Gray light falls across the frozen lake as your vehicle eases away from downtown traffic and the city compresses into a sequence of windows and warm interiors. On a full-day private sightseeing tour of Toronto in winter you move deliberately between snow-lined icons — the needle of the CN Tower piercing low clouds, the warm galleries of the Royal Ontario Museum, the brick alleys of the Distillery District, and the color-streaked stalls of Kensington Market.
