This 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 sightseeing tour concludes with a visit to Steam Whistle Brewery – located in a restored locomotive roundhouse – where the group can sample their signature Pilsner.
