As Torontonians, our goal is to share all the best things to do, places to go, food & drink, and hidden gems of the city we call home.
Not to mention guides to all the best events, festivals, music, and sports year round.
Toronto is not just a concrete jungle, it’s actually a series of neighbourhoods, each with a unique vibe and identity just waiting to be explored.
We’re the most diverse city on earth, an inclusive destination for everyone, and an amazing place to visit and live.
A little about us…
My name is Ashlea, I’m the founder and brain behind Truly Toronto.
As a travel writer, it’s my job to explore different places and tell the truth about what they’re like. I want to inspire people to get off the beaten path and dig a little deeper into anywhere they visit.
In 2024, after searching high and low for something fun and new to do for a friend’s birthday I realized the call was coming from inside the house.
I was travelling the world to take people below the surface and my own city, Toronto, was being overlooked! So I created Truly Toronto…
Local EXPERT, At Your Service
Truly Local Guides
Tired of the same old same? Yes, we’ve all heard of the CN Tower, but what else is there to see and do in Toronto?
Don’t glue yourself to Yonge Street (longest street in the world, by the way). There’s so much more to Toronto when you explore the neighbourhoods and go where the locals go.
We’ve written guides to all our favourite areas of Toronto so you know exactly where to stay, what to do, what to eat, and where to shop off the main drag. If you want to really see Toronto, you have to do it the truly local way.
