Vancouver DeTours

Vancouver DeTours is a top-rated walking tour organization offering urban explorations of the social history, architecture, public art, and contemporary processes that make up Vancouver. We provide free public tours, customised private tours, and educational trips for schools and conferences. DeTours is brought to you by the acclaimed guide-team behind Tour Guys Vancouver, and we have guided over 100,000 visitors, locals, community organisations, dignitaries, students, planners, and the occasional dog on learning excursions around the city over the past decade.

We’re strong proponents of experiencing cities through the pedestrian perspective, and our guides offer a unique and unfiltered local’s take on the city. DeTours prides itself on bringing the lesser-known and hidden histories and spaces of Vancouver into view.

DeTours operates on the unceded ancestral territories of the the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and Sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We acknowledge and are grateful to our hosts.
