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 trip.
Itinerary
On this Toronto walking tour you'll explore Chinatown and Kensington Market, the most colourful and multi-cultural neighbourhoods in Toronto and sample both local and international delicacies as you wander the often crowded (but always friendly) streets lined with unique vendors and specialty shops.
Learn how the neighbourhood has evolved from a working-class Jewish market into a working-class bohemian market and one of Canada's largest Chinese communities. Several waves of immigrant settlement over the past 100 years have splashed colours, sounds, and flavours from the four corners of the Earth throughout Kensington Market, and yet there is not a McDonald's or Starbucks to be seen. Bare brick walls have long been covered with graffiti murals - and much of it is stunning (and done at the request of the buildings' owners)!
You'll certainly want to hang around Kensington Market on your own for a while after your Toronto sightseeing tour to pick up some vintage or one-of-a-kind souvenirs or gifts.
