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.

Overview of your Vancouver tour

Visit the Garden City and the Butchart Gardens in private luxury, and at a leisurely pace. Enjoy a 90 minute ferry ride through the spectacular Gulf Islands, be amazed by the beauty of Butchart Gardens, explore, discover, and learn Victoria's history, and its places of interest. Victoria was chosen to be the province's capital when the colony of British Columbia was established in 1858. When gold was discovered in the Fraser Valley, it became the port of entry for gold prospectors from California and the Far East. Its Chinatown was the earliest to be established in Canada. Service is door to door, with hotel pick ups and drop offs.

Your Vancouver tour itinerary

Pick up from your hotel will start about 1. 5 hours before the scheduled ferry ride to Victoria. On the ferry, be amazed by the sheer beauty of the Gulf Islands, and be on the look out for whales, dolphins, and sea lions, and having the wind in your face on the ferry deck. Upon reaching Vancouver Island, first stop, Butchart Gardens. Be wowed by this oasis of lush green and colourful blooms, which is fifty-five acres of flowers, trees, pathways and creeks. Featuring a sunken garden, a world famous rose garden and a wonderful restaurant serving High Tea daily. Then, to Victoria via the scenic ocean route to the city. Drive by Oak Bay, Beacon Hill Park, and finally Downtown Victoria, explore BC Parliament Building, Empress Hotel, Chinatown, Bastion Square, and Craigdarroch Castle. Late in the evening, we'll head back to the ferry to return to Vancouver.
