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!

Three Hours of Step-On guiding for a coach bus Vancouver City Tour
Overview of your Vancouver tour
On this tour, we will spend three hours exploring the gems of Vancouver. Starting at your Hotel or Canada Place, we will make our way through Coal Harbour's modern high rises on the water's edge of the Vancouver Harbour on the way to Stanley Park. We will stop to visit the Totem Poles and I'll share some First Nation's history and tell you why many Canadians are now calling these "Story Poles". We will make our way around Stanley Park, and through the West End to English Bay where we will see the A-Maze-ing Laughter statues. We will then make our way to Yaletown to see the transformation of an original industrial rail neighborhood into a very scenic and modern community. We will then make our way to our final stop - Granville Island for a stop at the renowned Granville Island Public Market before returning to your hotel.
