I have traveled the world for ten years and have never seen a city as beautiful as Vancouver. From the world's greatest park to the most livable neighbourhoods in the most beautiful city in North America; this city is a walker's dream. Mild climate, spectacular vistas, great shopping, historical buildings… it's got everything a visitor wants! I have designed and conducted tours for people from many different walks of life: from senior citizens to parliamentarians; from architects to historians; from airport layovers to cruise ship day trippers… I have helped them all. I want to show you the best of Vancouver with your interests and needs in mind. My goal is to make this the best tour you have ever had. First Aid /CPR Certified Member of Heritage Vancouver I conduct walking tours that may also use buses, trains, and water taxis. If you can't walk at a leisurely pace for 30 minutes at a time then I would not recommend these tours. The water taxis are not easily boarded by strollers and wheelchairs.

Transport details
Type: Walking

All my tours are in essence walking tours but are enhanced with trains, buses and water taxis. This encourages the attention to detail that walking tours excel at but without the limitation of distance.

What's included
Other: This is essentially a walking tour. The price includes all forms of transportation for two people that will help make this a great tour. This may include trains, buses, and water taxies. In other words if we are moving by a form of transportation that costs money then I will cover it. For every person over two people please bring $15 to cover additional transportation costs.
