See Toronto from street, tower and water on a focused four-hour small-group tour that combines the CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market and a harbour cruise (or Casa Loma in the off-season). Ideal for first-time visitors who want an efficient, narrated introduction to the city.

The bus eases through downtown Toronto, glass and limestone sliding past as the guide points out blocks of immigrant-run cafes and high-rise offices. Within an hour you’re at the CN Tower, the city folded out below: a walk on the glass floor, a wind-cooled terrace at 342 m, and a vantage that makes the waterfront and islands readable like a topographic map.
