Our six interactive, educational walking tours explore media, art and architecture, the environment, urban geography and social issues. Our talented, university-educated guides gear three of our walks (Media, Art and Waterfront) to suit students from grades 4-12. The Urban Geography Tour is suitable for grades 7 and up. Our Kensington Market Hunt is aimed at Grades 5-8. We can accommodate up to 150 students at once. And the learning doesn’t stop after the tour. Most walks come with free, in-class activities linked to the curriculum, encouraging deeper exploration of key concepts. Find out more about each walk below.
