Immerse yourself in the chilling dramas of historic Gastown as you venture into Vancouver's earliest and most gruesome history on this 90-minute walking tour. Follow the lamplight of your guide as you discover the terror of a Great Fire that ate up Gastown in minutes, the long forgotten plague of smallpox, and the unsolved murder of John Bray.
Designed for adult audiences, the experience is both a walking tour and a theatre piece. Your guide is a professional actor, performing in character throughout. Every story is grounded in documented Vancouver history, taken from the city archives. The plot line is woven together as the tragic tale of one person's life, ending in a dramatic finale in Gastown's Maple Tree Square.
Every one of Gastown's must-see sites and landmarks is visited on the walk, the oldest hotel, the Gastown Steam Clock, you’ll see how Vancouver looked before and after the Great Fire, explore notorious Gaoler's Mews, and walk down the back alleys of Water Street to famous Maple Tree Square.
Do not expect a ghost tour or conventional walking tour – this is a performance experience that will pull you so deep into the swirling lamplight and darkened alleys of Gastown’s murky past, you may have a hard time finding your way back out…
Other things to note
We run the tours rain or shine, if it is raining, be sure to pack an umbrella and wear your rain boots! There are no bathroom breaks on the tour.

We'll meet in front of Buro Coffee and I'll invite you to follow me as I relive the Klondike Gold Rush at the Hotel Victorian. As we step deeper into Gastown, we'll visit Water Street, the Gastown Steam Clock, Gaoler's Mews and famous Maple Tree square.
I was dissatisfied that this was not a ghost tour. The name of the tour should be changed to reflect a more realistic description of the tour.
I felt more historic facts to the walk and more suspense to the story could be added and smaller group sizes.

Better bring an extra pair of underwear, because we were spooked outta our britches! Our host Eric was amazing! Never broke character, very interactive, and great at storytelling. But watch out for that host Jim- terrible guy. 10/10 would recommend!

We really enjoyed our experience on this tour. Will was an excellent storyteller and was well versed in the history of Gastown. He really did put on show, stayed in character the entire time and made everyone feel welcomed. Definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for something unique to do during their time in Vancouver.
