Vancouver Audio Tour: West End Wonders, Art, Eats & Urban Legends

Audio guide12 stops

Vancouver’s West End glimmers with glass towers, but beneath its skyline lie echoes of rebellion, sanctuary, and hidden tales that shaped the city’s soul. Set out on a self-guided audio tour to uncover the secrets locals whisper about—the untold histories beneath grand stained glass, between quiet bookshop aisles, and along streets where protest once simmered. What secret divide once rocked the holy walls of St. Andrew’s-Wesley United Church? Who vanished near St. Paul’s Anglican, leaving behind a puzzle that still stirs curiosity? Why does Little Sister’s Book and Art Emporium house a collection so controversial it sparked a legal uproar? Move through chapels flickering with history, past shelves inked with resistance, along avenues where courage and scandal walk side by side. Each step reveals a new truth, lighting veins of drama and discovery through the city’s heart. Unlock the hidden Vancouver. Begin your journey here.
