Tuesdays through Sundays – Hourly from 10 am – 5 pm**, with the last tour starting at 4 pm.
Experience our signature tour, “What We Treasure”, delivered by Cultural Ambassadors who share their own stories and first-hand cultural experiences. Part of the Canadian Signature Experiences, our What We Treasure tour is a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience found only in Canada.
