Having lived in Toronto and area for many years, I have never thought of myself as a tourist and therefore, usually avoided all tourist type of things. As I mentioned in the previous post, this trip was different. After the Blue Jays game I was walking along Front Street back to the Royal York Hotel and came across a tour bus that floats!
It is called the Hippo Bus and is run by Toronto Hippo Tours. The idea is basically you can take a tour bus around the downtown core and then do a little trip out on the water of Lake Ontario seeing Ontario Place and the marina etc.
If you are ever in Toronto and are looking for a unique experience I would highly recommend this. Sit as close to the front of the bus as possible for the best view and experience – especially when you are leaving the land and entering the water! (Oh, and make sure that the window is closed).
yeah Hippo Tours are guided urban safaris that make a splash as they introduce you to Toronto. These unique tours take you past many of the city’s major landmarks, such as the CNE, the SkyDome (Rogers Centre), the Hockey Hall of Fame, Hummingbird Centre, Air Canada Centre, CN Tower, Toronto Islands, Ontario Place, Eaton Centre, Osgoode Hall, and the new and old City Halls. I would recommend everyone of them who are going for a vacation to Toronto Downtown
Hippo tours! sounds very interesting! and he looks so cute,i think it will be huge fun to take a Hippo ride, its very different way of promoting the tourism, it will an experience in itself.Will definitely Go for it whenever I will be visiting Toronto City. It will crazy fun
