I've lived in Vancouver for all of my adult life and was raised in British Columbia's capital city of Victoria. Tour Guiding lights me up, and I'm a pro at walking tours - Over the years, I have been called "FIVE STAR TRACY" for a reason - I have hundreds of reviews from guests from all over the world that I have had the pleasure of hosting tours with. Exploring Vancouver's neighborhoods on foot is one of my passions, and I would love to customize a walking tour for you to experience. I will share with you the city's history, fun facts, and personal stories, allowing you to connect the city's past with how we experience Vancouver today. I have a broad background working with Private & Corporate groups, travel industry professionals, media, and influencers. My hospitality resume includes extensive experience as a Walking Food Tour Guide, Hotel Concierge, Step-on Tour Guide, and Itinerary Planner for Events and the Travel Trade Industry. In 1996, I first used the phrase "INFO-TAINMENT" to describe my tours, which means delivering solid, relevant content with levity and a sprinkling of wit. I love telling historical stories & sharing fun facts about Vancouver's architecture & infrastructure, restaurants, and key people who made an impact. Vancouver is a vibrant city, with so many fun things to do, so many of my tours start with one of my listings and become personally customized for you. I love to allow guests to "Experience Vancouver Like a Local". I see this city through independent coffee shops, diverse & delicious restaurants, and a thriving micro-beverage industry. I'm curious - especially about Vancouver, and I enjoy writing on my blog that you can read here: https://www.toursbytracy.com/blog You will leave my tour with a smile on your face and a greater understanding of this beautiful city! Looking forward to meeting you! Tracy Winner of a Tourism Vancouver Award - May 2000 "Creating Memorable Experiences" Certificate from Destination British Columbia Member of the CTGA-BC (Canadian Tour Guide Association - British Columbia) My listed tours are walking tours that are offered in the Downtown Vancouver area. I am happy to create a custom itinerary for you that can include Private Transportation. Reach out and I'll make it happen for you!

Explore 3 Different areas Accessible by Water Taxi in Vancouver's False Creek
Overview of your Vancouver tour
On this 3. 5-hour ALL AGES tour, we will meet at one of the 10 Docks on False Creek and use a day pass to explore the communities surrounding it, including Olympic Village, Yaletown, Granville Island, Fairview + Kitsilano. Each has its own history and fun things to explore. I customize this tour for your interests and recommend taking this tour at the beginning of your time in Vancouver. I suggest we pick three areas to explore, and happy to customize to your interests! ASK ME ABOUT A SCAVENGER HUNT OPTION FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES ;) Granville Island has 300 makers working out of independent studios, and producing incredible works from many mediums. I recommend finishing the tour here so that you can spend time on your own here! This tour happens rain or shine, in fact, when we are experiencing "liquid sunshine" the water taxis are a great way to stay protected from the rain :)
