Historic Nelson BC Guided Walking Tour

Nelson, British Columbia has a unique abundance of big city cosmopolitan amenities coupled with authentic small town charm. You will feel the funky vibe, authenticity and entrepreneurial spirit following a quick stroll down historic Baker Street.

Downtown Nelson is alive with locals and visitors. Enjoy blocks of great shopping with a wide variety of eclectic specialty shops and boutiques. You’ll also find galleries, coffee shops, antiques, museum browsing, alluring back alleys, over a dozen pubs, live music venues, dance clubs and more!

Before prospectors arrived in search of gold and silver, the area where Nelson now sits was home for thousands of years to the Ktunaxa and Sinixt First Nations, who fished once-abundant salmon.

Come tour the many heritage buildings in downtown Nelson and listen to shocking, inspiring and strange tales of crime, triumph, fame and debauchery; including ghosts, brothels, rum running, BC bud and more!
