Small Group Toronto City Tour and Ritz Holiday Market Reservations

Looking for a festive day in Toronto that combines sightseeing with somewhere special to spend the evening? Start with a small group Toronto city tour, then plan a visit to the Curated Holiday Market at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto.

It’s an appealing combination for first-time visitors, couples planning a holiday date and friends looking for a Christmas outing downtown. Discover the city with a local guide, then leave time for seasonal shopping, something warm to drink and a relaxed evening together.

Discover Toronto with a local guide

Gray Line Toronto’s Small Group Toronto City Tour offers a 90-minute introduction to the city, with local stories, opportunities to ask questions and a photo stop at the famous Toronto sign. Departures are listed from 55 York Street, outside Tim Hortons. Check the booking calendar for your preferred date and time.

A smaller group makes it easier to enjoy the conversation. Ask about a neighbourhood that catches your attention, get ideas for the rest of your stay and discover places you might want to revisit.

For holiday visitors, a shorter sightseeing experience also leaves room for lunch, shopping or a hotel break before an evening reservation.

Add the Ritz-Carlton Holiday Market to your day

The Curated Holiday Market takes place outdoors on EPOCH’s patio at The Ritz-Carlton, Toronto, at 181 Wellington Street West. The published seasonal schedule runs November 5–December 30, with opening hours of 4–10 p.m. Monday–Saturday and noon–5 p.m. Sunday.

Admission is complimentary. Food, drinks, gifts and selected experiences are purchased separately. The venue recommends reservations, especially during busy periods.

Browse the seasonal offerings, look for a thoughtful gift and take time to enjoy the setting. This is a lovely way to turn a sightseeing visit into a fuller Toronto holiday experience without filling every hour with activities.

Plan your city tour and market reservation

Choose your city tour departure first, then arrange a market reservation that leaves enough time between the two experiences. On most days, the market opens in the late afternoon, so plan lunch or another downtown activity between your tour and evening visit.

Contact Gray Line Toronto if you would like help coordinating the day. Your market reservation should be confirmed separately unless your selected package explicitly includes it.

The market is outdoors, so bring a warm coat, gloves and comfortable footwear. If you want a full restaurant meal, book that separately from your market visit.
