I first came to Vancouver from Poland during Expo 86 — a moment that began my lifelong connection with this city and the landscapes of British Columbia. For over 30 years, I have explored and studied Metro Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, and BC’s natural and cultural highlights. Since 2010, I have worked as a licensed private tour guide, creating personalized tours for visitors from around the world. Today, I offer private ToursByLocals experiences across Vancouver and British Columbia, focusing on comfort, flexibility, and authentic local insight. My tours include: • Vancouver City Highlights • Whistler & Sea-to-Sky Day Trips • Nature & Alpine Experiences • Wine & Culinary Tours • Fully custom itineraries Vancouver is unique — where ocean, mountains, and city life come together in one place. My goal is to help you experience it in a relaxed and meaningful way, tailored to your interests and pace. When I’m not guiding, I’m exploring new routes and refining experiences to keep every tour fresh and engaging.

Dale G.United States
A perfect tour of Vancouver Island and Victoria, including Butchart Gardens. Voytek is a great tour guide, and ambassador for Vancouver and British Columbia. He is a wealth of information and local knowledge, and is highly professional. His vehicle is very comfortable and spacious, and he was always very punctual. Voytek strikes an excellent balance between providing guidance and allotting ample time for personal exploration during the tours. We did two full-day tours with Voytek over our two days in Vancouver, and we are very happy that we did. We highly recommend Voytek to anyone looking for tours in and around Vancouver.

Another excellent tour with Voytek - he is very knowledgeable about the area and shares many stories along the way. The ferry ride was delightful and such beautiful scenery - a pleasurable trip. Voytek is always willing to be flexible with the itinerary whether to add time in an area and adjust the schedule to your individual needs. I would highly recommend this tour - it is a long day but well worth it - Butchart Gardens is a must see and Victoria is a charming city. Madeline Singer
