This is an awesome tour curated and delivered by someone passionate about relating the stories of LGBTQ+ folk in Vancouver. And like the best stories, dark and light and colours abound. Glenn starts the tour from a place of loving respect for the land and its Indigenous peoples that sets the tone for an insightful, moving walk through downtown. On a chilly windswept March Sunday, a friend and I celebrated International Women’s Day learning about inspiring men, women and non-binary folk who made our world a better place through their lives and commitment. Outstanding!

What a fantastic 2-hour tour packed with so much meaningful information, helping us sketch in yet another part of the history of Vancouver. For 2 hours our guide Glenn offered up dozens of stories - the first Pride parades in the 1970s, the Little Sister's bookstore that was the site of anti-gay bombings during the 1980s, the United Church, which evolved into one of most open and affirming churches for LGBT individuals, the life of Ted Northe, activist who influenced Pierre Trudeau to decriminalize homosexuality in 1969, the impact of intersectionality of the Indigenous and LGBT communities...and so much more. Glenn is a brilliant and engaging guide and his tour was well researched.

I was visiting from Toronto and wanted to learn about Vancouver’s queer history. This was the gayest tour ever!!! Glenn was an excellent guide and kept the group very engaged. I laughed, I cried, I learned so much about Vancouver’s queer history. I would highly recommend this tour!!

This may have been our #1 activity during our 2 weeks in BC. Glenn is a fantastic tour guide, and it was even more special to my partner and I to learn that he's the one who did all the research and designed the tour. His passion and devotion to his community comes through in his thoughtful narrative, in how many people confided very personal stories in him while he was creating the tour, and in how many people recognize him on the streets in Davie Village. It was humbling and an honour to get to listen to someone who's helping preserve and share our history. If you're considering doing this tour - just do it, you won't regret it, and you'll laugh & learn more than you expect. - 2 Ontario queers who are so glad they googled "lgbtq tourism vancouver"
