Sins of the City Walking Tours

Coming back in June!

Kicking off the last week of June, our Sins of the City walking tours will take you on a historical journey through Vancouver's grittier past. Choose between: Vice, Dice, & Opium Pipes or Soulfood & Strathcona.

These tours are sure to keep you on your toes!

"Vice, Dice, & Opium Pipes" will take you on a journey through the vibrant Chinatown community, once the stomping grounds of gangs and corrupt city officials. Hear tales of corruption, crime, and entrepreneurship with key players like successful Chinese businessman Yip Sang, and Joe Celona, also known as Vancouver’s Al Capone.

Minimum booking of 2 is needed for tour to go ahead. Ticket includes museum admission.

Participants aged 10 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult.
