Overview

One booking includes four self-guided Toronto app tours. Start with Toronto Essentials: 10 city highlights on a planned walking-and-public-transit loop from Union Station. Your purchase also includes three separate 8-stop tours: History & City Stories (Historic Toronto), Art, Architecture & Design (Toronto by Design), and Sports & Entertainment (Toronto Takes the Stage). Take one, several or all four at your own pace.

Discover people, history, architecture, art and entertainment through illustrated stories, audio and written content. Essentials audio and stories are available in English, French, German and Spanish; the three additional tours are in English. App instructions remain in English.

The listed 3–5-hour duration and Union Station meeting point apply to Essentials, not all four tours combined. Each additional tour has its own predefined start. This is an app-based experience: no guide meets you, and transit fares, attraction admission and event tickets are not included.
