Our note

The topics are set with you beforehand, so come to the request form with your unit already in mind. Adding the Tam Kung Temple visit costs an extra $1 per student paid to the temple, which is easy to forget in a budget.

What the children do

A Chinatown tour built after consultation with the teacher about specific needs and learning outcomes. Popular topics include general Chinatown history, reasons for coming to Canada, immigration stories and hardships, becoming Canadian, Chinese customs, Chinese New Year, and ancient Chinese culture and symbols. Tours include storytelling, hands-on activities and demonstrations. Cost $150 for the group. The company can also help arrange lunch in one of Chinatown's restaurants afterwards.

Walk the streets and alleys of Chinatown with a guide, hearing immigration and settlement stories on the spot and taking part in hands-on activities and demonstrations along the way.

Good to know

Group-priced outdoor walking tour with an optional temple stop for $1 per student. Duration, group size, notice period and facilities along the route are not published.

Sources disagree. Two of their pages name different meeting points, both near the corner of Fisgard and Government. Confirm which one when you book, so nobody is waiting on the wrong corner.

Sources disagree. Their pages give different walking distances for the same tour, between 1.5 and 3 kilometres. Plan for the longer one with young children.
