Overview

We start this private two-hour walk at the Cathedral Church of St. James on King Street East, a Gothic Revival church with a tower and spire of about 305 feet. When the cathedral is open to visitors, we head inside before stepping out into St. James Park and its gardens, fountain and gazebo.

From there we walk through Old Town, which goes back to 1793, stopping at St. Lawrence Market and strolling along Front Street to the Hockey Hall of Fame. It is your group only, and we keep the pace easy.
