Excellent story tellers, our guides receive accolades from guests all around the world.

Testimonials:

"The tour guide was wonderful. She was knowledgeable, friendly and had a love of the city. Thanks for a great experience!" Arthur Sneider, Brookline, Massachusetts

 "Your tour guide was a gentleman and a true professional - and what a storyteller! We were mesmerized." Beverley Wenrich, Redding, Pennsylvania

"I enjoyed your guide's wit and humour. He was a wonderful, gracious host. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of BC with me - you made my trip so meaningful." Barbara Bailey, The Dalles, Oregon.

Superhosts We are a Recognized SuperHost Business and proud of this designation that highlights our dedication to customer service.

Customized Tours All of our tours can be totally customized to fit the needs, the interests and the time frame for any group. We enjoy putting together special walking tours for groups as we enjoy showing our beautiful city and heritage. Our mandate is walking tours; however, several of the guides do"step-on" work and so that is always a possibility if you are looking at bus tours. This price would be negotiated depending on length of tour, but generally is approximately $50.00/hour for the guide and then whatever amount the bus company charges for the bus and driver.
