Loved this. Did this tour with my husband and we had a great experience. If you have even the slightest interest in photography this is a must-do activity. That night time photography of Gastown with all the lights is so unique, especially under the guidance of a knowledgeable guide. Our photo tour guide, Nafees, was very pleasant, very knowledgeable and very patient. Not only did he give us great tips and show us different ways of using our cameras, but he also gave us a lot of historical and other interesting information about the area. That made the walk so much more interesting and enjoyable. He showed us some great locations to capture great photos and I was able to use some of the techniques I learned from him. We also had some photo shoots. We covered so much without feeling rushed or tired. For me, I couldn't ask for a better tour guide. He was in contact with us before and after the tour to make sure we had all information we needed and that everything was okay. My only slight disappointment was that we did not do Chinatown and I would've loved to get night time photos of Chinatown as well, especially the entrance gate. Whereas this tour was advertised as "Gastown and Chinatown Night Photography," it was actually only "Gaston Night Photography." Not sure where the mix-up was. Still, based on the Gas town Night Photography experience, I would give it a 5+ rating and the tour guide a 100%. I would happily do this again and I highly recommend this tour.
