This is a must experience tour

This was amazing and fun experience. Odd to say that our tour guide made the difference between this being a great tour and an amazing, must-not miss tour.

Wonderful to experience Kensington from a local

This is my second time, taking the tour with guest in from out of town. I was thrilled when Ochile was our tour guide again. She really brings an authentic, knowledgeable perspective on Kensington market.

Toronto’s Multicultural Heart: Kensington Market & Chinatown Walk

Susan_F, Jul 2026

A Good Guide Means Everything

Expert tour guide Kieran was totally responsible for making this very average content tour enjoyable and interesting. The content: Kensington Market... actually a scruffy row of rundown shops and not any sort of actual "market" is eminently skippable -- especially if you've already been to the far better St. Lawrence Market. And Chinatown... a neighborhood that essentially covers the same territory, but with Chinese signage and a few murals is also a miss. If you've traveled worldwide as much as I have and seen vibrant local markets and cultural enclaves, then you'll likely be underwhelmed by what Toronto has on offer. Both Kensington Market and Chinatown are meager, mostly decrepit and potentially threatening if wandering around alone. Fortunately, Kieran was there as my guide. He took some sorry scraps and wove them into a rich, embroidered fabric. Thank you, Kieran
