I'm a Torontonian that's passionate about helping people explore the many wonderful places that it has to offer.

The Toronto Landmarks tour will show you some of the most popular buildings/attractions in the downtown core. We will start our tour at Union Station and finish at St Lawrence Market.

I promote a positive, welcoming and inclusive atmosphere for all of my tours.

If you enjoy tours packed with historical information/facts, this is NOT the tour for you.

If you want to see cool things, explore interesting pockets of the city, and find out about the city's many great coffee spots/bars/resto's/patios/craft beer spots, this is the tour for you. :)

Shane Dixon Tour Guide

Saw so many exciting, interesting, and fun things in Toronto. Ate yummy foods thanks to our amazing tour guide Shane Dixon. He was filled with so much information to tell us, history and fun! Definitely a lot of walking but that is what made it interesting and how we were able to see and learn so much about the city. Shane was the best part of our tour, meeting an exceptional person is sometimes hard to come by these days and that is who Shane is. A joy to be around !
Great experience

Shane was probably the best guide that my girlfriend and I could’ve had for our first time in Toronto. He is very passionate about what he does, and you could tell that he really tried to tailor our experience to our specific wants and needs with the tour. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend the whole time. He read between the lines with our requests for things to see, and he created a tour that hit those places as well places he thought we would like based on our requests. He did an amazing job, and this tour was an excellent price!!! I was shocked that we got a 3 hour tour out of it. He even bought my girlfriend a snack to try?? Such a great experience. I would recommend Shane and his tours to any and everyone coming to visit Toronto. We had never been here before, but even after the tour, he provided a list of the best restaurants and things to do in the area, as well as price ranges for each. I do tours often when I travel, as I see it as an effective and cheap way to see so much stuff in a short time. This is by far one of the best I’ve ever done. Thank you, Shane, for your attentiveness and laid back attitude throughout our tour!

Our tour with Shane was superb - the highlight of our stay in Toronto. He was so engaging and informative, and gave us a real sense of the diverse nature of the city. From the colourfulness of Kensington Market to the raw, artistic energy of Graffiti Alley, we ventured into corners of Toronto we would never have found on our own. These neighbourhoods showed us a different and unexpected side to the city, standing in sharp contrast to the gleaming skyscrapers downtown. Shane was so knowledgeable and justifiably proud of his wonderful city - he was a great guide, very enthusiastic and full of energy, and it was lovely to round off the tour sharing a craft ale with him in one of his favourite spots. Fabulous - would highly recommend to anyone visiting Toronto!
Wonderful tour guide for our family trip to Toronto

Shane was great, he took all over Toronto we walked to so many things I can't name them all. We stopped at a cute coffee shop and went to Kensington Market, that was a neat community, we walked through Chinatown. Shane talked and fit in like an old friend. I'm really glad we got a guide for our family trip to Toronto and that he was so great! 10/10 recommend!
