What travelers think of our Canada experiences

This was the best way to start my trip. Erika was so kind and accommodating. We got to see the best parts of Vancouver, and she shared so much knowledge about the buildings and the neighborhoods.

Excellent. Nas was my guide. He was very flexible about changing the schedule to things that interested me specifically. Very eager to help take pictures, alter the schedule to fit in things I needed, or answer questions I had. Very knowledgeable about the city and its history. I would HIGHLY recommend him.

Kim was fantastic! She created a personalized tour for my family that was rich with history and architecture. She had great insights on local’s favorites for food and entertainment. I highly recommend her.

We were only in Vancouver for 2 days and were lucky enough to have Kim as our guide. Kim was born in Vancouver and knows the city very well. In fact, her father is an architect in Vancouver which gave Kim special insight and she was able to point out some very interesting buildings and secret spots that other guides may not know about. Kim was so fun to be with and it felt like we were out for the day with a friend. We told Kim what we wanted to see if the short 3 hours and she was able to fit everything in. We took the underground, a boat and walked around the city. Kim has great knowledge and was such a great tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour and Kim as your guide!!
