Toronto Yorkville Tours and Activities

Many of the tours in the city of Toronto will take you to the standard list of tourist sights. This tour is a bit different, this tour will take you on a journey through interesting areas of downtown not found on any other city tours. The tour begins outside the Royal Ontario Museum. We head onto the grounds of the University of Toronto and go past the Ontario Legislature. The tour heads into Yorkville, an area that once was the village just outside the city of Toronto. Yorkville is now full of high end boutiques and restaurants as well as many 5-star hotels. The tour then goes down the city's main street Yonge Street, and then pops over to the Church/Wellesley Neighbourhood which is the city's vibrant LGBTQ hub. The tour heads back to Yonge Street and ends at Yonge-Dundas Square, the city square full of giant video screens. If you have taken a Toronto tour before, try this one, and see a very different view of Toronto.

Toronto has been described as a “mosaic of neighbourhoods.” Yorkville with its fascinating history, chic boutiques, fine art galleries, luxury hotels, award-winning landscape architecture, charming cottages and heritage buildings provides the perfect backdrop for a delightful stroll. On this 45-minute self-guided audio walking tour, you’ll experience Yorkville’s evolution from a small Victorian village on the outskirts of Toronto to the centre of a world-famous music scene during the 1960s and 70s, and finally to the upscale retail destination replete with exclusive residences that it is today. You’ll peel back its layers of history while learning about the architects, personalities and developers who have left their mark on its urban fabric. You'll see how new construction and the conversion of heritage properties continues to transform the character of what was once considered “the Canadian Haight-Ashbury”.
