What we’re about
When one thinks of Toronto, the CN Tower, Eaton Centre, Canada's Wonderland, and Kensington Market come to mind, and for good reason. These landmarks have made Toronto an international destination. And it's constantly renewing and growing. We have an amazing city, and a young city at that. It all dates to 1615 with the man known as Etienne Brule, and the French Regime in what would become the future Quebec and Ontario. The rest is history, as they say. And that's where I come in.
Welcome to Toronto History Walks, Hidden Toronto Tours, and Explore Toronto History. Three groups that tell our stories to the world. With well over 175 different historic routes to explore in Toronto, and approaching 1000 tours since inception back in 2019, we have covered the entire city, and brought our story to light. Last month a milestone was reached with the introduction of our first new Tour Guide Kate, she has brought incredible energy and insight to the company.
These tours are for visitors and residents interested in exploring local history, and understanding our place, not only in our beautiful Canada, but in the world in which we live and work. We have covered and explored ravines, streets, from Riverdale to Mimico, from North York Centre to Corktown. We have investigated Ghosts of the CNE, and the Don Jail, from Rogers Road to Spadina Road and Forest Hill, Garrison Creek to Rathnelly to the PATH. Our Christmas Lights tours are back for a second year. And everything in between.
Our history does impact the world at large. Our walking tours are so needed in an age of misunderstanding. Let's tell our stories, and celebrate our city! Our motto is simple, let's bring history alive for all!

*These tours are dependent on research, and lots of work to get these tours out to the members, and public. Toronto History Walks, Hidden Toronto Tours and Explore Toronto History Tours are driven by memberships of $10 per year per member, and that helps to keep this site free from excess booking and Meetup Fees and to keep it tip based or Pay-What-You-Can basis. Check the Message Boards or Discussion Boards for membership details. And thanks for making the first 1000 tours so much fun!
