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.

This tour was exactly what we were looking for before going to the airport. Martin is very knowledgeable of the area and we had some great stops to and from Whistler. He was on time picking us up with great directions to the pick up spot. He knew the best time to leave Whistler to get back to the airport. I would recommend this tour and Martin as a guide.

Martin H was so kind and thoughtful! We were a group of 5 wacky and diverse friends and Martin took the time to chat with all of us. Although we didn’t get to go on a gondola at Whistler due to cloudy conditions and our schedule (we had to catch a flight later) we had a blast! You must see Shannon Falls; it was so beautiful! Thank you, Martin for a wonderful tour. —Lisa The following are reviews from friends in the group: Martin made great suggestions for photo spots, shared the history of the area we visited, and even took photos of us. He was very flexible and accommodating and made the experience even more enjoyable and memorable for our group. —Sophia and Iris My friends and I took a great tour of Vancouver and Whistler with Martin. He was very friendly, informative, and flexible. I highly recommend him as a travel guide in Vancouver. —Wendy

Thoroughly enjoyed our tour. We were able to see such beautiful scenery and waterfalls. Martin went out of his way to ensure our tour was enjoyable and customized to anything we wanted to see or do. Would highly recommend him for tour fun.

Martin was professional, warm, and polite. He knew the ins and outs of the area, and delivered a wonderful tour. My group was not a shy one, and talked quite a bit. Martin allowed us to have our conversations, and expertly timed his area observations and noteworthy landmarks. Communication was clear and easy, and he pivoted a couple of times on the tour to ensure we had an exceptional experience - which we did. Kudos to Martin for a great day - highly recommend!

Martin was a wonderful guide for us. He is very personable and friendly, and his car is very comfortable, even for longer trips (in our case, about three hours). We traveled from Vancouver to Whistler, and along the way he customized our tour to show us as many of the Canadian sights along the way as possible, making stops at waterfalls and scenic viewpoints. We loved our tour and would happily recommend Martin for future tours.

I booked this trip for my family of seven, ages 14 to 84. I needed something to do when we arrived back from a cruise until our midnight flight out. This was a stress free way to enjoy the day. Martin met us at the hotel attached to the cruise terminal where we were able to check our large bags for the day. Spent the day in Whistler & 2 stops at waterfalls. He was very informative about hiking trails for the younger ones, shopping for the older. Took us back to pick up our bags and to the airport.
