About
Love long walks on the beach? Try a romantic boardwalk stroll along the Humber River that recounts true stories of love and loss throughout the history of Toronto. Take in the beautiful city lights at dusk with accompanying music as you listen to stories from tour host Adam Bunch, who will tell tales of heartbreaking farewells, torrid affairs, and long-lasting romance. Hear about the legacy of two artists who challenged the city’s attitudes toward same-sex relationships, the war-time romance behind Toronto’s most notorious highway, a French-Canadian fur trader’s four weddings, and many more. On a backdrop of picturesque shoreline views, learn about how the landscape of the Humber has been shaped by thousands of years of people falling in love.
Walking tours will be in large groups of people. We recommend wearing a mask because physical distancing cannot be possible.
