Tour description

Hi everyone and welcome to Vancouver! I am a native Vancouverite with a passion for history and I love showing my city to people from around the world. 

In this tour, we will visit the historic areas of Vancouver in both Gastown and Chinatown, while learning about Vancouvers indigenous communities. 
Some of the tour highlights are:

  • Downtown Vancouver's highlights.
  • Christchurch Cathedral
  • Vancouver Waterfront with views of the majestic North Shore mountains.
  • Canada Place to see real Totem Poles and learn about Vancouver's rich Indigenous history.
  • Walking the streets of Gastown
  • Gastown Steam clock to hear the iconic clock sing its tune.
  • Hearing about the great Vancouver fire
  • Maple Tree Square 

During the tour, I will be happy to answer all your questions, as well as the best-kept secrets that some locals don't even know. 

Meeting location: North Square at Vancouver Art Gallery (plaza off Georgia St). I will be standing at the bottom of the large staircase with the 2 lion statues wearing a grey backpack.


Please note that if you tip, please do so in CAD or USD. 


I also offer private and group tours all around Vancouver, feel free to message me for more information.
