Description

Kick off your Best of Toronto Tour with convenient hotel pickup from your downtown Toronto accommodation. From there, your small-group adventure begins with a visit to the world-famous CN Tower. Ride the glass elevator to the LookOut Level and soak in stunning panoramic views of the city skyline and beyond. Feel the breeze 342 meters above the ground on the outdoor terrace and test your nerves on the iconic Glass Floor—an architectural first when it debuted in 1994!

Then, sit back and enjoy as your guide takes you on a captivating Toronto sightseeing tour. Pass by key landmarks such as Dundas Square, Queen's Park, and Nathan Phillips Square. You’ll have a chance to snap a photo with the iconic “Toronto” sign and learn about the PATH—Toronto’s hidden underground walkway system.

The tour then takes you to the renowned St. Lawrence Market, a historic site praised for its exceptional food offerings. Enjoy some free time to explore, shop, or grab a bite of local fare.

To cap off your morning, board a scenic Toronto Harbour Cruise for incredible views of the city’s skyline from the water. (Please note: the cruise is seasonal. During the off-season, this experience will be replaced with a visit to the majestic Casa Loma.)

Your half-day journey concludes with a drop-off back at your downtown hotel—leaving you with unforgettable memories of one of the best tours in Toronto, Canada.

Our tour with Nathan was amazing! We went all over the city, saw some interesting sites, and laughed way more than we thought we would. The little things like buying us waters, gathering our input on the car temperature, and speaking about our interests made this feel very personalized and special. This was overall a great experience that I would love to have again!

We had a fantastic experience on our tour. Our guide, Noah H, was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly accommodating throughout the day. He made sure everyone was comfortable and shared so many interesting facts about Toronto's history, landmarks, and neighborhoods, making the tour both informative and enjoyable. The combination of the driving tour, the amazing views from the CN Tower, and the relaxing boat cruise made for a perfect way to explore the city. We learned so much and saw all of Toronto's highlights without feeling rushed. I would definitely recommend this tour, especially if you have Noah H as your guide. He truly made the experience memorable!
