Great to do at your own pace - Really enjoyed this tour. It was great to do at your own pace with coffee stops along the way. I had an issue with the code to access the tour but after an email to Viator it was sorted in minutes. You can read or listen to the the information for each stop.

Affordable and flexible, but use caution in this part of town. Some areas are not safe. - You can read the tour if you don’t have headphones or the city is too late. You can start at any point in the tour and skip any stops you don’t want to visit. I learned this after following the Google navigation to blood alley which was unremarkable except that we found ourselves in a graffiti covered and strangely vacant alley that felt unsafe. (Gastown is located in a bad area of town and it is easy to find yourself on a street filled with people using drugs and living on the street where unstable people walk around yelling obscenities. Wish is known this sooner, but travel bloggers fail to include this tidbit) We were more selective of the places we visited after that. However the narration was interesting and informative and very affordable.

Flexible and interesting self guided tour - Our booked walking tour with "real" guide didn't work out (guide didn't turn up) so we downloaded this self guided tour. It was really good and a fraction of the cost - though we'd have preferred a person to person tour. However, this was an excellent alternative and in fact we spread it over two half days which in the end suited us
