Vancouver: Forbidden Vancouver Guided Tour – Vancouver, Canada

EXPERIENCE

Your guide will share the tales of the villains, crooked politicians, and mobsters that ruled the city in the roaring twenties when the saloon doors swung closed and Vancouver became a den of illicit booze, crime, and vice.

As you walk past ornate heritage buildings, down narrow alleyways unchanged in over a hundred years, and along historic streets once teeming with bawdy houses, opium dens, and blind pigs, you ll discover a unique perspective on Vancouver s history. 

Finish the walking tour on the cobblestone streets of Maple Tree Square, surrounded by Gastown’s most talked about bars and restaurants. It’s the perfect place to share a post-tour dinner or drinks after learning why former mayor LD Taylor once said, this is a port city, we ain t no Sunday School town!
