Paul exceeded our expectations; time did not seem to be a factor; our 4-hour tour ran into 5 hours. Our lunch was leisurely and pleasant. Paul picked the highlights of Vancouver, and it is amazing to see the variety the city has to offer. Paul was the perfect host/guide providing us with historical background and social climate of Vancouver. A wonderful day!

The tour was absolutely awesome. We loved Paul and his courteous nature. Paul stayed with us the whole time and his membership got us fabulous discounts at the attractions. He was very informative, enthusiastic and polite.

Paul was amazing. He covered everything we asked him to in advance of our tour and was extremely accomodating and knowledgeable of every part of the city. We spent a fabulous day touring Vancouver after disembarking from our cruise and catching our evening flight back home. I would definitely recommend using this tour site. Paul...thanks for a great time!

Paul was accommodating and able to take us to the sights we wanted to see. The highlight of the trip was Granville Island and the Farmers market. We were also able to tour Stanley Park (totem poles & look out point) and Gas Town (observatory & steam clock). In addition, we drove by Yale Town, Olympic Village and Gas Town.

Paul worked very hard to show us the town without walking much (mobility issues rule). The vehicle was new, he was a safe and careful driver and very knowledgeable.

Paul was a quiet friendly person who took us to Whistler. Probably the biggest disappointment was the fact the lifts werent working at this time of the year during the week and we would have thought Paul would have known this or checked it out prior. Would have liked to do the wire trip but time would not allow. Great seeing brown bears in the wild

TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Thanks for the concrete feedback. You're absolutely right that I should have checked this out - at some point during the shoulder season they close the Peak to Peak gondola for servicing. It is necessary to follow the situation closely as it doesn't follow a set schedule. I enjoyed speaking about construction techniques with Mr. Wakelin and discussing our problems with poor rainscreens.

Unfortunately occured a misunderstanding (regarding meeting time)
Airport Transfer, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Sorry about the misunderstanding - When we spoke, you did say to meet you at 3 pm, but somehow I thought you meant the plane arrived at 3 pm, so when I arrived at 3:30, I was already 1/2 hour late. Normally I check the actual airplane arrival time, but neglected to do so in this case.

Paul was a pleasure to work with; he designed a tour specific to our requests/needs and did an excellent job providing us with detailed information about what we were seeing. We enjoyed our personalized tour and got more than our money's worth. We will not hesitate to utilize Paul's services again.

It was an excellent way to spend a few hours before the cruise. I particularly liked the fact that we were met at the airport. All other tour operators would only pick us up at a hotel. Variable flight arrival times and Customs clearance make joining a short tour difficult unless this extra service is provided ... well done and thankyou again. It was a great introduction to Vancouver and we would recommend it to all. Martin & Briar Newland
