Shane's Favorite Spots in Toronto

Toronto has been my home for 25 years and I love showing people around my city. This tour focuses on a few of my fav areas in 'The Six'. We'll start in one area and finish in Kensington Market. I usually time things so we can have a post-tour beer or coffee. Do you enjoy tours packed with historical information and facts about every building that you pass? This tour is NOT for you. Do you want to see cool things, explore interesting pockets of the city, check out colourful street art and find out about our city's many great coffee shops, bars, resto's, patios, craft beer spots? This is the perfect tour for you! *Important notes* 1) 4+ KM's of walking. If you tire easily, walk slowly or cannot walk for extended periods of time, please look at other tour providers. 2) Pics taken could be used on social media. 3) *Tours of 1-3 ppl may be combined with other tour groups during busy travel seasons.*
