Travelling and discovering new places is my passion . I have been working with students and newcomers to Canada and have organized many city tours .I like meeting people from around the world and will go above and beyond to make your time spent with me a memorable one . I do free walks and have standard as well as tailor made packages for personalized city tours . I also cover excellent but often ignored family destinations just outside the city of Toronto .

About the tour

Ethnic neighbourhood tour

Okay , so everyone says Canada is a country of immigrants and most immigrants come to the Greater Toronto Area ( GTA ) but what does this mean to you ? Join me for a walking tour of Thorncliffe park drive and see the daily family hustle bustle of a Canadian family .

We will be walking in one of the most densely populated immigrant areas of the city and talking about the residents and the services the various levels of govt provides . We will be walking thru and seeing the shopping , working , playing and community networking options available to families that help them integrate into the mainstream society.

Learn how this area transformed from a horse racing track where betting on horses was the norm to one of the most densely populated areas in Toronto . This walk is best combined with a visit to the Aga Khan Museum .

We end this walk at a bus stop and you can catch a direct bus (15 mins bus ride) to the Aga Khan Museum . Most people do this walk in the morning and then the museum right after that .

Most similar tours cost $20 per person and while there is no charge to join my tour , your tips keep me motivated to bring you more such ventures . Tips are greatly appreciated.

What's the price?

A guruwalk is a pay-what-you want walking tour, which means, it's completely free to book and join the group, but the 'guru' expects to be rewarded once the tour ends. Some people give 5, some people give 50, you choose the price.

Reservations in advance are mandatory because if the 'guru' doesn't see any bookings one day, she will not show up at the meeting point. Or if she has too many 'walkers' that day, won't allow you to join without the reservation. Booking is completely free, fast and easy. Book your guruwalk now!
