My story doing tours in Vancouver began around 12 years ago when I was working for a Chinese company and my mom called me asking to help her friend, Gloria, who was coming to Vancouver with a group of 35 people from South America. They were taking a cruise to Alaska and had only the morning to visit Vancouver. I didn't know Gloria, but I wanted to help, so I prepared a presentation highlighting the key places her and her group should visit. I gave her an itinerary, a map and spoke with her a couple times believing that was the most I could do to help her. However, to my great surprise, Gloria called me a third time asking me to be their tour guide. She noticed my passion, the knowledge I had of the city and my goodwill. That was my first tour, about 12 years ago. Since then, I've done over 1000 tours, and I've been able to refine my itinerary to showcase the best of this beautiful city. Along the way I have learned much more about the city's rich history, hidden gems, best angles for photos, and fascinating stories that make this city so wonderful. Despite my many tours done, my enthusiasm to share the beauty of the city has never wavered. It's truly a joy to see the awe and appreciation people's faces as I guide them through breathtaking sights. I never leave my house the day of the tour thinking I am going to work, I leave excited to meet new people and show them this breathtaking city. I view my clients as friends or family members and offer them as much hospitality as I possibly can. While the itineraries of my tours offer a helpful guide my goal is to create an unforgettable moment by savoring the little things as well such as enjoying a hot coffee in a cold day or perhaps an ice cream in a warm summer day. I own two vehicles, a minivan for 6 passengers and bigger van for 14 passengers plus the driver, as part of the British Columbia passenger rules, both vehicles passed a commercial inspection every 6 months, and are insured with a commercial insurance taking into account their passenger capacity. - Master's in business (MBA) in the University of British Columbia - Class 4 unrestricted driver license permit, which means I am authorized to drive a vehicle with a maximum capacity of 25 passengers. such as school buses, ambulances or limousines. - Passenger transportation authorization number 75302, honestly a very hard authorization to get but it is the only way to do tours while driving a vehicle with passengers.

Overview of your Vancouver tour

Vancouver is considered one of the best cities to live in the world, and it is also the most expensive city in Canada, more than Toronto or Calgary where salaries are higher. I present this tour in a way that explores why this city is considered one of the best places to live, by showing the beautiful landscape the surrounded the city, the Capilano river, the Salmon Hatchery, the Capilano reservoir, the Cleveland Dam, the grizzly bears at Grouse Mountain, the beautiful mountains, and much more. At all times I accompany my clients, when crossing the suspension bridge or watching the Lumberjack show while helping them take their best pictures. As always, we will go at a pace that adapts to your taste, there is no additional cost if the tour is longer than planned.
