If you only have one day to visit Vancouver

Just wow! Javier was one of the best guide we have ever. His attention to detail was fantastic all the way to sending us a video of where to meet him. His knowledge and passion for Vancouver certainly made all of us want to return for a longer pre/post Alaska trip visit. He customized our trip, knew the great spots for photos and took them for us. I will be referring everyone I know going to Vancouver to request Javier.

When I first contacted Javier about his well-rated City Highlights tour, I said we had just one day in Vancouver, and he wisely recommended his full day tour. I loved the itinerary and appreciated that he could accommodate our group of 7, our luggage and would drop us off at our respective hotels at the end of the day. Knowing that our group included 3 teenagers, he suggested the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Throughout the planning process, Javier responded quickly and graciously answered all of my questions. I don’t think I have enough superlatives to describe the day itself. It’s not easy to engage adults ranging in age from 52 to 81 and 3 teenagers, but he did that. Using maps, photographs and stories, he educated us about Vancouver, a city he obviously loves. We circumnavigated the city, seeing important sites from the car and by walking. He paced our day perfectly and even found a lunch restaurant that satisfied everyone’s tastes and dietary limitations. He remained upbeat, informative and pleasant for the entire day. As promised, he dropped off each group at their respective hotels at the end of a long day. Look no further than Javier if you’re visiting Vancouver and want a top notch guide.

Javier was a great guide. He picked up 6 of us and all our luggage in his large van and by using the city map, he explained our route to different and very interesting places in Vancouver. It was really a good idea. We stopped for snacks and lunch, which was great for our 2 teenagers. Because our flight back to NY was very late he stayed with us through out and then took us to the airport. We would highly recommend him.

Javier was very flexible for our group and knowledgeable of anything Vancouver Highly recommend !

Excellent tour to see the highlights of the city in one day. Hiighly recommend Javier as the tour guide. His choice of places to see showed us the city and natural spaces and his knowlege of the area and its history gave us a unique insight into the city and its people. He gave us an honest and open view of all the major parts of the city. The suspension bridge and surrounding park is a must do for all ages. Javier was more than a good guide, he made the day fun and enjoyable. If you only have one day and want to see and learn as much as possible, then this is the tour and the guide. Thank you Javier for a great tour. We learned a lot about your city and have memories we will never forget.

Javier was an outstanding tour guide. He provided good communication leading up to the tour and let us know exactly where he would pick us up. He provided great history about the city as we drove and made it interactive and fun. We hit all the highlights of Vancouver, including Downtown, Granville Island, the Market, a water taxi, Olympic Village, Stanley Park, the salmon hatchery, and Capilano Suspension Bridge. This tour was definitely worth the money! Great tour if you are coming off a cruise and have a later flight.
