Great fun and yum

Published on Jan, 2025

Ashlyn was a great guide. Really enjoyed this yummy tour and her narrative information. I’m old and this was not to strenuous walking. Would highly recommend.

The best time!

Glenn was a polished professional storyteller and we had an exceptional time learning about the fascinating history of Vancouver! We will return for another tour for sure!!

Entertaining and Insightful

Published on Oct, 2024

Loved our tour of downtown Vancouver with our guide Rob, who was wonderfully entertaining. My husband and I were visiting from Chicago for the first time and learned many things about the city that we wouldn't have found on our own. We especially enjoyed the private tour of the beautiful deco Marine Building that we wouldn't have been able to see inside as it was a Sunday. The pastries and chocolates were a nice addition and we went back to the stores later in our trip to buy more. Thanks Rob for an exemplary experience!

Vancouver’s hidden gems

Glenn was an absolute professional from woe to go. His entertaining stories and scandalous tales were captivating and the art deco architecture was our favourite.

Awesome

Published on Sep, 2024

Very interesting to learn some history in your own town. Our story teller/ guide was Glenn and his is definitely a Five Star presenter.
