A self guided audio tour of Toronto.
Toronto’s story begins with the Mississaugas, who occupied this plateau for more than ten thousand years. The British arrived, establishing York in 1793, a settlement that endured the American occupation during the War of 1812. By 1834, the town became the City of Toronto. Today, this city operates as Canada’s major financial and cultural hub, drawing residents and businesses from over 200 ethnic origins. Explore a place where global commerce meets deep Indigenous roots.
In the app, 100 stops in Toronto are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
