Description

Ask any local and they’ll tell you: one of the best ways to experience Toronto is by exploring its most colourful and multicultural neighbourhoods — Kensington Market and Chinatown. This small group walking tour (max 12 guests) gives you an intimate introduction to both, guided by a passionate local who’ll share stories, history, and food along the way. In Kensington Market, learn how waves of diverse communities have shaped its bohemian charm over coffee or tea at a local café. Stroll past graffiti-covered walls, browse vintage shops, and stop at a food vendor to sample the neighbourhood’s global flavours. Next, step into Chinatown — one of the largest in North America — where bustling streets, rich heritage, and iconic eats collide. Your guide will share fascinating stories and offer restaurant tips for later. By the end, you’ll feel the pulse of these communities and understand why locals love them — and why you’ll want to stay and explore more.
