A morning city tour with a local step on guide shows us all the highlights: CN Tower, Parliament Buildings, High Park (the city’s largest), the clamshell blocks of New City Hall, the enormous downtown banking district, the ultra-modern Sky Dome Stadium and the St. Lawrence Market. We will step back in time as we enter a world of imperial grace and splendor at Toronto's majestic landmark castle, Casa Loma.

Canada's foremost castle is complete with decorated suites, secret passages, an 800-foot tunnel, towers, stables, and beautiful 5-acre estate gardens.

Much more than your standard museum, the Hockey Hall of Fame is the ultimate tribute to the greatest game on earth with state-of-the-art technology, breathtaking interactive displays and games. Take shots at real-time goalies; stop the shots of Gretzky and Messier or even call the play-by-play of some of hockey's greatest goals. Have a photo taken with the Stanley Cup.
