This self-guided GPS audio walk will take you along the two busiest streets of Toronto: Front Street and Yonge Street. This tour will be Toronto tourism on speed: we're walking past most of the biggest attractions and landmarks in an hour. Join me while we walk past the Skydome, the CN Tower, the Hockey Hall of Fame, and maybe catch a festival in Yonge and Dundas Square. Mid afternoon to the evening is the best time to take this tour. Ideally, take the walk during the Spring and Summer when baseball season is in full swing. Places to stop along the way include Steam Whistle Brewing, Yonge and Dundas Square, Nathan Phillips Square, and any Tim Horton's if you're hungry. The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

we were collected from our accommodation on time, however then had to do other pick ups in town which meant that we really lost about 45 mins in doing this. Our guide and driver were really good and we felt we were well looked after.

Segway are fun to ride and super easy to learn! Do not be intimidated, it takes only a few minutes to learn, and then it's pure happiness! Get away from the crowd and enjoy a relaxing ride in a beautiful town on the shores of Lake Ontario. We will cover in total 7 km (4.3 miles) but it won't feel like it at all! We will stop several times along the way to learn more about the rich history of the town and to take pictures. This is the perfect activity for all ages, only 20 min away from Niagara Falls. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed and will feel proud of yourself!

Our bike tour with Escape Bicycle Tours was the highlight of our family Ottawa getaway! Our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide shared many memorable historical facts and fun anecdotes about the capital. Our party included two kids, aged 10 and 12, and our guide made sure we felt safe in the traffic. (Most of the tour was on bike paths.) We rode 14 kilometers, crossing three bridges, rode over a waterfall and enjoyed many great views of the city. The Escape headquarters is on a car-free street (situated a stone's throw from Parliament Hill), which made fitting the bikes stress-free. The bikes were top notch, and we enjoyed exceptional customer service. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the experience - I highly recommend it!
