Tour description
Vancouver is one of the most beautifully located cities in the world, wrapped between the Pacific Ocean and the Coast Mountains and consistently ranked among the most liveable places on earth. Young, green and multicultural, it blends a historic core with a spectacular natural setting. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and charm.
You will explore the cobbled streets of historic Gastown, stroll the harbour waterfront, and hear about the city's origins as a frontier town and its transformation into a Pacific metropolis. Along the way you will take in views of the mountains and the sea. Scenic and vibrant, Vancouver is a wonderful city to explore on foot.
