How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Surrounded by snow-capped peaks and sparkling ocean, Vancouver’s beauty puts other cities to shame. Canada’s most magnificent metropolis is a vast collection of explorable neighborhoods best discovered on foot – even better if you have a Vancouverite by your side! Maybe you’ll explore vibrant Davie Village and its rainbow crosswalk – the personification of the city’s liberal identity – or perhaps, in a city known for its nature, you’ll seek out sprawling green spaces like beloved Nelson Park, where the West End Farmers Market sets up shop in the summer months. You might discover the true extent of Vancouver’s cultural (and culinary) diversity in Chinatown before chilling out in Kitsilano, a laid-back beachfront area with stunning views.

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.

Kim our guide showed us all the beautiful sites in Vancouver. She showed us beautiful architectural gems, we got to navigate the city in local transportation and got to see a different perspective of the city. She’s wonderful, has a great personality and you will feel like spending a day with an old friend. I would highly recommend her. Thanks.

We had a fantastic day touring all over Vancouver with our guide Derek. He was very knowledgeable about the city, he took us to some really fun and off the beaten path locations, which is what we asked for...an insider's tour of the city. We enjoyed his company thoroughly and had a great day!
