of a Three Hour Step On Toronto Tour.
It is roughly a circular
route taking in as many highlights as we can. Depending on weather and timing we will stop at two or three of the major features.

You will be travel up
the main north south road axis of Toronto, Yonge Street to the chic retail area of Bloor Yorkville. Then its up Avenue Road
traveling through the upper crust area of Forest Hill, viewing Upper Canada College and Forest Hill Village. We will then
pass historic Spadina House and its neighbour Casa Loma.
Proceeding down Spadina
to Bloor Street, pass the Bata Museum and the campus of the University of Toronto. Turning south on Avenue Road we will pass
the Royal Ontario Museum and the legislature of the Province of Ontario Queens Park. Continuing our journey south we move
westerly to Spadina again and follow it down to Toronto's large and famous China Town and Kensington Market. Swinging east
along Queen Street we'll pass through trendy hip Queen St West and the Entertainment District with it's retail shops, theatres,
clubs and restaurants.
We will swing west along
King Street over to Bathurst and down to the historic Ft. York that has protected Toronto since 1793. Next is the Harbourfront
were you will have a great view of the harbour and islands and look back to the towering skyline of Toronto and feel dwarfed
by the CN Tower. We will travel over to Torontos stomach the St. Lawrence market and right next door is the Flat Iron Building

guide will accompany you to the Niagara Region. Traveling via the Queen Elizabeth way we will proceed passing the communities
of Mississauga, Oakville, Clarkson, Burlington, Hamilton and the smaller communities of Stoney Creek, Grimsby, Beamsville,

Mist boat tour approaching the falls or Journey Behind the Falls. Another option is to allow your group to wander the pleasant
parks along the river from the Rainbow Bridge to the Table Rock Complex and into town. Lunch can either be at Niagara Falls
