Actual timings vary with the weather, opening hours and how long your group lingers.

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.
- Send your request. The calendar's Book now button sends a request rather than a confirmed booking.
- Share your wishes. Put dietary needs, mobility needs, children's ages 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 point ahead of the tour.
How the hours work
The price covers a private walking tour of 3 hours. The booking calendar shows one price per group size and has no length option. If you want a longer walk, 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. This page does not say which applies to this walking tour or which company employs the person who leads the walk, so ask us before you book.
Stops and order
The tour lists Berczy Park, the Gooderham (Flatiron) Building, Old City Hall, Campbell House Museum, David Pecaut Square, the Royal Alexandra Theatre, TIFF Bell Lightbox, Nathan Phillips Square, the Hockey Hall of Fame and Union Station. They are listed in that order. This page gives no time at each stop and does not promise that all ten fit in one walk. Tell us which stops matter most, in the quote form or by email, and we confirm the plan and what is open on your date.
Going inside
Old City Hall was a provincial courthouse until April 2025 and the City's page does not say whether visitors can enter. Campbell House Museum admits visitors by guided tour only. The Royal Alexandra is a working theatre, TIFF Bell Lightbox keeps weekly opening hours and the Hockey Hall of Fame sells admission. This page promises no interior visit: tell us which of these you want to enter and we confirm whether it fits in the 3 hours.
Tickets and extras
Admission to every stop is separate and not included: the Hockey Hall of Fame, TIFF screenings, Campbell House Museum and theatre performances each set their own tickets and hours. Meals and snacks are not included, and the tour lists no food stop, so tell us about dietary needs only if you add one. Gratuities are not included.
Seasons and opening hours
Stops set their own hours and change them through the year. This winter, Campbell House Museum is closed from 22 December to 31 January, TIFF Bell Lightbox is closed on Mondays, the Hockey Hall of Fame is closed on 9 November, 24 and 25 December and 1 January, and the skating rink at Nathan Phillips Square runs from November to March. The dated table in the Itinerary section lists the sources, and we confirm what is open on your date.
Accessibility
The walk has no stated distance, pace or step-free route, so we cannot promise access at every stop. TIFF says its Lightbox is wheelchair accessible throughout; Mirvish says the Royal Alexandra's main level is accessible but the building has no elevator; the City says Old City Hall has ramp access at the Albert Street entrance only; and Campbell House Museum says only its ground floor is step-free. If anyone in your group has mobility needs, tell us before you book; questions go to info@voyzo.com.
Children
No minimum age or age limit is stated for this tour. Tell us your children's ages in the quote form or by email to info@voyzo.com and we confirm the plan with you. Each venue sets its own admission and age rules.
What to bring and the weather
The walk is outdoors between stops, so dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes. Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 normals for the Toronto (City) station put the average daily maximum between about -0.3 and 2.6 degrees Celsius from December to February, with about 150 days a year of measurable precipitation. No rain, snow or cold-weather policy is stated for this tour, so ask us before you book what happens on the day. Winter days are short, so if you want to see the exteriors in daylight, tell us your date and we reply with start times that suit it.
Photography
The City's Old City Hall page says only small cameras and smartphones are permitted there, and large professional cameras and tripods are not. This page does not describe the rules at the other stops; each venue sets its own.
Group size
Groups of 1 to 56 guests can request the walk, and the calendar lists 1 to 20 guests, with “> 20” taking a typed number up to 56. We do not state how many people lead the walk or how a large group is split on foot, so we confirm that by email for larger groups.
Private walk, shared tour or walking it yourself?
| Topic | This private tour | Shared tour | Walking it yourself |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who you walk with | Your group only | Other travellers | Your own party |
| Route and stops | The ten stops listed for this walk; we confirm the order and the stops with you | Varies by tour | Whatever you choose |
| Getting to the start | A meeting point in downtown Toronto that we confirm by email; no pickup is described | Usually a fixed meeting point; varies by tour | Your own way |
| Going inside places | Admission is not included; we confirm what can be entered on your date | Varies by tour | You plan and pay for each entry; Campbell House admits visitors by guided tour only |
| 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 | No tour fee; you pay for your own transit, food and entries |
| If plans change | Cancel up to 24 hours before your tour date; terms come with your confirmation | Varies by operator | Nothing to cancel |
| Choose it if | You want a private 3-hour walk through downtown Toronto for your group | You prefer a per-person price and a set timetable | You want to set everything yourself |
A shared walk is usually sold per person, so it often costs less in total for one or two travellers, and a self-guided day costs less still. This private walk costs more in total, but the walk is for your group only and the plan is confirmed with you, and the group total is divided among all your guests, so each guest's share falls as the group grows (see the pricing table).

It starts at a meeting point in downtown Toronto that we confirm by email, and it costs US$1,499 in total for 1 to 4 guests.
How much does a private walking tour of Toronto cost?
The Private Toronto City Highlights Walking Tour costs US$1,499 in total for 1 to 4 guests. Prices are totals for the whole group, not per person, in US dollars with no added taxes: US$1,499 for 1 to 4 guests, US$1,799 for 5 to 6, US$1,999 for 7 to 10, US$2,499 for 11 to 14, US$2,999 for 15 to 28, US$3,499 for 29 to 34 and US$3,999 for 35 to 56 guests. Admission, meals and gratuities are not included.
What does the price include, and what is extra?
The price is the total for one private walking tour of 3 hours for your group only, with a meeting point in downtown Toronto that we confirm by email. It does not cover admission to any stop, meals, snacks, gratuities or time beyond the 3 hours. If you want to go inside a venue, such as the Hockey Hall of Fame or Campbell House Museum, you pay that venue's admission separately.
How long is the tour, and what time does it start?
The tour lasts 3 hours. The booking calendar offers hourly start times from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and we confirm your exact time by email once your booking is confirmed. Some stops open only on set days or hours, so an early start and a late start can differ in what you can enter. Extra time can be added on request; we confirm whether it is possible and the charge.
Where does the walking tour start?
The walk starts at a meeting point in downtown Toronto. We do not name the point on this page, so we email it to you once your booking is confirmed. This page describes no hotel pickup and no transport to the start or from the finish; if you need a different meeting point, tell us before you book and we reply by email.
Which stops are on the Toronto walking tour?
The tour lists Berczy Park, the Gooderham (Flatiron) Building, Old City Hall, Campbell House Museum, David Pecaut Square, the Royal Alexandra Theatre, TIFF Bell Lightbox, Nathan Phillips Square, the Hockey Hall of Fame and Union Station. They are listed in that order. This page gives no time at each stop and does not promise that all ten fit in one walk, so we confirm the order and the stops with you by email.
Do we go inside the buildings on the walking tour?
This page does not promise an interior visit. Old City Hall was a provincial courthouse until April 2025 and the City of Toronto's page does not say whether visitors can enter. Campbell House Museum admits visitors by guided tour only, the Royal Alexandra is a working theatre, and TIFF Bell Lightbox and the Hockey Hall of Fame keep their own hours. Tell us which you want to enter and we confirm.
Is admission to the Hockey Hall of Fame, TIFF or Campbell House included?
No. The price does not include admission to any stop. The Hockey Hall of Fame, TIFF Bell Lightbox, Campbell House Museum and the Royal Alexandra each set their own tickets and hours. The Hockey Hall of Fame, for example, is closed on 9 November, 24 and 25 December 2026 and 1 January 2027, and Campbell House Museum is closed on Sundays, Mondays and from 22 December to 31 January (checked 29 October 2026).
What is the Gooderham (Flatiron) Building in Toronto?
The Gooderham Building, also called the Flatiron Building, stands at 49 Wellington Street East. The Canadian Register of Historic Places gives it a construction date of 1891, describes a five-storey, wedge-shaped building on a triangular lot where Wellington and Front streets meet, and calls it arguably Toronto's most photographed historic structure. A trompe l'oeil mural by Derek Besant, dated 1980, is on its west facade.
Is the Royal Alexandra Theatre the oldest theatre in North America?
Mirvish describes the Royal Alexandra as one of the oldest and most famous legitimate theatres in North America, so we do not call it the oldest. Mirvish says it first opened in 1907 and says Ed Mirvish bought it in 1963 and saved it from demolition. It stands at 260 King Street West and is a working theatre, so this page promises no interior visit.
Can I do a walking tour in Toronto in winter, and what if it rains or snows?
The walk is outdoors between stops, and winters are cold: Environment and Climate Change Canada's 1991 to 2020 normals put the average daily maximum between about -0.3 and 2.6 degrees Celsius from December to February. No rain, snow or cold-weather policy is stated for this tour, so ask us before you book what happens on the day. Some stops also close in winter; the dated table on this page lists them.
Is the Toronto walking tour wheelchair or stroller friendly?
The walk has no stated distance, pace or step-free route, and strollers are not addressed, so we cannot promise access at every stop. TIFF says its Lightbox is wheelchair accessible throughout, Mirvish says the Royal Alexandra's main level is accessible but the building has no elevator, and Campbell House Museum says only its ground floor is step-free. Tell us about any mobility needs before you book.
Can children join the walking tour?
No minimum age or age limit is stated for this tour. Include your children's ages in the quote form or your email to info@voyzo.com and we confirm the plan with you. Each venue sets its own admission and age rules, and the walk is outdoors between stops, so dress children for the weather on the day.
Is this tour private, or do other travellers join?
The tour is private: the walk is for your group only, and other travellers are not combined with it. The price is one total for the whole group, from US$1,499 for 1 to 4 guests, not a price per person. A booking is a request until we confirm it by email, so your group is not guaranteed a date until then.
Can I book the walking tour for a large group, such as 20 or 40 guests?
The calendar accepts every group size from 1 to 56 guests, and the price rises with group size: US$2,999 for 15 to 28 guests, US$3,499 for 29 to 34 and US$3,999 for 35 to 56. For 21 to 56 guests, choose “> 20” in the group-size list and type your group size. We do not state how a large group is led on foot, so we confirm that by email.
Who leads the walk, and in which languages?
The tour description names no guide, no language and no employer for the walk, so we do not state any of them here. Voyzo FZ-LLC takes your booking and stays your point of contact at info@voyzo.com. Ask us before you book who leads the walk and which languages are available, and we answer by email; a booking is a request until we confirm it.
How is this walk different from your other Toronto tours?
This is a 3-hour walk on foot from a meeting point in downtown Toronto. The private city tour runs 6 to 8 hours in a vehicle with pickup anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area, the PATH tour is a 2-hour walk that starts at Union Station, and the local guide walk runs 2 to 4 hours on a route built on the day around what your group wants to see.
How does booking this tour work?
Choose your group size, date and preferred start time in the booking calendar, at least 24 hours before your tour. Your booking is a request until we confirm availability by email, as soon as possible after we receive it; the calendar itself describes this product as on request. We then email your exact time and meeting point before the tour.
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.

About the Toronto City Highlights Walking Tour
This walk is for groups who want downtown Toronto on foot: the civic buildings around Old City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square, the Gooderham (Flatiron) Building in the St. Lawrence Market District, the theatre and film venues of the Entertainment District, the Hockey Hall of Fame and Union Station. The tour lists ten stops for 3 hours, so this page treats them as stops the walk can include and leaves the order and the time at each to the plan we confirm with you.
Seasons and opening hours shape the walk. The route is outdoors between stops, December to February averages stay close to freezing, Campbell House Museum is closed from 22 December to 31 January and several venues open only on set days; when a stop is closed, ask us before you book what can be arranged.
The Gooderham Building, also called the Flatiron Building, stands at 49 Wellington Street East in Toronto's St. Lawrence Market District. The Canadian Register of Historic Places gives it a construction date of 1891, describes a five-storey, wedge-shaped building on a triangular lot where Wellington and Front streets meet, and says George Gooderham commissioned it as offices for the family's distillery. The Register calls it arguably Toronto's most photographed historic structure, and it records a trompe l'oeil mural by Derek Besant, dated 1980, on the building's west facade.
Old City Hall at 60 Queen Street West was built in 1899 to a design by E.J. Lennox, served as Toronto's City Hall until 1965 and was a provincial courthouse until April 2025, according to the City of Toronto. The Royal Alexandra Theatre at 260 King Street West opened in 1907; Mirvish says Ed Mirvish bought it in 1963 and saved it from demolition, and describes it as one of the oldest and most famous legitimate theatres in North America. Campbell House at 160 Queen Street West was completed in 1822 and moved to its present corner in 1972; the City's heritage designation says it is valued as the only surviving residential building from the Town of York.
TIFF Bell Lightbox occupies the first five floors of the Festival Tower at King and John streets, and CBC reported that it opened in September 2010 with five cinemas and two gallery spaces. The Hockey Hall of Fame is at Brookfield Place, 30 Yonge Street, and Union Station, which the City describes as a designated national historic site used by more than a quarter-million people daily, is approaching its 100th anniversary in 2027. Nathan Phillips Square outside City Hall hosts events that, the City says, draw more than 1.8 million visitors a year.
