Billy 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.
Such an historic insight...

Our tour guide, Rachel, told great stories about the early days of Vacouver's Gastown area. The walk was not too far and on mostly flat ground.
Unique, immersive walk through history

This was a really cool, unique way of learning about Gastown and Vancouver’s origins. Joelle was great, staying in character til the very end. I’d occasionally lose myself in the story and it would feel like I was there. The final passage in the story was very well done to bring you back to reality. Thanks for a great evening!
