Step Into Vancouver’s Haunting Past in Gastown
Follow the footsteps of early settlers, gold rush adventurers and unfortunate souls whose stories shaped the city of Vancouver. The Lost Souls of Gastown Tour immerses visitors in the dark and fascinating history behind Vancouver’s most storied neighborhood.
A City Forged in Turmoil
Explore the origins of Vancouver, once known as the Granville Townsite, a frontier settlement marked by rapid growth and hardship. Your journey reveals how devastating fires, repeating smallpox outbreaks and unsolved crimes left a permanent mark on the city’s character. Led by a costumed local actor, you’ll be captivated by tales of those who endured and survived Gastown’s most tumultuous days.
Theatre Meets Walking Tour
Unlike a typical walking tour, this experience unfolds as a live theatrical performance rooted in real events. Scripted by Forbidden Vancouver’s chief storyteller, each step brings immersive stories to life as you wind through narrow alleys, past century-old buildings and onto famed Maple Tree Square for a dramatic finale. Through the actor’s vivid portrayals, you’ll meet the figures, both famous and forgotten, who played a role in Vancouver’s past.
Discover Hidden Corners and Memorable Sights
Along the way, you’ll encounter atmospheric back lanes and historic sites that once witnessed fire, intrigue and scandal. Learn how Vancouver rebuilt after disaster, uncover the mysteries that linger in its oldest streets and leave with a new perspective on the city’s origins. This is the tour for those seeking authentic stories and a genuinely engaging evening out in Gastown.
Who Should Join?
The Lost Souls of Gastown Tour is designed for adult audiences seeking a blend of history and entertainment. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime resident, prepare for an evening where the city’s past comes alive in unforgettable detail.
