City Tours in Toronto

Toronto’s city tours can mean lots of different things. You might hop on one of those big double-decker buses for an easy overview , but if you’re like me, you’ll want to get off and wander a bit. The Distillery District is a great spot to explore by foot during a walking tour, especially in the fall when the leaves crunch underfoot and the early evening light gives those brick buildings a real glow.

Bike tours are popular here too, especially around the waterfront. I always recommend taking a ride along the Martin Goodman Trail and pausing at the beaches or the quirky little café in Sunnyside. And if you like your tours a little weird and different, the haunted walking tours of the Old Town have some stories that really stick with you (even if you’re a skeptic like me).

Pro tip: If you’re planning a summer trip, pick tours that start earlier in the morning to avoid the afternoon heat and crowds. And don’t forget a bottle of water plus comfy shoes , Toronto’s streets can surprise you with hills, especially around Cabbagetown and Riverdale. So go ahead, pick a tour that fits your vibe but leave room to explore on your own too , there’s no better way to get to know the city.
