About This Tour
This Tour Guys original 90-minute walk from the War Memorial in front of Old City Hall to the St Lawrence Market will cover some of the dark history of the city. Murders, hangings, duels to the death, disease epidemics, and other horrible events led to much of the progress and advances we enjoy today. Your tour guide will connect the dots and share some of the best stories Toronto has to offer. Please note that the meeting point is by the War Memorial on the steps in front of Toronto's Old City Hall (a big brown building with a clock tower) and the address given is not an actual address but will put a pin on the location of the meeting point in Google Maps or other mapping software. Please also note that this is on Queen Street West in Toronto, not in Brampton. Be sure to tip your guide at the end of the tour. By charging only a booking fee, we leave it up to our guests to pay the guide what they feel the tour is worth. The average tip is $10 per person, some pay much more.
