Whether its an office social, conference tour, school field trip, or an off-season visit, we are happy to make any of our regular tours a private experience just for you and your group!
Private and Off-Schedule Tours
Sometimes our public tour offerings don’t quite fit your plans. Whether it is because you are visiting outside of our regular season, want a private experience for you and your friends, or are looking to organize a weekday outing for the office, we are happy to provide an experience that fits your needs and schedules.
The cost for an off-schedule or private tour is $295+HST for the first 10 people, and $10+HST for every additional person after that. Private boat tours have a flat fee of $295+HST, but also require vessel rental rates which vary depending on the size of boat required and time of day ($800-$1200).
All 13 of our tour routes are available year round, with our boat tours available between May and October.

Custom Tours
None of our tour routes quite fit your needs? Need a combination of a few? The TSA may be able to put together a custom route that perfectly fits what you are looking for. Custom tours start at $295 + tax, and final pricing is determined by level of customization. Let’s chat!
School Group Tours
Looking for a unique student outing?
TSA tours make the perfect field trip! Whether you are a local high school or a visiting university group, our tours are a fun and educational opportunity to get out of the classroom and learn through experiencing our city’s buildings and landscapes. And best of all, if you are an Ontario public school, our tours are offered at no charge to you and your students!
Thanks to the support of the Ontario Association of Architects, we are able to provide our walking tours free of charge for all Ontario public schools and youth groups. Organizations able to make a donation to support the tours program are always appreciated. For groups outside of Ontario, including visiting universities and colleges, the cost of a TSA walking tour is $295+HST. Please note that for boat tours, rental costs of the vessel are additional and we are unable to provide a discount on that cost.

The TSA strives to host inclusive, accessible tours that enable all attendees to fully engage with the experience. TSA Walking Tours take place on mostly flat terrain, such as city sidewalks and paths.
