During peak season, all of our vehicles are open-top double-deckers buses that afford you the best possible view of Toronto in all its glory.

CitySightseeing Toronto uses only the finest open-top Routemaster double-deckers. Originally introduced by London Transport, these distinctive buses were so well designed that they outlasted later replacement models to remain in regular service until 2005. Only 2,876 of these incredible vehicles were ever built and approximately 1,000 remain in existence today.

The hop-on-hop-off City tour is 2 hours long with the first departure every morning is at 9:00 am from stop #17. Our buses run as often as every 20 minutes during the peak summer months. Please feel free to contact us as your travel date nears for the most current scheduling information.
Each and every bus (as well as the boat) has at least one live guide on board. These official CitySightseeing Toronto guides are fun, friendly, and informative. They will animate the sights and attractions along our route and are more than happy to give you advice on how to make the most of your stay in our city.








Our boat is named the Harbour Star. It docks at the foot of Harbourfront Centre’s West Pier (stop #17).
The cruise features a live guide delivering an entertaining and informative commentary as the boat winds its way through the Toronto Inner Harbour and the 14 Islands. Three distinct seating options are available: outdoors under the canopy on the upper deck, outdoors on the water-level sundeck, and inside at tables on the lower level. The lower level also houses washrooms and a bar.
The tour lasts 45 minutes with departures every hour and fifteen minutes. Please feel free to contact us as your travel date nears for the most current scheduling information.
