Traveler Reviews
We had a great walk through downtown looking at all the Art Deco buildings and inside some. Our local guide Lena was fun & very well knowledged (also for other tips about Vancouver). Even though if you are not a fan of Art Deco, I would still recommend this walk as you will look different at the city and the buildings in it. Great to hear about the history of some of the buildings & the hidden gems.

My boyfriend and I went on this tour early December and we both absolutely loved it! We had Lina as our tour guide and she made the tour riveting from start to finish! She is a fantastic story teller and very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of our city! I can’t wait to go on another one!

Tim was an outstanding tour host. His expansive knowledge of local history, interesting anecdotes & historical photos made the tour so much more enjoyable. Three hours passed by so quickly, could have kept going!
Highly recommend this tour, having done many walking tours around the world. Memorable day in Vancouver, thanks to Tim, Thierry & Forbidden Tours.
