Join us for a fun Tour!
Our guides are multi-talented with backgrounds in acting,
writing, international touring and business. We take pride
in showing you our city and have a great time doing it.
Our
professional guides will keep you entertained on this
small,
fun and informative group tour. We offer a fully
escorted
and guided tour at most of our stops.
In and Around the City
We make five to six
great stops while on our
Vancouver
journey.
It is a visual treat at each turn so don’t
forget to
bring your camera
for those special moments.
We bring umbrellas just in case the famous west coast rain decides to pay us a visit...please rememer to dress for the weather though. While on the road we’ll give
you a
low down on Vancouver living,
with plenty of fun
commentary.
You’ll leave our city feeling like you know Vancouver.
Travel in style in our comfortable,
roomy, air conditioned mini coaches with never more than 16 guests per tour.
On our tour, we’ll introduce you to downtown Vancouver so you can explore it
later
on your own. You can’t simply know Vancouver by
seeing the
downtown though — we’ll show you the neighborhoods where
we live and play.
