The Lost Souls of Gastown Tour

Meeting point: Monaco Cafe (356 Water Street)

Join us for a spine-tingling adventure through the dark and mysterious history of Gastown. This roving one-person play is led by a professional actor in character as one of our city's long lost souls.

Tour runs every night for a limited time.

Frequently asked questions

Is this experience wheelchair accessible?

This tour is electric wheelchair accessible and is led on mostly flat terrain (with some historic cobblestones). The tour does start with a small hill, which may be more challenging for guests in a conventional/non-electric wheelchair.

How much walking is involved?

The tour is a leisurely stroll through Gastown. There is one short hill right at the beginning of the tour. The total distance covered is about 1.5 km, or 1 mile.

Is it suitable for children?

Due to mature themes and potential for intense or sensitive content, we don’t recommended this experience for children under ten.

Does the guide accept tips?

Absolutely! Our guides accept cash or cards (via a portable Square device). If you enjoyed your guide’s performance then a tip is greatly appreciated.

Is this a ghost tour?

The Lost Souls of Gastown Tour isn’t a ghost tour, it’s a live performance experience based on the city’s most gothic early history. You’ll follow the lamplight of your guide, a professional actor, as you discover the city’s past and stories of smallpox, fire, and murder.
