Toronto City and Black Creek Village Tour   posted 14Sep2010

Begin the day with a 2-hour guided tour featuring all of Toronto's highlights.  Lunch will be provided at Black Creek Village.  After lunch, journey back in time to discover life as it was in Black Creek Village during the 1800's.  A tour of Black Creek Village will provide contradst to the morning tour of modern day Toronto.  Black Creek Village is typical of a working village established in south central Ontario between the 17090's and 1860's.  See how the early pioneers who settled in what is now the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) lived and worked.  Many of the buildings are staffed by costumed interpreters and add to the illusion that one has "stepped back in time."
