I've lived in Vancouver for all of my adult life and was raised in British Columbia's capital city of Victoria. Tour Guiding lights me up, and I'm a pro at walking tours - Over the years, I have been called "FIVE STAR TRACY" for a reason - I have hundreds of reviews from guests from all over the world that I have had the pleasure of hosting tours with. Exploring Vancouver's neighborhoods on foot is one of my passions, and I would love to customize a walking tour for you to experience. I will share with you the city's history, fun facts, and personal stories, allowing you to connect the city's past with how we experience Vancouver today. I have a broad background working with Private & Corporate groups, travel industry professionals, media, and influencers. My hospitality resume includes extensive experience as a Walking Food Tour Guide, Hotel Concierge, Step-on Tour Guide, and Itinerary Planner for Events and the Travel Trade Industry. In 1996, I first used the phrase "INFO-TAINMENT" to describe my tours, which means delivering solid, relevant content with levity and a sprinkling of wit. I love telling historical stories & sharing fun facts about Vancouver's architecture & infrastructure, restaurants, and key people who made an impact. Vancouver is a vibrant city, with so many fun things to do, so many of my tours start with one of my listings and become personally customized for you. I love to allow guests to "Experience Vancouver Like a Local". I see this city through independent coffee shops, diverse & delicious restaurants, and a thriving micro-beverage industry. I'm curious - especially about Vancouver, and I enjoy writing on my blog that you can read here: https://www.toursbytracy.com/blog You will leave my tour with a smile on your face and a greater understanding of this beautiful city! Looking forward to meeting you! Tracy Winner of a Tourism Vancouver Award - May 2000 "Creating Memorable Experiences" Certificate from Destination British Columbia Member of the CTGA-BC (Canadian Tour Guide Association - British Columbia) My listed tours are walking tours that are offered in the Downtown Vancouver area. I am happy to create a custom itinerary for you that can include Private Transportation. Reach out and I'll make it happen for you!
