Meeting and Ending Points
All of our tours start along subway or streetcar lines – see the Tour Pages for a map and detailed transit directions. All tours have Ending Points with washrooms and restaurants nearby.
Rain or Inclement Weather
Our walks run rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather please call us at 416-820-3111 on the morning of the tour, after 8:00 a.m. to confirm our schedule. Walk T.O. reserves the right to cancel tours in the event of hazardous weather.
Wheelchair and Disabled Access
Our Nutshell and Toronto the Green walking tours are fully wheelchair accessible. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate wheelchairs on the Villages and Vagabonds Tour because the Toronto Transit Commission’s streetcars are not wheelchair accessible.
Children
Curious and interested children are always welcome on our tours. As educators we believe that children will get a great educational experience from our tours – in history, the environment, architecture, diversity and Toronto culture. Children under 10 are free of charge.

Your guide will be sporting a Walk T.O. t-shirt and holding a sign.

Bathrooms and Breaks

Video/Audio Taping
No video or audio taping is allowed on our tours.
