10 Sightseeing Tours in Toronto That You Shouldn't Miss

June 15, 2021 Darwin Bolte

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Join me while we walk past the Skydome, the CN Tower, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and maybe catch a festival in Yonge and Dundas Square. Mid afternoon to the evening is the best time to take this tour.

I got this for my boyfriends birthday and we were both so excited. The experience was so clean and safe (with strict covid precautions) and everyone was so friendly! The pilot was wonderful and we even got to see a cute proposal at the end of our tour! The 6 minute flight felt a little short but still definitely worth it!

The tour was fun and interesting and glad I got the chance to see some neighborhoods in the city I might not otherwise have visited. Lots of cool places to eat wish I could have tried them all. We did a bunch of snacking at a few stops though. Mike was a great guide who knew so much. And there were about 5 of us all together on the tour. It’s great when you can meet up with strangers but it feels like spending the day with new friends.

I used to travel back home in Vietnam at the end of June, 2019 last year and I had to have a stop for a transit in Toronto Pearson International Airport for few hours. I think that was a new and exciting experience because when my flight was from Halifax to Toronto ended, I went to Toronto airport to transfer to the next flight and honestly, the airport is so huge and the way to the gate for my next flight is so long. I was confused a little bit about my gate flight and had trouble in finding the way so I asked the staff and they helped me and directed me the way politely. They were so friendly and hospitable to the travelers. However, I love the unique architecture of that airport’s building since it is very modern and amazing. There are many luxury high-fashion brands along the way I was going to my gate too. Everything is so new and modern. When I came to my gate, I found a seat to wait for my next flight, I can see it is so convenient for me since there are many tables with many tablets for the travelers to order the food from the opposite restaurants or to play games, surf the Internet in free time, which helps them “kill the time” to do something else while waiting for their next flight for too long. I was very excited when I found an Asian restaurant that is in front of my waiting seat with a Vietnamese name, I think, I did not remember. This restaurant attracted so many guests and I should have probably tasted the food from that restaurant if I had had time since my transit time was only about few short hours. The airport is full of travelers from many different culture and countries because Toronto is known to have a variety of culture from many countries in the world. It was an amazing experience for me since this airports helps me feel familiar with Asian community, culture and has many diverse culture so I didn’t feel lost and alone in Canada.
