Additional Information

Join us on a one-hour journey to a must-visit spot in Vancouver - Gastown. Guided by a competent photographer and a seasoned guide, you’ll master the art of capturing exceptional images of the area’s most scenic locations while gaining insight into their history, particularly under the velvety blanket of the night. Take a leisurely stroll around the stone-paved alleys of Gastown, which houses the renowned Steam Clock, and other lesser-known treasures. The tour wraps up by providing you with a sneak-peak into the city’s top eateries and bars and suggesting other locales that are ideal for after-dark photography.

We will delve into photography techniques such as elongated exposure time for DSLR cameras and how to click nighttime images using mobile phones. If preferred, we can also conduct photo sessions rather than photography classes. We recommend bringing DSLR cameras, however, you are also welcome to use your mobile phone’s camera.

Don’t forget to wear comfortable footwear and layer up! Bring along a camera (any kind will do) and an adventurous spirit!

Great quick tour - My daughter and I did this on our recent trip to Vancouver. The guide was very friendly and personable. He took us on a short walking tour, provided us with some good tips for taking better photographs, and we got some good shots of my daughter and I together. I would definitely recommend this tour if you have an interest in photography.

Great location and useful tips - I learned a lot about some very useful Iphone photo features - and have already put them to good use! Gastown is also a great location for night photography.

Loved this - Loved this. Did this tour with my husband and we had a great experience. If you have even the slightest interest in photography this is a must-do activity. That night time photography of Gastown with all the lights is so unique, especially under the guidance of a knowledgeable guide. Our photo tour guide, Nafees, was very pleasant, very knowledgeable and very patient. Not only did he give us great tips and show us different ways of using our cameras, but he also gave us a lot of historical and other interesting information about the area. That made the walk so much more interesting and enjoyable. He showed us some great locations to capture great photos and I was able to use some of the techniques I learned from him. We also had some photo shoots. We covered so much without feeling rushed or tired. For me, I couldn't ask for a better tour guide. He was in contact with us before and after the tour to make sure we had all information we needed and that everything was okay. My only slight disappointment was that we did not do Chinatown and I would've loved to get night time photos of Chinatown as well, especially the entrance gate. Whereas this tour was advertised as "Gastown and Chinatown Night Photography," it was actually only "Gaston Night Photography." Not sure where the mix-up was. Still, based on the Gas town Night Photography experience, I would give it a 5+ rating and the tour guide a 100%. I would happily do this again and I highly recommend this tour.
