Eat Your Cart Out!
Food always tastes better outdoors, especially on a sidewalk! Your clients will experience the best of Vancouver street food culture on this fun, full of life tasting tour. They will sample some international flavours alongside some good ol’ fashioned Canadian classics. Along the way they’ll be introduced to some of the interesting tidbits about history and trends surrounding food in lively Vancouver. By the time they’re done, your clients will become experts in “street meat”. This tour is a true taste of Vancouver!
-
Beer Makes History Better
What could be more Canadian than drinking beer, eh? Especially good British Columbia craft brew! Your clients will enjoy an afternoon of laughs, lagers and fun stories of how Vancouver was built on the tops of whiskey barrels. They will see the most unique view of Vancouver on a guided tour (the inside of a pub) and will have an opportunity to sample some local flavours.
-
Murders, Mysteries, & Mayhem
Your clients will take a walk through Vancouver’s dark side, and hear sinister tales of unsolved murders, unruly riots, notorious gangsters and the nefarious side of the city’s history the other tours won’t talk about. Starting from the Vancouver Art Gallery (where your clients will hear the tawdry tale of its doomed architect), this 90 minute night time walk will explore the wicked events of “Canada’s most livable city.” While Vancouver is undeniably beautiful on the surface, some of its sinister history is absolutely shocking.
