This year, Buzz Tours is celebrating our 10th year anniversary of delivering walking tours in Toronto.
Buzz Tours has received awards for the past few years, and in this year we have been listed as one of the top 10 tours in North America.
Our city guides have been in Toronto for a long time and know the city very well.
Our guides don't just read from the scripts, they tell great stories and they also have a great sense of humour.
With your guide, you will learn how to navigate your way through the centre of Toronto, while learning about the city and seeing many of Toronto's great locations and buildings. By the end of the tour, you will feel more like a local, than a visitor.
You will meet your guide (and the others in our small group) in Toronto's Entertainment District, which is home of many live theatres, restaurants, bars, nightclubs and concert halls.
With our small group size, we are able to engage with our guests in conversations and questions along the entire walk. We like to refer to our tours as 'walk and talk' through the city.
The tour begins in the Entertainment District. Once we move we head towards the city’s waterfront. On the way to the waterfront we will pass some of the city's most iconic buildings such as the CN Tower (at one time the world's tallest freestanding structure), and the Rogers Centre, (better known as the SkyDome to the locals). There are many interesting stories to be told about the Rogers Centre.
Our tour takes a short break at the waterfront, and then we head into the city's PATH. The PATH is a walkway, mostly underground which stretches over 30km/20miles in length. The PATH connects most of the buildings in downtown Toronto. This walkway is very handy both during winter and on rainy days. With its 600 places to eat, over 800 shops, 6 subway stations, and 7 hotels, the PATH is an experience that visitors to Toronto must not miss!
After popping in and out of PATH, we enter a building called Brookfield Place. The building was designed by the Spanish architect - Santiago Calatrava, and is one of the city's most spectacular buildings.
During the final third of our tour, we will walk through an area of the city known as Old Toronto. This is an area where you will see buildings that are original to Toronto’s boom in the 19th century. This area has a very different feel/vibe than the rest of the city. This is the area where you will find some very good restaurants and some of the city's historical buildings.
The final stop on the tour is the St. Lawrence Market. In many world rankings the market ranks #1.
In the market, we will point out some of the most popular venues and foods that can be found in the market. The market is a great spot to complete the tour and spend your time sampling some of the great foods that you will find in our city.
