The Lost Souls of Gastown is one of the most popular walks they offer.

Over one and a half hours, a professional actor or actress guides you through the side streets and alleyways of Gastown.

The Forbidden Vancouver Tour takes a similar route to the Lost Souls of Gastown but tells a different story.

This walk entertains you while also teaching Vancouver’s History of opium dens, prohibition, speakeasies, corruption, crime, and various social sins.
