Tipping Info

If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour.

Itinerary

This Toronto walking tour is a great way for locals and visitors to discover the tragedies and triumphs that have punctuated this city's history. Beginning under the bright lights and electronic billboards of Yonge-Dundas Square, your local guide will take you down part (only part) of the world's longest street and into the financial district where most of Canada's tallest buildings form canyons of concrete, glass and steel.
Head below ground where the subway rumbles past and thousands of people navigate the PATH – Toronto's “underground city”. Your guide will highlight the most interesting stories and fun facts about these engineering marvels while trekking south to the lake where one of the worst nautical disasters in Canadian history took place. Along the way, the very best and worst moments in urban development, history, politics and sports will be discussed. This Toronto sighseeing tour concludes with a visit to Steam Whistle Brewery – located in a restored locomotive roundhouse – where the group can sample their signature Pilsner.
An optional brewery tour can be done at the conclusion of the Urban Adventures tour at an additional cost, and the CN Tower is nearby if guests would like to visit it after the city tour.
