www.winnipeggroups.com 3 WHEN IN WINNIPEG See the City through Expert Eyes While Winnipeg's inherent beauty is quick to behold, it sometimes takes a seasoned pro to pull back the curtain and bring out our storied history — be it by city tour, trolley or by trail. FABULOUSLY FRENCH Across the Red River, on the east side of the city sits Winnipeg's French Quarter, St. Boniface. While its riverbanks offer the most stunning panoramas of the city, this historical neighbourhood will easily sway your group's attention, especially on the Old St. Boniface Walking Tour which spotlights the stunning St. Boniface Cathedral, Le Musée de Saint-Boniface Museum — the city's oldest building — and the many sights, sounds, shops and cafes that ooze with French flavour. WHEELING HISTORY For 90 minutes the Winnipeg Trolley Company's Heart of a Nation City Tour will whisk your group around on their eye-catching orange trolley to can't-miss attractions and storied neighbourhoods. Throughout your enjoyable journey their expert guide shares anecdotes and details that will have your guests fawning over Manitoba's capital. SEE THE CITY WITH A CHARACTER You name the theme and SquarePeg Tours will set the stage, guide your group, and bring the adventure. Their tours are equal parts performance, drama and intrigue including: Boom and Bust Winnipeg, the Naughty Bawdy Tour, Murder Mystery and Mayhem, and Wicked Winnipeg. They also customize tours for all ages from student-oriented to specific programs for seniors. STORIED FACADES Immerse your group in the architectural grandeur of downtown Winnipeg where the history of North America's largest (and most handsome) selection of turn-of-the- century architecture awaits. Exchange District Walking Tours show how Winnipeg went from a boomtown, known as the Chicago of the North, to it's current status as Canada's cultural oasis — all while elaborating on the colourful characters, architecture and events that have shaped this area. BREAKING THE CODE The sphinxes, Freemasonic symbols, hieroglyphic inscriptions, numerological codes and intriguing architectural features within the Manitoba Legislative Building often transfix casual observers. The meaning behind such symbology lay hidden in this striking neoclassical building for nearly a century until architectural historian Dr. Frank Albo solved this striking puzzle. Dr. Albo's Hermetic Code Tour illuminates all the intricacies of this incredible building, making for an evening of decoding that would have Dan Brown (the author of The Da Vinci Code) transfixed.
