Vancouver DeTours

The walking tour of Gastown was fantastic! I have been on several free walking tours of cities around the world, and this one was by far the best. Alasdair gave a fascinating, informative, and engaging tour with a excellent mix of history and contemporary dynamics in the city. Highly recommend this tour for both visitors and locals to get to know Vancouver more deeply.

Appreciated the Vancouver Winter Mural Festival tour on a chilly damp evening. The guide showed the key locations for the festival but also included other less known but great artwork such as the Susan Point stained glass windows at Christ Church Cathedral with the funders dog included (visible from outside and inside).

Had a very enjoyable and insightful mural walking tour of Mount Pleasant with wonderful guide Jayne! She was very knowledgeable about each of the murals we’d viewed, along with the back stories of the artists, their visions and methods for crafting their art, as well as how the art ties in with the local culture and society of the time.

I’ve been a resident of Mount Pleasant/Olympic Village and hadn’t even seen most of the murals Jayne showed us - I was pleasantly surprised and amazed at all the street art we *don’t* see along the main streets!

Highly recommend, 5 stars!

Went to a guided wall mural tour recently that was a part of VMF. Fantastic experience! So many interesting details about murals history and the way they're commissioned. I thought I saw most of murals and yet the tour guide managed to surprise me. Would love to do more tours with them in the future

My partner and I did a Vancouver Mural Festival tour through Mount Pleasant last week and we loved it. Jayne was our tour guide and she was wonderful! We were so impressed with how much knowledge she was able to retain about all of the different artists and murals. Her delivery was great and she made it a lot of fun. Absolutely recommend this tour to everyone! We wish we got to do the other ones as well! Looking forward to next years.

We want on two of the mural tours this year (but have been on others in the past) by this group of highly educated, informative, and friendly group. If you want to increase your experience visiting the city, or just a local wanting to learn more, I highly recommend any of these tours.

Very good tour! Honest and blatant about all aspects of the history of Vancouver, even the unpleasant and embarrassing parts, which was refreshing. Erik was knowledgeable and friendly and I felt like I got a crash course on the city in a few hours.
