In 1938, the Toronto Transportation Commission (now known as the Toronto Transit Commission) unleashed the world’s largest fleet of streetcars—745 in total—to the streets of Toronto. It served as the main system of public transportation until the Yonge subway line opened in 1954 and stayed in service until 1995.

Since then, two vintage streetcars—#4500 and #4549—have been kept for special sightseeing services on a network of streetcar tracks. The “Old Town of York & Today’s Modern Toronto” tour starts on York Street just south of the Sheraton Centre Hotel and winds for three hours throughout downtown. The tour is quite exclusive—you can only go during certain times—and pricey. But if you have a large group of tourists with you, even around 10 people, it can be quite affordable for anyone to split up the costs. Alternatively, ask if you can go when another group books the tour as well, so that both your and their group can benefit from a larger discount.
