Vancouver, home to Gastown’s Victorian façades, a vibrant Chinatown and towering Sitka Spruce. Embark on a sightseeing tour of the city’s historic neighbourhood, savouring the smells of freshly steamed Siopao in Chinatown before making your way to the leafy sanctuary of Stanley Park to see the First Nations totem poles. Next, visit the Bill Reid Gallery, dedicated to Northwest Indigenous art, for a docent-led tour, then time to explore on your own.
