    Wonderful story telling from a women’s perspective, glad we chose Sara’s ghost as our guide. My 12 year old daughter thought the story telling was powerful and insightful, she also thinks Gastown needs a ‘Birdie’ statue!

  • Great overview of Vancouver history.

    Very fun and informative experience. Gave a great history of the early history of Vancouver - both positive and negative. Guide (Amy?) was very passionate and articulate about it.

    We had an absolutely fantastic time. It was not just a history tour, but a beautifully executed piece of immersive theatre. Our guide, performing as George Troll (played by Cole), was phenomenal—his storytelling skills, character presence, and dramatic flair truly brought Victorian Vancouver to life. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Vancouver who loves a good story and a touch of the macabre. Thank you, George, for an unforgettable evening!
