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!!
