My TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence-winning History Walks of Vancouver's heritage neighbourhoods are back Saturday mornings for a limited time in the early Spring of 2017.
(2017 Late Summer Schedule TBA).
Tours start at 10am and usually last 2 to 2.5 hours depending on group size and pace. Tours that begin and end at or near the point of departure are noted as "Circle Tours". Except for my West End History Walk (not offered in the regular walk schedule this Spring but available as a private tour) which has some hills, all the rest of my History Walks are relatively flat and easy to walk.
Details on the content of the East End/Strathcona History Walk (Tour 1) and the East End's Working/Wild Side History Walk (Tour 2) can be found by clicking on the appropriate link above. The West End (Tour 3) and Grandview (Tour 4) History Walks are at this time only available as private tours.
