Here's what an ESL Instructor had to say about our ESL package:

"I was delighted to learn that a classroom package is also available. The combination of audio and ... read-along handouts allowed my class of second language learners to follow and understand the text more easily. This was no small challenge in a group that included a wide range of language levels and abilities. The students enthusiastically scored it as "interesting" and "useful".

The histories and stories which are well-researched, clearly presented and enriched with area appropriate interviews give the listener a wonderful sense of place. I think every new and even not so new arrival to Vancouver, visitor, immigrant, international student or resident should take advantage of these self-directed tours."
