Amy was our tour guide and she gives an amazing theatrical presentation of the past in Vancouver. All in our group we're completely entertained and fascinated. This included two 60 year olds, two 30 year olds and one 9 year old. The 9 year old was a bit young for some information (brothels, perfect description of smallpox), but Amy was wonderfully sensitive to this and worked around beautifully. She makes all feel included. Even after a lengthy time (2 hours ish), our 9 year old was wondering when we could do another tour "just like that one". She absolutely loved the stories.

This is not a traditional ghost tour, but it was a great experience. Our guide Stewart was passionate and animated. We got to see parts of Gastown that we didn’t in our own and also hear the history.

I would characterize this as historical drama on the streets of Gastown. Our guide, in period costume, provided insight on the history of the area. It was both fun and fascinating!
