I was born in a country that doesn't exist. Stamped with a nationality of a country I've never been to, and then when I became a Canadian citizen, my "motherland" refused me as her son. This makes me into a perfect Torontonian. Combined with many years of experiences in the tourism industry and as a tour guide and instructor, I will be the best choice for your visit to Toronto. I work in education, I ride a motorcycle, and I play poker. I have been living in Toronto for more than half of my life and will be able to accommodate any theme and provide any information that you would like, especially how to spend your precious time in this beautiful city.

Tour description

IMPORTANT: make sure to have a talk with me before coming to a meeting spot! Graffiti Alley and Street Art in Toronto. We will walk along Queen Street West for about 1.5-2 hours.
We will sneak into back alleys, where graffiti is an art form and I will teach you how to read the walls of an urban environment, specifically Toronto, and all over the world. This walk is “off the beaten path” and is very popular with younger generations 😊

Аллея Граффити и Квин стрит, обычно 1.5- 2 часа, но у меня ближе к двум получается, просто много всего 😃 Этот маршрут очень популярен у молодёжи, у меня много школьных групп от 12ти лет и выше часто бывает. История субкультуры именно уличного искусства, как правильно читать стены города и чем Торонто от всех других городов отличается.
