Learn about the rich history of Vancouver on my Vancouver tours as the area has been inhabited for 10,000 years by the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. On our walking tours, you will hear stories about what life was like for the early residents in the 19th century when the city began as a hub for logging and gold miners.
Unlike other tours, your guide will provide visual context for all our stops with digital photos on an iPad. With a background in history and archaeology, your tour will cover many topic not discussed in other tours and you will leave with an in-depth understanding of Vancouver.

The tour will start at the bottom of the stairs in šxʷƛ̓ənəq Xwtl'e7énḵ Square (Vancouver Art Gallery North Plaza). I will be the tall guy in the pink shirt. :)
Once you book the tour, your guide will reach out to you to finalize the pickup/meeting details. This is a walking tour, so the tour portion will be on foot, but we can pick up/drop off before and after the tour to your hotel or preferred location.
