Whether you are a life-long resident of Manitoba or a visitor to our Province, you will be entertained and enlightened by our historical tours of Winnipeg. Costumed interpreters will help you explore the European and Native history of this “Crossroads of a Continent”.

Along the way we’ll paddle and walk through fabled locales such as the Forks, St Boniface Cathedral and the grave of Louis Riel, Fort Gibraltar, and the Alexander Docks.

Short shore walks will enliven your paddling experience as you listen to the stories of the voyageurs. Combine any two or three of the options below for a riverfront view of the past – the choice is yours.
