5.00I would characterize this as historical drama on the streets of Gastown. Our guide, in period costume, provided insight on the history of the area. It was both fun and fascinating!

5.00Great 90 min walking tour. We did this after a full day at Grouse and Suspension bridge. Our kids were a little tired but my teenage daughter and I loved it. Great historical glimpse in to Gastown. Actress was phenomenal. Would recommend but maybe not to younger kids.
Great historical tour

5.00Very informative and very fun. I thought this was a ghost tour but it was more of a historical tour with some theatrical flair. My guide was very thorough and extremely helpful, plus she gave out candy. The walk was fairly easy and we are not athletic people. The length of the tour is a bit long, ours ran about 2 hours, and very few options for sitting if you have physical limitations.
We had a fantastic tour...

5.00Billy was absolutely fantastic. We loved that he took on the role of George from the late 1800’s and told us the stories from that time. It put a very personal touch to the tour. He was great.
