I have traveled the world for ten years and have never seen a city as beautiful as Vancouver. From the world's greatest park to the most livable neighbourhoods in the most beautiful city in North America; this city is a walker's dream. Mild climate, spectacular vistas, great shopping, historical buildings… it's got everything a visitor wants! I have designed and conducted tours for people from many different walks of life: from senior citizens to parliamentarians; from architects to historians; from airport layovers to cruise ship day trippers… I have helped them all. I want to show you the best of Vancouver with your interests and needs in mind. My goal is to make this the best tour you have ever had. First Aid /CPR Certified Member of Heritage Vancouver I conduct walking tours that may also use buses, trains, and water taxis. If you can't walk at a leisurely pace for 30 minutes at a time then I would not recommend these tours. The water taxis are not easily boarded by strollers and wheelchairs.

Overview of your Vancouver tour

For friends and family. . . This is the most relaxing and stress-free walking tour you can get anywhere. Why. . because we walk around downtown Vancouver: then hop on a train for 5 minutes, then walk around historical Yaletown. We then stroll 2 blocks to the beautiful sheltered False Creek waterway and board a False Creek Ferry to Granville Island. Shops, artisans, marketplaces are what tourists usually see but we will also explore the areas where the locals shop and play. Then it is back to wherever you want to in downtown Vancouver. We recommend a start time of 9 am P. S. T. but will accept tours up to 11 am.
