Forbidden Vancouver

Will, Chief Storyteller
Join Vancouver's boldest walking tour company on a daring, interactive and theatrical adventure into our city's dirty history.

On Prohibition City you are an undercover newspaper reporter on Vancouver's oldest and meanest streets and alleyways. See former speakeasies and 'blind pigs'. Discover the truth about LD. Taylor, Vancouver's notorious prohibition-era mayor. Find out what happened to Vancouver's most beautiful showgirl, and more.

On the Lost Souls of Gastown you adventure into our city's darkest and earliest history. Re-live the devastation of the great fire of 1886. See Vancouver's first bawdy house, first fire station and oldest operating hotel. And discover who really killed John Bray.
