Tickets, seasons & itinerary changes

Good to know
Cancellation and changes
You can cancel up to 24 hours before your tour date, and a cancellation made less than 24 hours before your tour date is not refunded. Your booking confirmation carries the cancellation terms that apply; section 7 of our Terms and Conditions covers cancellations. A booking needs at least 24 hours' notice. To cancel or change your date, email info@voyzo.com before the 24-hour cutoff; we will try to reschedule, subject to availability. Section 10 of the Terms and Conditions describes how independent operators fit in.
How booking works
- Choose your group size, date and start time. We need at least 24 hours' notice. The AGO is closed on Mondays and opens at 10:30 am, so pick a Tuesday to Sunday date; we confirm a start time that fits the AGO's hours.
- Send your request. The calendar's Book now button sends a request rather than a confirmed booking.
- Share your wishes. Put mobility needs, children's ages, where your transport should start and any time you must finish by in the message box of the quote form on this page, or email info@voyzo.com.
- Receive your confirmation. Once we confirm availability by email, we send your exact time and meeting details ahead of the tour.
How the hours work
The price covers a private tour of 2 hours. The booking calendar shows one price per group size and has no length option. We confirm by email how the transport there and back fits around the 2 hours. If you want more than 2 hours, tell us by email to info@voyzo.com or in the quote form on this page, and we confirm whether it is possible and the total in your booking confirmation.
Who runs your tour
You book with Voyzo FZ-LLC, and Voyzo remains your point of contact for booking, pricing and support: info@voyzo.com.
Some private tours run on the vehicles and drivers of Voyzo's affiliated Canadian operating company; other tours, such as flights, boat rides and attraction visits, are run by independent operators, all professionally licensed and insured. We confirm by email who provides your transport and who leads the visit inside the gallery. The Art Gallery of Ontario is a separate organisation: its name is used on this page only to say where the tour goes, and this page does not state that the AGO runs or endorses the tour.
How the visit inside the gallery is led
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) says on its group-visits page that, to give all visitors a consistent experience, it does not permit third parties to lead groups through the galleries, and that independent or unauthorized tours will be asked to conclude (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). We therefore confirm by email, before your date, who leads your visit and how it is arranged with the AGO. The AGO offers adult group visits of its own, with its guides or at your own pace, and asks groups of 10 or more to book in advance.
Admission and tickets
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) sets its own admission. Its page lists single-day admission at CAD 30 for adults (18 and over) and CAD 15 for youth aged 10 to 17, with free admission for children aged 0 to 9, for Indigenous Peoples and for Ontario residents aged 10 to 17 (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). Admission is not included unless we confirm by email that it is; we also confirm how it is arranged and whether any special exhibition is covered.
Opening days and hours
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is closed on Mondays. It is open Tuesday and Thursday 10:30 am to 5 pm, Wednesday and Friday 10:30 am to 9 pm, and Saturday and Sunday 10:30 am to 5:30 pm (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). The booking calendar's start-time list is not tied to these hours, so we confirm a time that fits them by email, and we confirm any holiday date (24, 25 and 26 December, 1 January and holiday Mondays) before accepting it, because holiday hours can differ.
What is on view
Installations change. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) page we read, an archived copy, places Group of Seven works on Level 1 and in the Thomson Collection of Canadian Art on Level 2, and says its Henry Moore Sculpture Centre holds more than 900 works, but the tour does not promise any single painting or sculpture. The AGO listed the Yayoi Kusama INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM as on view until 25 October 2026 and also shows select Indigenous and Canadian art at Mulock House (in Newmarket, Ontario, per the Town of Newmarket) from 18 September 2026, so we confirm which Group of Seven works are on view in the Toronto gallery for your date.
Groups of 10 or more
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) requires advance group bookings for adult groups of 10 or more: walk-in groups pay regular admission without group rates, guided visits must be booked at least 4 weeks ahead and self-guided visits at least 3 days ahead, group tickets are final sale, and there is no motorcoach parking on site (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). Our calendar accepts up to 56 guests with 24 hours' notice, so for 10 or more guests tell us your group size when you request your date and we confirm by email how the visit is arranged.
Accessibility
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) says it is wheelchair accessible, with street-level access through its Group Entrance during all public hours. Wheelchairs and walkers are available to visitors first come first served or can be reserved in advance, a support person is admitted free and may stay with the visitor, and service animals may enter all public areas (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). This page does not describe the accessibility of the transport to and from the gallery, so tell us about any mobility needs before you book and we confirm what can be arranged. Questions go to info@voyzo.com.
Children
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) lists admission as free for children aged 0 to 9, free for Ontario residents aged 10 to 17 and CAD 15 for other youth aged 10 to 17 (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). It says strollers and baby carriers are welcome in the galleries and pull-behind wagons are not. We found no minimum age on the pages we read. Tell us your children's ages and how many strollers you bring, by email to info@voyzo.com or in the quote form on this page, and we confirm the details for your group.
What to bring, bags and photography
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) gallery guidelines say bags larger than 18 x 16 x 6 inches are oversized and go to the coat check, that food and drink are not allowed in the galleries (sealed water bottles are) and that bicycles, skateboards and scooters are not allowed. Its photography guidelines allow hand-held photography without flash for personal, non-commercial use unless a no-photography sign is posted; tripods, monopods and selfie sticks are not allowed, and visitors keep cameras at least 18 inches (about 45 cm) from artwork (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026).
Winter and the weather
Most of the visit is indoors, so winter weather changes what you wear more than what you see. Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Toronto (City) station show an average daily high of 8.1 degrees Celsius in November, 2.6 in December and -0.3 in January, with daily lows of 2.3, -2.7 and -6.7. The AGO has a coat check.
Private tour, shared tour or visiting on your own?
| Topic | This private tour | Shared tour | Visiting on your own |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who you are with | Your group only for the tour; other visitors are in the galleries too | Other travellers | Your own party |
| Who leads the visit inside the galleries | We confirm by email before your date; the AGO does not permit third parties to lead groups through its galleries | Depends on the operator | You, or an AGO-led visit: the AGO asks for guided group visits to be booked at least 4 weeks ahead |
| Admission | Not included unless we confirm it by email | Varies by tour | Adult CAD 30, youth 10 to 17 CAD 15 (free for Ontario residents), children 0 to 9 free (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026) |
| Getting there | Transport there and back arranged | Varies by tour | TTC Line 1 to St. Patrick station, then west on Dundas Street |
| Timing | A start time confirmed by email to fit the AGO's hours; closed Mondays | A set timetable | Yours, within the AGO's hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 10:30 am |
| Cost | One group total: US$1,499 for 1 to 4 guests, rising with group size (see the pricing table) | Sold per person, which can cost less for one or two travellers | AGO admission for each person, plus your own transport |
| If plans change | Cancel up to 24 hours before your tour date; terms come with your confirmation | Varies by operator | AGO group tickets are final sale (AGO group guidelines, groups of 10 or more) |
| Choose it if | You want transport and a private visit for your group arranged in one booking | You prefer a per-person price and a set timetable | You want to set your own pace and pay only the AGO's admission |
Going on your own costs less: the AGO lists adult admission at CAD 30 (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026) and runs its own guided and self-guided group visits. The private tour costs a fixed total for your group, which suits a party that wants transport there and back and a start time arranged for it; it is the weaker fit if you only want to look at art at your own pace.

We arrange your transport there and back. We confirm the exact meeting spot and where your transport starts by email. The closest subway stop is St. Patrick on Line 1.
Is Art Gallery of Ontario admission included in the tour price?
Admission is not included unless we confirm it by email; this page does not promise it. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) sets its own admission, listed at CAD 30 for adults aged 18 and over and CAD 15 for youth aged 10 to 17, with free admission for children aged 0 to 9, for Indigenous Peoples and for Ontario residents aged 10 to 17 (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026).
Who leads the visit inside the Art Gallery of Ontario?
We confirm this by email before your date. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) says it does not permit third parties to lead groups through its galleries and that independent or unauthorized tours will be asked to conclude (AGO group-visits page, archived copy read 29 October 2026), so this page does not promise a guide-led visit inside the galleries. The AGO offers its own guided and self-guided group visits, and groups of 10 or more must book in advance.
Is the tour private, or shared with other guests?
The tour is private: it is booked for your group only and is not combined with other bookings. Other visitors to the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) are in the galleries at the same time, because the gallery stays open to the public. Voyzo FZ-LLC takes your booking and stays your contact at info@voyzo.com.
How do I book the tour?
Choose your group size, date and preferred start time in the booking calendar, at least 24 hours before your tour, or send a quote request by email. Your booking is a request until we confirm availability by email, as soon as possible after we receive it. We then email your exact time and meeting details before the tour. Pick a Tuesday to Sunday date, because the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is closed on Mondays.
What is the cancellation policy?
You can cancel up to 24 hours before your tour date. A cancellation made less than 24 hours before your tour date is not refunded. Your booking confirmation carries the cancellation terms that apply, and section 7 of our Terms and Conditions covers cancellations. To cancel or change your date, email info@voyzo.com before the 24-hour cutoff; we will try to reschedule, subject to availability.
Is the Art Gallery of Ontario open on Mondays?
No. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is closed on Mondays and open Tuesday and Thursday 10:30 am to 5 pm, Wednesday and Friday 10:30 am to 9 pm, and Saturday and Sunday 10:30 am to 5:30 pm (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). The calendar's start-time list is not tied to these hours, so we confirm a time that fits them by email, and we confirm any holiday date (24, 25 and 26 December, 1 January and holiday Mondays) before accepting it, because holiday hours can differ.
What will we see at the Art Gallery of Ontario on this tour?
The tour is built around the Group of Seven, the Henry Moore Sculpture Centre and The Grange. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) page we read, an archived copy, places Group of Seven works on Level 1 and in the Thomson Collection of Canadian Art on Level 2, but installations change and some Canadian art is also shown at Mulock House, so the tour does not promise any single work. We confirm by email what is on view for your date.
Can I see the Yayoi Kusama Infinity Mirrored Room?
We have not confirmed that it is on view, so this tour does not promise it. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) listed Yayoi Kusama's INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM - LET'S SURVIVE FOREVER as on view until 25 October 2026, and we found no extension (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). The AGO says the room admits up to four visitors for 60 seconds, first come first served, and may close without notice.
What is the Henry Moore Sculpture Centre at the AGO?
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) says its Henry Moore Sculpture Centre, which opened in autumn 1974, holds more than 900 works and is home to the largest public collection of Henry Moore's artworks in the world. The collection began in 1951 with a bronze given by the AGO Women's Committee. Selections on show change, so the tour does not promise a particular piece.
What is The Grange at the Art Gallery of Ontario?
The Grange is a house built about 1817 for D'Arcy Boulton Jr., which Parks Canada designated a national historic site of Canada in 1970. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) says it was the gallery's first home and is now part of the gallery. The tour includes a stop there; we confirm by email when it fits in your 2 hours and what is open inside on your date.
Is the Art Gallery of Ontario wheelchair accessible?
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) says it is wheelchair accessible, with street-level access through its Group Entrance during all public hours. Wheelchairs and walkers are available to visitors first come first served or can be reserved in advance, a support person is admitted free, and service animals may enter all public areas (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). Tell us about mobility needs when you book and we confirm what can be arranged for the transport.
Is the tour suitable for children?
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) lists admission as free for ages 0 to 9, free for Ontario residents aged 10 to 17 and CAD 15 for other youth aged 10 to 17 (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026), and says strollers and baby carriers are welcome but pull-behind wagons are not. We found no minimum age on the pages we read. Tell us your children's ages in the quote form or by email, and we confirm the details for your group.
Can I take photos inside the Art Gallery of Ontario?
Yes, with limits. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) allows hand-held photography without flash for personal, non-commercial use unless a no-photography sign is posted. Tripods, monopods and selfie sticks are not allowed, staged photo shoots are not allowed during visitor hours, and visitors must stay behind stanchions and keep cameras at least 18 inches (about 45 cm) from artwork (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026).
Can I bring a backpack or a large bag into the AGO?
Bags larger than 18 x 16 x 6 inches are oversized and must go to the coat check at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), according to the gallery's guidelines (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). Food and drink are not allowed in the galleries, but sealed water bottles are. Bicycles, skateboards and scooters are not allowed either.
Can a large group book the tour?
Yes, the calendar sells groups of 1 to 56 guests, but the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) requires advance group bookings for adult groups of 10 or more. Guided visits must be booked at least 4 weeks ahead and self-guided visits at least 3 days ahead, and there is no motorcoach parking on site (AGO, archived copy read 29 October 2026). For 10 or more guests, tell us your group size and we confirm by email how your visit is arranged.
Is this a good Toronto activity for a cold or rainy day?
Yes, most of the visit is indoors. Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Toronto (City) station show an average daily high of 8.1 degrees Celsius in November, 2.6 in December and -0.3 in January, with daily lows of 2.3, -2.7 and -6.7. The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) has a coat check. Choose a Tuesday to Sunday date, as the gallery is closed on Mondays.

About the Private Art Gallery of Ontario Tour
This tour is for groups who want two hours at the Art Gallery of Ontario arranged as one booking: transport to the gallery and back, a start time that fits the AGO's hours, and a visit built around the Group of Seven, the Henry Moore Sculpture Centre and The Grange. The AGO describes itself as one of the largest art museums in North America, with a collection of more than 120,000 works, so two hours is a selection, not the whole collection. The Art Gallery of Ontario is a separate organisation, and its name is used here only to say where the tour goes.
The gallery sets the rules for the visit. It is closed on Mondays, requires advance bookings for groups of 10 or more, does not permit third parties to lead groups through its galleries and publishes its own admission, bag and photography rules. We confirm each point that touches your date by email before the tour, and the sections above give the AGO's wording with the date of the archived copy we read.
The Art Gallery of Ontario is at 317 Dundas Street West in Toronto. The AGO describes itself as one of the largest art museums in North America, with a collection of more than 120,000 works. The Private Art Gallery of Ontario Tour spends 2 hours there with your group only, built around the Group of Seven, the Henry Moore Sculpture Centre and The Grange. What is on view changes, so the tour does not promise any single work.
According to the AGO, the Group of Seven has been part of the gallery since 1920, when it hosted the group's first exhibition, and signature works by all members and the artists associated with them are shown on Level 1 and in the Thomson Collection of Canadian Art on Level 2 (an archived copy of the AGO page; we confirm what is on view for your date). The AGO says Kenneth Thomson's gift added 2,000 Canadian and European works to its collection, and that the renovation and expansion of the gallery by architect Frank Gehry opened to the public on 14 November 2008.
The AGO says its Henry Moore Sculpture Centre, which opened in autumn 1974, holds more than 900 works and is home to the largest public collection of Henry Moore's artworks in the world; the collection began in 1951 with a bronze given by the AGO Women's Committee and grew in 1974 with a gift from the artist. The Grange, built about 1817 for D'Arcy Boulton Jr., was designated a national historic site of Canada in 1970, according to Parks Canada, and the AGO says it was the gallery's first home and is now part of the gallery.
