Vancouver Detours was founded to transform traditional tourism into a valuable educational experience. Since 2008, we've combined critical thinking with exploration, offering a unique perspective on the city’s history, architecture, and public art. Our founder, Alasdair Butcher, recognized the need for deeper insights beyond superficial narratives, leading to the creation of personalized walking tours that engage over 100,000 guests.
Operating on the unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, we strive to present Vancouver as a complex, vibrant city. Our approach, termed 'Pedestrian Pedagogy', ensures that every tour is both insightful and interactive, catering to locals and visitors alike who seek a more profound understanding of our city's cultural landscape.
