A Tour to Remember
Kirstemq, 13-11-2022
We had a wonderful time and Glenn gave a magnificent tour. He was very knowledgeable and was able to answer our questions about other sights that did not necessarily pertain to the tour proper. I hope to come back to Vancouver and go on the rest of the tours offered.
Absolutely fantastic guide

Fascinating and Forbidden

Fascinating look in to a period in Vancouver's history that even most locals know little about. Our tour guide Glenn (double n) was knowledgeable, witty and professional with lots of time for questions.
Thank you! I will come back.

What a great tour. Glenn was knowledgeable and kind. I loved learning about Canadian prohibition. The last stop had a great view for photos. I'll definitely do another tour when I come back.
