Toronto Local Beer Tour: 2 Beers at 2 Unique & Historical Pubs

Toronto 4 hours

Meet your guide in Old Town Toronto and set off on foot through the historic streets that trace the city’s 19th-century roots. Follow the scent of freshly brewed coffee to your first stop, to hear how Toronto’s working-class history shaped its cafe culture. Then, step inside St. Lawrence Market, a local landmark for more than two centuries. Sample the city’s signature peameal bacon sandwich and learn how a local pharmacist created Canada Dry during Prohibition. As you stroll through the Market District, bite into a classic butter tart—Canada’s most beloved sweet treat—and listen to stories of cholera outbreaks, social reformers, and waves of immigrants who transformed Toronto into the diverse metropolis it is today. Your guide brings the city’s history to life through its food, connecting every flavor to the people who made it possible. End your walk at a cozy local pub, where you can buy a craft beer or cider to toast Toronto’s past, present, and future. With a maximum of 12 guests, this tour offers a relaxed pace and plenty of opportunities to ask questions, swap stories, and get personalized tips for where to eat and explore next.
