Where the forest meets the city
Overview of your Vancouver tour
First an immersive trip into the heart of iconic Stanley Park. This massive green gem beckons one to escape the buzz of the city at it's doorstep, where even on the busiest summer weekend of the year you can find yourself with only the company of the birds and forest. We dive into "the Park" as it's known to locals with multiple stops to uncover it's hidden gems. This is in fact my backyard and I've walked every inch, know every trail and will share with you the stories it holds from it's indigenous history to the playground for Vancouverite's it is today. We then shift our attention to the dense metropolis next door with a drive in among all it's fascinating and greatly varied neighbourhoods

Kristyn S.United States
Our tour with Martin was incredible! He provided a comprehensive tour of the different neighborhoods of Vancouver, and we had several stops where we were able to get out, walk around, and get great photos. His vehicle was very comfortable, and it was a great way to see the city on a drizzly day. Above all, he was an excellent host for his beautiful city, and we all came away with a new appreciation for Vancouver.

Beautiful! My local guide, Martin customized the tour, on the spot, to cover everything I'd hoped to see in the allotted time. I never felt rushed. Martin was delightful. I cannot imagine a better experience!

We had a wonderful morning on our tour with Martin. He picked us up promptly and took us to many lovely spots. We chose to focus on Stanley Park for our tour. He took us to all the locations we wanted to see and included others we never would have known about. The scenery was absolutely beautiful. We were lucky to have excellent weather. Martin provided lots of suggestions for places for lunch and dinner. He truly knows the park like the back of his hand! The pace of the tour was excellent. We never felt rushed and he provided many photo opportunities. We felt very lucky to experience the beauty of Vancouver with Martin.
Nukhet S.United States
Martin is the best guide ever! He is fun, energetic, accommodating, and easy to communicate with. We had a half day tour with him on our second day in Vancouver. He was prompt in his communications, and he showed us Stanley Park and Vancouver neighborhoods from a local's perspective. He also gave us amazing recommendations for dining and things to do - we used his tips throughout our stay in the city. We highly, highly recommend Martin to everyone who wants to learn and see more about what Vancouver has to offer.
Leonard M.United States
Martin is very pleasant and the best guide you could ask for. Highly recommend taking the Stanley Park your. 2 hours in park and 1 hour in the city, a perfect balance. He knows everything about Vancouver!
