  • Vancouver Downtown, Vancouver, Canada
    Meet your guide – the man in pink! – outside Trees Organic Coffee Shop at 930 Burrard Street. You'll soon embark on a 2 hour long adventure into the LGBTQ2+ history and culture of this West Coast metropolis. You'll weave a path through Imperial Court coronations, drag kings at the Quadra, gay ministers at the United Church, Patient Zero, the GRID crisis, and visit urban oasis Nelson Park, until you find yourself in the gaybourhood on Davie Street. The walking tour strolls the historic tree-lined West End as you discover the city's earliest Pride parade, Jim Deva Plaza, bookstore bombings, a transgender campaigner who blew the whistle on the biggest crime in Vancouver history, Vancouver’s secret gay village, and the remarkable story of two-spirited warrior Gone to the Spirits. You’ll finish right in the middle of the action in the Davie Street village with its fantastic variety of bars and restaurants.

I just did The Really Gay Walking Tour in the West End. Omg. So good. I can’t recommend it more. I laughed. I cried. (Literally) It was much better than Cats. (SNL reference from the 80s) guide Glenn is a gifted storyteller and impressive historian. What a treasure in our community. He blew my mind deconstructing notions of gender and sexuality woven into the fabric of our fair city and country. I’m left feeling inspired. Thepinkgayhat.ca

Best part of our trip so far! Our family enjoyed this tour immensely. Glenn is such a knowledgeable and engaging guide. The information he provided was succinct, poignant, and balanced. You could tell his tour is well researched. We very much appreciated that he told both the positive historical achievements to be celebrated yet did not shy away from dark, ugly truths. Thank you, Glenn!

Our LGBTQ+ Employee Resources Group took this tour to celebrate Pride month, and all 12 of us gave it rave reviews. Glenn has meticulously researched the history, and is very passionate about the stories he tells. All of us live in Vancouver and learned so much - we laughed, we cried, we danced, we curtsied. I can not recommend this tour enough!
