Hello, my name is Bobby. I love this beautiful city very much and am always very excited and eager to share the city with friends and visitors. Besides Vancouver, I also provide private guided tours to Victoria, Whistler, and the Canadian Rockies in Alberta. I enjoy travelling and have toured many countries. When visiting new places, I always look forward to experience the local lifestyle; savour the food; learn the culture, tradition, and history, to better understand the place I am visiting. I hit the highlights, the best places of interest the destination has to offer. Then I explore, meet the locals. Come, join me. Let's explore this beautiful city of Vancouver, the Pacific Northwest, and the Canadian Rockies. We'll have fun; explore and learn; and enjoy in style, comfort, and luxury. We'll visit the world renown ski resort of Whistler in the Squamish Lil'wat First Nations Territory, and Victoria, the Garden City on Vancouver Island. For the history buffs, wine lovers, and movie goers, we will visit the Fraser Valley and Fort Langley. To enjoy spectacular highlands, mountains, canyons, turquoise coloured lakes, and wildlife, we'll visit the Canadian Rockies, and play golf too! I acknowledge the ancestral, traditional, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the Xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), and Selí̓lw̓ itulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations where I live, and work. I am a licensed commercial vehicle operator (PTB #75029), holds a chauffeur permit, and am authorized to provide shore excursions to cruise passengers arriving at Vancouver. I have a Class 2 driver's licence, with air brake endorsement. I am a Professional Member of the Canadian Tour Guide Association of BC. Prior to starting out on my own, I was a Driver Tour Guide for a local sightseeing tour company. I enjoyed my job very much, sharing my passion and love for this beautiful city with my guests. My guests enjoyed my tours very much, and feedback was very positive. I was very encouraged, and decided to go to solo. ToursByLocals is my first choice.

5 Stars for Bobby. He knows Vancouver like the back of his hand. And his van is very comfortable.

Bobby was extremely accommodating and patient with our group (two have some mobility concerns). He fit the tour perfectly for us and very kind and understanding. We saw so much of Vancouver and had the perfect amount of time at each stop. Highly recommend this tour guide!

Bobby picked us up right at the cruise terminal — easy, stress-free, and exactly on time. The ride was comfortable and his knowledge of the area was outstanding. He went well beyond the typical tourist script, sharing real history and local insight that made the day genuinely memorable. What stood out most was how he cared for my mother, who has mobility issues. He was patient, attentive, and made her feel completely comfortable throughout — never rushed, never dismissive. That kind of thoughtfulness means everything when traveling with an older family member. His service is perfect for cruise passengers with a later flight. He maximizes your time in Vancouver without ever making you stress about logistics. We always felt taken care of, start to finish. If you're stepping off a ship with a few hours to spare, book Bobby. You won't regret it.

We had a full day in Vancouver before flying back to the East Coast. Had never booked a Tours by Locals excursion before and I am so glad we did. Bobby was the perfect tour guide...polite, patient, and oh so knowledgeable...we learned so much about Vancouver from him. He gave us highlights of the city and stopped at some amazing sights for us to do more in depth exploring and enjoy lunch at Granville Island. It was just perfect!

Bobby is great! We spent the day together and it was lovely. He did an excellent tour of the city.

Our tour guide, Bobby was amazing. He was very concerned about getting us information and enhancing our tour with facts that we were looking for. We wanted to see a Catholic Church and he added to our tour. At no time during this tour that any of us feel rushed that we had to leave and move onto the next destination Bobby took his time and made sure everyone was comfortable at all times I would highly recommend you choose Bobby as your guide, as you will have enhanced idea of how Vancouver life is.
