Welcome to Toronto History Walks. We specialize in the history of Toronto. With well over 450 different historic routes to explore in Toronto, and approaching 2000 tours since inception back in 2019, we have covered the entire city, and brought our story to light.
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.
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, and the Don Jail, from Rogers Road to Spadina Road and Forest Hill, Garrison Creek to Rathnelly to the PATH. Our Christmas Lights tours will be back for a new season. 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!

Well it's New Year's once again, 2026, and it's time to party.
Let's restart the process and head into the sun. It will be a great year I'm sure. Well in theory anyway. Let's make 2026 shine.
Over the years, Toronto has played host to some of the most famous nightclubs in the world. Nightclubs that not only invited the world's celebrities to party, but also created an exciting city that loved to boogie into the early morning. These nightclubs and dance halls turned the city of the Sunday Blue Laws into one of the world's party towns. And historically some of them are still around, but in a very different setting. Come along on a voyage of discovery as we look back at thirty of the iconic nightclubs in the downtown core.
And take a trip down memory lane to the spots we all know and love. I remember two clubs from my youth, one was the iconic RPM on the lakeshore and Sparkles at the CN Tower. Do I have stories to tell about these two? Oh yeah, do I! Just don't hold it against me! Hope to see you on this walk, and Happy New Year, 2026.
This walking tour is for all fitness levels and skills. Please dress for the weather.
This walking tour begins at the Toronto Reference Library on Yonge Street just north of Bloor Street. We end at the King Edward Hotel on King Street East!
And hope to see you there!
This tour has a ticket price of $15.00 per person!
