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.

We recently shared the day with Martin for our 1/2 day tour of Vancouver before departing on a cruise. He picked us up at our hotel and graciously packed all our luggage into the van agreeing to drop us off at the cruise terminal at the end of our visit together. Our tour was all we expected and more. Martin was personable and very knowledgeable about this city he loves and his true enthusiasm shined through. His timing and pacing were great as we had enough time to see what we wanted with some extras along the way. We were able to see Vancouver as locals might see her. We would not hesitate to book with Martin again on our next visit to see a bit more of this wonderful city. Thank you Martin!

Martin provided our 6-person group with an entertaining and informative tour of multiple Vancouver neighborhoods, Stanley Park, Elizabeth Park and Granview Island. We appreciated Martin's casual yet knowledgeable approach to our tour. We ended at the Public Market on Granview Island, which was interesting, and enjoyed a water-front happy hour and dinner. Martin went out of his way to return to our hotel a rain jacket that was inadvertently left in his vehicle. We highly recommend Martin for your visit to Vancouver.

Martin is a lifelong resident of Vancouver and his pride in his city is wonderful. We visited Stanley Park which is/was his “backyard” growing up. And several other notable neighborhoods and some of the downtown area. It was a perfect tour for us as first time visitors. I highly recommend Martin as your guide when visiting Vancouver. His car is very clean and comfortable. You can personalize your tour if needed.
