Soy simplemente un típico chico gay irlandés-ucraniano del norte de Ontario establecido desde hace mucho tiempo en la metrópolis multicultural de Toronto, un lugar que el escritor de viajes Jan Morris caracterizó una vez, no sin cierta amabilidad, como “el segundo mejor premio de la vida”. Soy un cineasta ganador de dos premios Emmy, autor publicado, experto histórico y guía turístico a tiempo parcial para itinerarios de Toronto y Niágara. He vivido en el extrañamente maravilloso Kensington Market de Toronto durante más de tres décadas y todavía me siento lleno de energía por el entorno urbano increíblemente diverso, sorprendentemente armonioso, culturalmente explosivo y en constante cambio de la ciudad. ¡Me encanta mi delicioso deber de interpretar nuestra ciudad engañosamente poco glamorosa tanto para visitantes como para recién llegados!
Patrick was a fun and knowledgeable guy made it more fun and less scary to walk in Kenstigton. Bear in mind that the tour focuses on Kenstigton though . It would be more convenient if cards were accepted for payment.
We never got to take tour because tour guide had to cancel due to family health issues.
Se canceló el tour media hora antes, cuando ya estábamos de camino :(
Patrick did an amazing job showing us around his his vibrant neighborhood, with a wealth of information and insight, personal stories, local history and recommendations (we tried the Tacos he suggested after the tour and it was a big hit). The whole experience was more like a conversation with a friend, rather than a guided tour, and we learned a lot about life in Canada and the versatile backgrounds of it's citizens. It was one of the best walks we ever attended and I can recommend it to everyone.
Patrick is more than a Kensington Market guide. He has lived there for over 3 decades and has a great love for it. We loved Patrick’s authenticity. He took us into some local shops - a well known artist, a friend - we enjoyed the encounter. He took us into a cheese shop that gave us delicious samples. And we went into a local bakery. Patrick is knowledgeable beyond book knowledge. He knows the streets and people in Kensington Market. Thank you for the coffee and home made apple pie, Patrick, it was delicious!
