Wonderful Day in Vancouver

Our guide, Kim Merrick, customized the tour to our requests and interests - and she — and the tour — were FABULOUS!! We could not have asked for a better day. BTW, we booked 6 hours with Kim, and only wish we had more time with her.

Operator response

It’s great to know the day exceeded your expectations and that you would have liked even more time with Kim, that’s the best compliment we can receive. We’re delighted that you had such a fabulous experience. Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We hope to welcome you again in the future for another memorable experience!

Walking, sights, and convos

We had a fabulous 4-hour walking tour of Vancouver hosted by Derek of City Unscripted! We walked around False Creek through Vancouver's bustling downtown, pockets of heritage homes nestled in autumn trees, rows of Gastown shops, the historic Chinatown, and the LGBTQ+ neighborhood filled with bars, restaurants, and safe spaces. Lots of walking, punctuated by wonderful conversations over coffee and a lunch break. Excellent recommendations by Derek. We didn't really feel like we were on a "tour," but walking with a dear old friend.

Operator response

Hi Maca, How wonderful to hear that Derek made your Vancouver visit feel like a walk with a friend, as it’s our concept! Super glad you got to dive deep into the city's heart and history. Your support means the world!

Walking: a great way to see Vancouver.

We saw Gastown and Chinatown. Alexandra pointed things out that we would not have known about ourselves such as the Canadian geese and where to get great souvenirs and food.
