Walking with your expert guide along the downtown area, you will find architectural gems such as the Vancouver Lookout or the Flatiron Building, churches, parks, and more. You will also understand the philosophy of "vancouverism" that distinguishes local urbanism and spend a fantastic day in the company of other international travelers.

Not far from this area, as your group rests by the beautiful Gastown Steam Clock, you will witness why this charming neighborhood is the most fashionable in the city, and enjoy its open and tolerant culture, its countless cafes, restaurants, lively theaters and boutiques full of souvenirs. Yaletown is another lively downtown neighborhood with interesting breweries worth exploring.
