Overview

Join us for a private two to three hour walk around the University of Toronto's St. George campus, just for your group. We visit King's College Circle, University College, Convocation Hall, Soldiers' Tower and Philosopher's Walk. Your guide shares the story of the campus, from the King's College charter in 1827 onward.

The route is outdoors, so it works best with comfortable shoes and clothes for the weather. If you would like a longer day, a three-hour option adds the Royal Ontario Museum just off campus. We email you the exact meeting spot and start time once your booking is confirmed.
