Our Guides
Walk T.O. guides are people who know Toronto deeply — its neighbourhoods, communities, and the forces shaping it. Many come from backgrounds in education, theatre, and the arts. All are skilled facilitators who draw students into genuine discussion rather than just delivering information. They engage with this city seriously, and that comes through on every tour.
Adam
As a parent to two kids, Adam loves both teaching and gaining insights from young minds, finding each moment in life to be a learning opportunity. At Walk T.O., they enjoy sharing new ideas with students and watching their minds open up to explore unknown possibilities. They appreciate how each tour gives students a chance to discuss the real world and the freedom to express their thoughts and feelings about it. Adam feels privileged to witness and participate in these conversations with students and teachers.
Alessandro
A bit of a theatre nerd, Alessandro loves exploring Toronto’s vibrant arts scene—whether it’s catching a new performance, wandering through museums, or discovering contemporary art galleries. At Walk T.O., he gets to share this passion for culture and history in ways that spark curiosity and critical thinking. On tour, Alessandro encourages students to notice hidden details, ask questions, and use logic and curiosity to uncover answers. For him, the city is always changing, yet its hidden corners and stories are waiting to be discovered; and he’s eager to explore them with every group he meets.
Eddie
Having lived in Toronto his entire life, Eddie loves sharing the wonders of the city with others, particularly with his students at Walk T.O. He uses his background as a theater performer to engage with students, bringing the stories of Toronto to life through his dynamic and captivating storytelling. Eddie’s love for food and family often comes into play as he introduces students to the city’s diverse culinary scene and vibrant community life. He particularly appreciates how often teachers seem as eager to learn from the tours as the students.
Likam
When he’s not leading students through the vibrant streets of Toronto, Likam is busy crafting stories as a writer and making a difference as a worker in the non-profit sector. At Walk T.O., Likam finds joy in connecting with students and sharing his passion for the city’s diverse facets: from its rich art scene to its ever-evolving urban landscape, all while advocating for social justice. He treasures the meaningful interactions and insights gained from each tour.
Sarika
When she’s not working in medical research, Sarika enjoys fencing, sewing, playing piano, reading, and dancing. At Walk T.O., she loves learning about the city and sharing its stories with young minds. On her tours, Sarika aims to create a welcoming dialogue where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas while having fun. She also finds joy in seeing both students and teachers appreciate the fresh perspective that comes from learning out in the community, surrounded by the vibrant energy of the city, rather than in a traditional classroom setting.

Testimonials
“The Art Walk was amazing; my grade 6 students got to walk, climb, draw and photograph Toronto. I look forward to taking this field trip every year.”
–Andrea C, Grade 7 Teacher, Toronto District Catholic School Board
“We had an amazing time on the walk. We learned a great deal and had a lot to talk about when we got back to school! Our guide was amazing! She was really patient, understanding and accommodating with my ESL students. The students said they actually were able to understand her fully and were very grateful that she was so friendly and patient. We also did the activity from the website, which definitely furthered the students understanding of everything we learned. “
