfulness of Kensington Market to the raw, artistic energy of Graffiti Alley, we ventured into corners of Toronto we would never have found on our own. These neighbourhoods showed us a different and unexpected side to the city, standing in sharp contrast to the gleaming skyscrapers downtown. Shane was so knowledgeable and justifiably proud of his wonderful city - he was a great guide, very enthusiastic and full of energy, and it was lovely to round off the tour sharing a craft ale with him in one of his favourite spots. Fabulous - would highly recommend to anyone visiting Toronto!
Response from the operator: Thank you for the kind words Stephen! It was great meeting you and Tim and I'm glad you enjoyed your tour of Toronto. We have a great city and I'm happy that I had a chance to help you discover some of my fav areas, especially Graffiti Alley and Kensington Market. Best of luck on the rest of your Canada tour and continued safe travels! Shane

Wonderful tour guide for our family trip to Toronto
Shane was great, he took all over Toronto we walked to so many things I can't name them all. We stopped at a cute coffee shop and went to Kensington Market, that was a neat community, we walked through Chinatown. Shane talked and fit in like an old friend. I'm really glad we got a guide for our family trip to Toronto and that he was so great! 10/10 recommend!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Toronto Landmarks: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Toronto.
How much does Toronto Landmarks cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Toronto Landmarks take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Toronto Landmarks worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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 Toronto Landmarks?
+
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 Toronto Landmarks suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Toronto Landmarks?
+
Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Toronto Landmarks 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 Toronto Landmarks?

Not included: Food/drinks - If you need to stop along the way for a coffee, beverage, pint, snacks, a me; Personal expenses; Tickets/entrance to any attractions - CN Tower and Rogers Centre; and Uber, taxi's, transit, etc. For areas that are very spread out, an Uber might be needed. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Toronto Landmarks?
+
Corner of Bay Street and Front Street West (outdoors, street level - Beside the BIG Union Station sign) Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Toronto Landmarks offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+

Is Toronto Landmarks wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
