Description

Meet your guide outside the Old Navy, at 708 Robson Street in the heart of Downtown Vancouver, with ample parking and transit options nearby, and begin your walking tour. Prepare to have your breath taken away as you view the ornate Art Deco masterpiece, the Marine Building. It’s not called the most beautiful space in all of Vancouver for nothing. You’ll stroll down hallways inside the Hotel Vancouver designed to resemble a luxurious 1930s ocean cruise liner. And you’ll stop in bustling Robson Square to admire the Vancouver Art Gallery, with its Roman style columns and famous domed roof. But…don’t be fooled. Behind the walls of these majestic buildings lie tales of scandal, deceit, and intrigue. And your friendly local guide is ready to spill the beans. Like the story of the architect brutally murdered by his wife’s jealous lover. Or the Chief of Police who liked his dirty gambling bribes delivered in paper bags. To cap it all off as you wind your way through the city hearing all of the fabulous history hidden within the walls of these magnificent buildings you'll be treated to a selection of 3 gourment goodies form some of Vancouver's best pastry chefs and chocolatiers. Get ready for the most fascinating and delicious 2 hours of your visit to Vancouver! Expert Tip: remember to bring your phone fully charged – you won’t want to miss out on the incredible photo opportunities.
