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!

Your Vancouver tour itinerary

We will meet at Waterfront Station, and begin our tour in Gastown, the birthplace of Vancouver, where you'll marvel at the iconic Steam Clock and learn why it's a must-visit photo spot. Next, we go the Vancouver Lookout - two city blocks away and ascend 34 stories in a 45-second glass elevator ride to soak in breathtaking 360-degree views of the city, harbor, and majestic mountains. We'll then return to Waterfront Station and board a 15-minute passenger ferry across Burrard Inlet to Lonsdale Quay. Here, we can take in picturesque views of Stanley Park, the city skyline, and the bustling Port of Vancouver while enjoying photo opportunities, snacks, and a leisurely break before returning Downtown via the Seabus. Our exploration continues with a visit to Canada Place, offering optional experiences like Flyover and the Port of Vancouver exhibit, just a short 15-minute journey from Waterfront Station. Possible add-on is a visit to Flyover Canada.
