Description:

Lace up your walking shoes and surround yourself with the rich cultures of Toronto. Explore 2 of the city's most diverse and vibrant neighborhoods on this walking tour through eclectic Kensington Market and colorful Chinatown—one of the largest in North America.

Meet your local guide and head to Kensington Market, known for its rainbow collection of houses, outdoor shops, and graffiti-splashed brick walls—these dazzling murals warrant an extended stopover. Learn how this enclave used to be a working-class Jewish market, but has since evolved into a non-corporate, Bohemian mecca (not a Starbucks or McDonald's in sight) that boasts galleries, cafés, and vintage boutiques.

Just a short stroll away is bustling Chinatown. Brilliant signs in Chinese characters line the streets, highlighting stands filled with freshly picked greens and exotic fruit. Mingle with attentive workers as you marvel at the various storefronts that feature rows of barbecued poultry, dried herbs, and a variety of discounted trinkets. Complete your tour as you get insider recommendations for the best dim sum spot in town.
