Product Info

18+ Winner of the Trip Advisor badge of excellence.

Uncover the wild, secret world of Old Toronto's brothels in the 1800s. A history professor takes you to hidden sites in the old city and reveals the scandals, secrets, and spy rings that shook Toronto— and the sex workers and madams who helped build our city.

Based on a decade of archival research that uncovered the locations of 100 brothels in 1800s Toronto, you'll learn the secret original codes and rules for running a brothel in 1800s Toronto. Learn about the women who worked here, who their clients were, and the wild stories of what they did with their money.

Explore lost streets, forgotten photographs, hands-on artefacts and rare stories to find a secret world that our town founders hoped would stay hidden forever.

Tours are 90 minutes to 2 hours and begin and end in St. James Park 120 King Street East.
