The best Vancouver night tours & experiences with locals

Vancouver is as pretty as a city has any right to be. By day, Canada’s scenic gem is a cultural hub and epicenter for the arts, framed by flawless sea and mountains. But at night, when daylight is replaced by twinkling city lights, Vancouver transforms into a playground. On night tours in Vancouver with City Unscripted, the city’s electrifying after-dark entertainment is yours to discover. Anyone with a guidebook can get sucked into the tourist traps, but with a knowledgeable Vancouverite leading the way, you’ll uncover the hotspots and hidden gems of the Vancouver nightlife scene most travelers wouldn’t know existed. Are you ready for a night you’ll never forget?

A night the way you like it

The party scene in Vancouver can compete with the best in the world, and there’s no lack of speaker-shaking nightlife, crowded dancefloors and buzzing bars. If you love nightlife in its purest sense, this is the place to be – but night tours in Vancouver don’t just cater for party people. Vancouver has a long list of after-dark entertainment options that are equally exciting. With a seemingly endless supply of comedy clubs, late-night bowling alleys, burlesque shows, theater performances, museum nights and shopping opportunities, Vancouver nightlife is as vast and varied as it gets.

Neighborhoods for every night owl

Depending on the neighborhood you end up in on night tours in Vancouver, the Vancouver nightlife scene can be as relaxed or raucous as you want it to be. There’s neon-lit Granville Street, an entertainment district lined with pubs, clubs and live music venues. Then there’s upmarket Yaletown with its sleek cocktail lounges and super-trendy hangouts. If it’s a laid-back night of drinking and dining you’re after, historic Gastown is the place to be, while beachside Kitsilano is packed with locals-only pubs and neighborhood restaurants. Where will night tours in Vancouver take you?

Germain (Bruno :) ) was such a great tour guide! I lived that he included the local views on the political environment and how these are shown in the art/architecture around Montreal. Germain was very knowledgeable and so much fun to hang out with for the day. It was the perfect tour to do the day we got there so we could plan out the rest of our visit based upon the sites we enjoyed most. Thanks so much!!

What a great city Montréal is, and Gabriel made it so much more enjoyable. Gabriel took us to places we wouldn’t have known and really explained the city and history to us. If this is your first or even second trip to Montréal, I recommend this tour!
