There’s no cost to visit Toronto’s St. Lawrence Market itself, but many travelers like to take guided tours that either focus on the market or that visit it alongside other local attractions. Expect to pay from US$25 for a guided group walking tour that stops at the market, or from $55 for a food-focused tour including samples. Full-day or private tours are generally more expensive.
