Hi there! I'm Monica, your enthusiastic host in the beautiful city of Vancouver. I’m passionate about the vibrant neighborhoods and the stunning natural surroundings that make this city so unique. From the serene marina patios to the bustling local markets, I love immersing myself in everything Vancouver offers. You'll often find me biking around Coal Harbour, exploring the art galleries, and indulging in the delicious offerings of marine-side restaurants. I adore the beach fun, bike routes, and Indigenous art that bring our community to life. Whether it's a journey through Downtown or a visit to the Shipyards in North Vancouver, I've got you. I'm also a regular at the Richmond Steveston marina fish market and know the best spots for cafés, bakeries, and fish specialties. Join me on an urban adventure or a nature escape—let’s make your Vancouver experience unforgettable!

My reviews

    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.

    Monica was amazing! She met me at my hotel, was there on time and had already planned out the day taking me to all the key sights but also showing me places off the beaten path and using all the modes of local transportation. She was really personable and easy to chat to, she obviously loves Vancouver and her passion and knowledge came across. We covered the whole city it seemed and it ticked everything off I needed plus more as she thought of things on the fly.
