It was love at first sight when I first visited Vancouver in 2000. Since then, this vibrant city has become my home—I’ve lived, studied, and worked here for over 25 years. As a tour guide since 2018, I’ve enjoyed sharing Vancouver’s natural beauty and cultural richness with visitors worldwide. When not guiding, I teach business and HR as a university professor at the University of Canada West, bringing local insights and global perspectives into the classroom. Join me on a tour that goes beyond the usual—whether you’re looking for scenic outdoor adventures, cultural gems, or off-the-beaten-path experiences, I’d love to show you the Vancouver I fell in love with. I’m also a travel writer and have published work. 📰 Read my travel features in Montecristo Magazine and The Toronto Star. https://montecristomagazine.com/travel/spending-the-day-of-the-dead-in-mexico-city https://www.thestar.com/life/travel/2015/04/23/mythical-world-of-gabriel-garcia-marquez-becomes-a-reality.html All my tours are available using various transportation options to suit your group’s needs: 🚇 Public transportation – explore like a local 🚴♀️ E-bikes – take advantage of the city’s extensive network of dedicated bike lanes 🚗 Electric sedan – a comfortable 4-door option for small groups 🚙 Cadillac SUV – accommodates up to 5 passengers in style 🚐 Mercedes Van – ideal for groups of up to 12 passengers 🚌 Tour bus options – available for larger groups of 19, 27, or 55 passengers Let me know your preference, and I’ll tailor the experience accordingly!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Guillermo in Vancouver. From the moment we met, he was warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Rather than just showing us the highlights, he gave us a true insider’s perspective, sharing the neighborhoods, views, and hidden gems that make Vancouver such a wonderful city to live in and explore. We left not only with amazing memories but also with a deeper appreciation for the city and its lifestyle. Highly recommend!
Excelente guía, con mucho conocimiento de la ciudad. Amable, nos las pasamos muy bien: gracias Guillermo
This is my frist time using Tours by Locals and it won't be my last! I had a group of 10 arriving off an Alaska Cruise with a day stopover in Vancouver. Guillermo picked us up at the Vancouver port and gave us a wounderful tour of Vancouver. This guy was amazing. He gave us information about Vancouver and surrounding areas but did not overload us with too much information. To end the trip he found a great restaurant. I would highly recommend Tours by Locals and if you are going to Vancouve please ask for Guillermo. He is the best!
Well paced overview of Vancouver over two half-day tours. We enjoyed the personalized service of a private car and knowledge of the tour guide about the history and architecture of the city. Would definitely sign up again.
Guillermo transformed our long layover into an exciting exploration of Vancouver's highlights. His personalized tour was perfectly paced, combining iconic sights like Stanley Park with hidden gems. He expertly catered to our interests, provided great food tips, and ensured a stress-free return to the airport. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to make the most of their layover!
Guillermo was amazing. Was very patient and engaged with our autistic son. Very informative and delightful……would highly recommend.
