Welcome to Vancity! My passion for Vancouver has brought me here to share with you my perspective of this amazing place. As a native to the city, I've had the opportunity to watch it grow over the years to the world class location it is today. This ultimately gives me a keen insight into understanding what it means to be a Vancouverite both past and present as well as into the future. My previous experience in hospitality and tourism includes that of a Chef, Doorman and Concierge at several fine restaurants and hotels. Always in tune with the ever evolving dining scene that Vancouver has to offer. I'm friendly, easy going and am happy to adapt your tour to your pace. Come, explore with me and experience Vancouver through the eyes of a true local! For a customized tour inquiry or any questions you may have, please contact me directly.

Overview of your Vancouver tour

A extended version of my most popular Half Day Classic Vancouver Highlights tour. A more leisurely pace allows extra time to explore the Granville Island Public Market, enjoy lunch at one of the many restaurants with views of the marina and surrounding inlet. We also do a wider loop to take in the stunning west side of Vancouver and the more eclectic neighbourhoods of Main Street and Commercial Drive further east. This tour is also ideal for cruise terminal pick up and same day airport drop off.

Martin picked us up at the cruise terminal and then took us on an informative tour thru Vancouver. We went to the Capilano Suspension Bridge where he pointed out key points to us and took photos for us. He continued with a tour of Stanley Park, lunch and walk thru Granville Market, Elizabeth’s Garden, the beach and various neighborhoods. Martin was extremely personable and the 5 of us that were on the tour felt it was one of the highlights of our trip. We ended our time with Martin with him dropping us off at the airport. We very highly recommend Martin if you’re planning a tour of Vancouver.

Martin customized a tour for our group of 4. He picked us across the street from the cruise dock and drove us around many locations in Vancouver and finished up dropping us off at our hotel by the airport. I had requested Stanley park / totems / botanical gardens and the steam clock downtown. We saw many beautiful areas of Vancouver. My favorite was Queen Elizabeth park. It had stunning floral displays. Martin was very friendly and answered all of our questions. You could tell that he loves his hometown.

Martin is great with communication especially when we were transferring from the cruise ship to the tour pick up. The weather started out rainy and he adapted the tour to fit the circumstances. It is very easy to make conversation with Martin. He is very easy going but also professional. We used Martin twice for tours to begin and end our trip.

It was easy to find Martin after disembarking our cruise ship. The vehicle had lots of luggage space for our bags and four of us. This was a 6 hours program before dropping us off at the airport for our evening departure. He showed us what was on our wish list and included so many places of Vancouver. It's a city of many layers and each neighborhood has it's own uniqueness. Hope to see you again Martin
