Walk #1– west end tour

The West End of Vancouver is a confluence of supernatural beauty and urban vitality. This is Vancouver’s premiere downtown community where you feast on ocean, mountain and city views. Explore this active, diverse community with us where Vancouverites walk, blade, cycle and swim the boardwalks and beaches of their own back yard. 
  
The tour begins on the edge of the city, at the world famous Stanley Park, a 1000 acre urban forest rich in First Nations mythology. It meanders through the West End’s safe, tree-lined streets to spicy Davie Street, the dynamic heart of the West End. Join us on this
90 minute walk where towering condos share shaded, residential streets with heritage architecture. Consistently rated as one of the most livable places on Earth, the West End is classic Vancouver. 

Start Time: 10 am Wednesday, Friday, Saturday 
NO WALKS ON JULY 14, 15, 16

Walk #3– yaletown tour

Yaletown is bristling, modern, and dynamic; one foot wearing a railroad work boot in the formerly muddy False Creek, while a second dons a diamond studded high heel, to show off the places to see, and be seen in new Vancouver. Hip urban bars and restaurants buzz in the shadow of this towering glass and brick industrial heritage hybrid community. Punt-dogs lead yoga-mat-toting temptresses to marinas or penthouses. Days spent resuscitating credit cards in cardiac arrest after marathon boutique shopping, followed by nights roaming crowded romantic streets, dinning, dancing and watching the who’s who of Hollywood North. For 90 minutes, we walk and daydream through this world as guests... and imagine what if.

Start Time: 2:30 pm Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday
NO WALKS ON JULY 14, 15, 16

Where: The Yaletown walking tour begins at Vancouver Public Library, outside on the South steps, facing Robson Street. Have a look at our map! Download a PDF version of the map by clicking here!
