Explore inside Downtown Vancouver’s most famous heritage buildings as you discover the sinful history of the city’s past, and the delicious sweet treats of its present.
You'll enjoy a private VIP viewing inside Art Deco masterpiece the Marine Building as the incredible finale to this one-of-a-kind Vancouver experience. Don't miss out: we're the only Vancouver tour company approved for private viewings inside!
Vancouver is one of North America's most walkable cities. You'll enjoy a gentle stroll with your friendly and knowledgeable guide through the bustling streets of downtown as you weave a path from one beautiful heritage building to the next.
But beware...behind the ornate exteriors of these heritage beauties, lie tales of murder, corruption and scandal. Your guide will share all the juicy details from our city's shady past, while you savour gourmet goodies from some of Vancouvers very best pastry chefs and chocolatiers.

Ashlyn was a great guide and story teller. She was very aware of each of us - including our tag along Spidey! Entertaining and informational!

It was a fun and informative tour. The tour guide, Ashland, was awesome: knowledgeable of the city's history and passionate about the subject, she was upbeat in her presentation and managed the tour group efficiently. We would rate this tour as a must-do tour while in Vancouver. We will certainly participate in this tour again, if our journeys bring us back to Vancouver.
