Highlights
- The CN Tower is a characteristic hallmark of Toronto’s skyline and attracts over two million global visitors each year. The ‘CN’ in its name was initially an acronym for Canadian National, the railway establishment that constructed the tower. The tower is equipped with several observation platforms, a spinning dining place at approximately 1,151 feet (351 metres), and a recreational hub.
- Harbourfront Centre operates as a global centre for modern arts, culture, and ideas, and is a registered, charitable not-for-profit cultural firm managing a 10-acre site on Toronto’s core seashore. Harbourfront Centre provides round-the-clock programs 52 weeks a year, seven days weekly, assisting a comprehensive array of artists and communities.
- Sugar Beach is a city beach park based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, unveiled in 2010. It is situated across from Redpath Sugar Refinery in Toronto’s eastern East Bayfront. Much like HTO Park on the west, the beach is not designed to allow wading or swimming in Lake Ontario, but rather serves as a waterfront public place for rest, leisure, and social activities.
- The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse placed on the Toronto Islands in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Commenced in 1808, it is the oldest standing lighthouse on the Great Lakes and one amongst Toronto’s oldest structures. The lighthouse is most famous for the downfall of its first caretaker, John Paul Radelmüller, a German native whose 1815 homicide led to Toronto’s longest-lasting ghost tale.
- Rogers Centre (originally SkyDome) is a versatile retractable roof stadium in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, nestled just southwest of the CN Tower near the northern coastline of Lake Ontario. Founded in 1989 on the former Railway Lands, it plays host to the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB) and holds several large stadium concerts annually.
- Scotiabank Arena, formerly recognized as Air Canada Centre (ACC), is a multi-purpose venue located on Bay Street in the South Core section of Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It serves as the base for the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL). Scotiabank Arena also hosts other events like concerts, political conventions, and video game tournaments.
- The Redpath Sugar Refinery is a sugar containment, refining, and museum compound in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The facility is located east of Downtown Toronto, at the crossover of Queens Quay and Jarvis Street.

It was ok - It was just ok. It was a good chance to snap some photos of the skyline/harbor but beyond that I wouldn’t call it a tour. The view didn’t really change and just went in a circle. I would have liked to have gone further out and around the harbor/islands instead of just in a circle. Tour could have just been 30 mins easily.

I strongly suggest that... - I strongly suggest that the tour should be cancelled when you can see that the weather conditions are terrible. It was foggy throughout the time. Cancellation policy is not flexible for me to even change my dates or get a refund. A few sensible calls should be taken by the tour company themselves.
