Sono semplicemente un tipico ragazzo gay irlandese-ucraino dell'Ontario settentrionale, residente da tempo nella metropoli multiculturale di Toronto, un luogo che lo scrittore di viaggi Jan Morris una volta definì, non scortesemente, “il secondo miglior premio nella vita”. Sono un regista due volte vincitore di un Emmy Award, un autore pubblicato, un esperto storico e una guida turistica part-time per gli itinerari di Toronto e Niagara. Ho vissuto nello stranamente meraviglioso Kensington Market di Toronto per oltre tre decenni e mi trovo ancora energizzato dall'ambiente urbano incredibilmente diversificato, sorprendentemente armonioso, culturalmente esplosivo e in costante cambiamento della città. Adoro il mio delizioso dovere di interpretare la nostra città ingannevolmente poco affascinante sia per i visitatori che per i nuovi arrivati!
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!
