See Vancouver’s top sights in a private vehicle, from Gastown and Stanley Park to Granville Island, with flexible stops and a local guide.
“We had only one day to experience Vancouver and this tour was wonderful. We were at the end of an Alaska cruise with a very late flight home, so what does one do with a full day in Vancouver? We would recommend having Stefan show you around town. He picked my husband and me up from the cruise terminal, put our stuff in the trunk of the car and then drove us all around town. We stopped at the parks, photo opportunities galore and enjoyed lunch at the market. Then after a full day he dropped us off at the airport. Wonderful!!!!”
Store up to two bags near Vancouver’s cruise terminal for a day of sightseeing, with useful staff support but unclear directions and strict pickup times.
“I struggled to find this storage after purchasing tickets in advance. I did eventually find staff and found out that you give your luggage to them and they take it approx 10 minutes away to a storage office, when you want your luggage back you ask them to fetch it for you. I did not feel comfortable using the service as I wanted to go sightseeing before my cruise and was concerned I wouldn’t be able to find a staff member and retrieve my luggage in time. I ended up paying a hotel next to the terminal to store our luggage. think it should be made clear that the storage…”

“What and amazing 4-day trip! Beautiful scenery, comfortable campsites, great food, and wildlife galore - Orcas, humpbacks, bear, deer, eagles, kingfishers, sea lions, porpoises, and more. Our guides were excellent and our traveling companions all fun and excited about the experience (with ages ranging from early 30s to early 70s!). The guides tailored each day to our capabilities and the wildlife opportunities. We had one very rainy day, but it was all part of the adventure... Highly, highly recommended.”

See Vancouver your way on a private full-day tour with a local, from Gastown and Chinatown to Granville Island and beyond.
“We had an absolutely fantastic time today with Thinh (Tim)! We started with breakfast at a local cafe; took in the sights & shopping of Granville Island; visited Science World; had lunch at DTF; had drinks at Tap & Barrel; visited the Lookout; and did a bunch of walking, ferry-ing, and train-ing in between. That was just our day's itinerary, since it is fully customizable per your desired stops. Tim was very helpful and accommodating, and the day was paced nicely. We are first time visitors, so it was great to get acquainted with multiple parts of the city and learn about more local places to visit, eat, and shop.…”
