Top 10 Photography Tours in Vancouver, Canada

September 5, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

Irina's tour is a MUST when visiting downtown Vancouver! I have only great things to say! She does a great job of providing information/history behind each site visited! She's also very easy to talk to and extremely well-traveled so I guarantee you'll have some EXCELLENT conversations while on tour! I definitely recommend this experience! I even managed to get some great photos along the way at each stop (be sure to ask her to take your photo- she has an incredible eye!). It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with you, Irina!
