This tour will cover the stunning 1920s skyscrapers built along Bay Street in downtown Toronto. It will also include visits to modern skyscrapers like the TD Centre built in 1966 by famed International Style architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Commerce Court built by IM Pei in 1972. Then we will discover some of the newest just-built skyscrapers as well as the stunning art deco Concourse Building 1929 with murals by the Group of 7.

We will end the tour at noon with lunch at Sap restaurant located at 401 Bay Street, (own expense).
