Fantastic Private Tour Experience!

We had an absolutely fantastic time today with Thinh (Tim)! We started with breakfast at a local cafe; took in the sights & shopping of Granville Island; visited Science World; had lunch at DTF; had drinks at Tap & Barrel; visited the Lookout; and did a bunch of walking, ferry-ing, and train-ing in between. That was just our day's itinerary, since it is fully customizable per your desired stops. Tim was very helpful and accommodating, and the day was paced nicely. We are first time visitors, so it was great to get acquainted with multiple parts of the city and learn about more local places to visit, eat, and shop. We recommend this tour experience so highly for anyone who wants to see the city - whether a local or a visitor.

Operator response

We’re so happy to hear you had such a great day exploring Vancouver with Thinh (Tim)! It sounds like the perfect mix of sightseeing, great food, and local experiences. Thank you for the wonderful recommendation — we’re thrilled you enjoyed your first visit and hope to see you again soon!

Vancouver In A Day

Monica was amazing! She met me at my hotel, was on time and had already planned out the day based on my interests. We literally explored all over Vancouver from the tourist hot spots to lesser known gems. We also used all the various modes of public transport from buses to subway to ferries. Monica was very personable, passionate about the city and really knowledgeable. It was a fast paced, fun day and thrilled I got to see so much

Operator response

What an incredible day that sounds like—thank you for sharing! We're so glad Monica brought such energy, insight, and care into your experience. From hidden gems to ferries and fast-paced fun, it’s clear she made the most of every moment. We’re thrilled it left such a great impression!

Great experience

We spent six hours with Kim who gave us a tour of the city from her own perspective. Kim was very knowledgeable and it was good to hear the story behind buildings and get to see a lot of things that we would otherwise have missed. Throughout the day Kim listened to the group and did small tweaks to encompass specific areas of interest - even taking us to a very funky shoe shop! The stop at Granville Island was a highlight and Kim couldn't do enough to make sure our day went smoothly. Stopping for a beer to give us internet access relieved a lot of stress (another story). By the end of the day I felt that I had made a friend and would recommend Kim to anyone visiting Vancouver.
