A Toronto holiday lights tour with a shared mission

The experience encourages you to look closely at the city around you. Spot details, compare answers and work together as the clues reveal where the story goes next.

The destinations remain a surprise, so discovering the route becomes part of the evening. A live host helps guide the adventure and provides hints when your team needs them.

You do not need to know Toronto’s streets or landmarks in advance. Curiosity and a willingness to join in are what matter.

Travel by heated bus with a live host

The tour lasts approximately 60–90 minutes and includes travel on a heated bus with a live English-speaking host.

Some checkpoints are viewed from the vehicle. Others include short outdoor portions, so wear warm layers and comfortable footwear suitable for winter conditions.

The bus gives your group a place to warm up between outdoor moments while the story continues. Seasonal displays and viewing locations may vary.
