Join The Forbidden Vancouver Tour!
Come with us for a walking tour of historic Vancouver and discover how speakeasies, opium dens, and crime turned unassuming Vancouver into the British Columbian capital of sin…on the Forbidden Vancouver Tour. Proceeds from these four special dates go to support Covenant House.
This walking tour explores Vancouver’s most historic neighbourhoods — Victory Square, Chinatown, and Gastown. Starting in the 1890s, you’ll discover the story of Vancouver’s hidden history while strolling along the city’s most historic streets.
Along the way you’ll view some of the city’s most beautiful architecture like the Sun Tower and the Dominion Building, once in competition to become the tallest building in the British Empire. The tour ends in Gastown, just moments from the city’s best bars and restaurants.
