The guide, Hillary, was very enthusiastic, high energy, and informative. We got to learn a lot about different parts of Vancouver being featured in movies and TV shows with great asides from the guide, who is also an actor with experience in Hollywood. One potentially downside to the experience was the length of the tour which lasted four hours instead of the planned three. But it was very worthwhile and we would recommend it to others.

Interesting, informative and nice size group. Our guide (my apologies I forgot her name : ( ) was entertaining and very energetic. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience
Excellent tour with Hillary and lucky enough for it to be a 4:1 intimate group for just our family! A great blend of knowledge related to the movies, locations and ‘the trade’ with some great clips on the iPad, alongside some insightful commentary on the city and its history. Time very well spent!
Awesome experience- Ryan was great and fun - videos shown while at the spot of filming were super interesting - highly recommend
Hillary was incredible. Knowledgeable and personable. It’s not just about film and tv but a great history of Vancouver. Highly recommend
I really enjoyed this tour and our guide, Erwin, really brought it to life through use of an iPad to demonstrate where movies were shot. Sometimes you’re standing in the middle of where a scene is. Erwin’s humour and knowledge of the industry also contributed to making this a very worthwhile activity!
The guide did a fantastic job. She was very knowledgeable and always took the time to answer my questions about the filming locations of the movies and TV series. If she wasn't completely sure whether a scene had been filmed at a particular location, she took the time to check and find out for me. As a big Hillary fan, I really appreciated her insights. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience!
Our guide was very informative and fun. Great way to tour the city. And see how sites and buildings are used in films, TV and car commercials. I highly recommend this tour
Thanks for the great review and recommendation! Glad you were able to see the city and how the buildings are used by major productions in a variety of ways. We hope to see you on another one of our tours in the future!
Erwin was such a great tour guide! He gave us so many stories and tips not only about Hollywood North but also as an actor himself. It's a good tour for those looking to get into the industry as well. Walking did not feel tiring because we had enough rest/stops, but also the tour itself was fun! Would love to take the other tours as well
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Erwin and found his industry insights valuable. It's great to hear the tour was not only entertaining but also helpful for those interested in getting into the film and television industry. We're happy the pace felt comfortable, and we look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future.
This Hollywood North tour was super interesting, with real examples of buildings and sites from TV and movies, plus clips from the productions so we could see how they "transformed" the site for the screen. It also had some really cool architectural and historical info.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're glad you enjoyed seeing how Vancouver's locations are transformed for film and television, as well as learning about the city's architecture and history along the way. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour in the future.
