Why take this tour?

To begin your tour, your guide will meet you in front of the Dr. James Till and Ernest McCulloch Statue - which celebrates the two pioneers of stem cell science - in front of Science World. 

From there, your guide will take you to the Olympic Village. The village was built in 2010 for the Winter Olympic Games to house athletes and Olympic officials, and has now become residential housing. The structure is considered one of the greenest communities in the world.

Continuing along the Olympic village, you will pass some incredible sights, such as Habitat Island, Vancouver Labyrinth, Grassy Knoll, and Stamps Landing. From there, you will take a ferry to Granville Island. 

Once there, you will explore the island, passing by the multitude of restaurants, stores, gallaries, theatres, and parks that the island is known and loved for.

You will finish your stroll at the Public Market, which is home to more than 50 independent food purveyors, and contributes to the Island’s appeal as a renowned culinary destination.

While you are at the market, you will receive a donut from Lee’s Donuts that will be sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. Afterward, you will have the chance to explore the island on your own.

When you are finished, your tour will come to a close and you will have the option to either allow your guide to lead you back to your starting point via ferry, or if you’d prefer to spend more time on the island, you are free to stay and leave at your leisure.
