In-Person Tour Information

We are excited to host in-person tours again and ask for your help and patience in making the experience as safe as possible for everyone. All in-person events will follow Toronto Public Health guidelines and enhanced Heritage Toronto safety measures including:

Registration Required

You will not be able to join a Tour group if you have not registered ahead of time through our website.

Individual sound systems

We have purchased individual sound systems to ensure physical distancing and improve the quality of the experience. Your system will be synched to a transmitter worn by the tour leader. It will sound like the tour leader is standing right next to you, even if you are 20 feet apart!

Registration fee

To offset the cost of administering, purchasing and sanitizing all equipment, a $20 fee is required for all in-person tours this year and must be paid in advance when registering.

Limited tour capacity

The number of people that can safely gather on tour will be determined by Public Health guidelines and may change over the course of the Tours season.

Contactless check-in

This will include contact tracing and self-screening for all participants.

Contactless donations

We will also be introducing contactless payment methods on Tours for people who wish to make a donation to our charity.

 

For everyone’s safety and comfort, we respectfully ask all participants to wear a mask during in-person tours. Masks will be available upon request.
