Story

PROHIBITION CITY
In 1917, Prohibition hit Vancouver harder than a slug of bathtub gin, knocking the city to its knees.

Saloon doors swung closed for good, forcing law-abiding citizens into an illicit world of bootlegged spirits and mob-run drinking dens.

Throw yourself at the mercy of Vancouver’s oldest and meanest streets. But be warned, you’ll need sharp wits – and an even sharper pencil – to survive in Prohibition City.

THE LOST SOULS OF GASTOWN
After a night of whiskey and cards at the saloon, gold prospector John Bray staggered out onto the streets of Victorian-era Gastown. He never made it back to his hotel.

Robbed and shot three times in the head, he wandered the streets for two delirious weeks before the bullets finally killed him.

With tales of hustlers and thieves, vagabonds and bawdy girls, the Lost Souls of Gastown is a gothic theatre adventure. You’ll be pulled so deep into the swirling lamplight and darkened alleys of our city’s murky past, you may have a hard time finding your way back out…

SECRETS OF THE PENTHOUSE
A night of intrigue, scandal and humour behind the scenes at the infamous Penthouse Nightclub. Hosted by club owner Danny Filippone – with guest appearances, including retired Vancouver Police officers who once raided the club – and topped off with a hearty Italian dinner and cabaret show.

Did a lost souls of gastown walking tour, very interesting, and the guide is a great story teller. Learn lots history in a fun way
Amazing tours! We did the Stanley Park walking tour. We learned so much that we didn't know about the park. Highly recommended for locals and tourists. The tour guide is knowledgable and super friendly. We are booking a different tour with them!
I did the Forbidden Vancouver Walking tour. Very insightful and great history lesson in my own backyard. I took great interest in the Chinese history lesson. Tim was very passionate and Engaging. Great way to spend an Wednesday evening. Love the #tourismchallenge
Amazing storytelling! We did the Lost Souls of Gastown tour and learned so much, even as long-time locals. I highly recommend their blog too, if you want to do some more reading!
Amazing tour company if your history buff like my self that love the Darkside of history this is for you I love how they dress the part they also guide you around Gastown with a lantern. It make you feel like your back time.
