Shannon was an amazingly knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. We were trying to figure out what to do on a rainy day in Vancouver and came across this gem. We could not have been happier with Shannon. She picked us up at the exact time, was open to our agenda and preferences, and knew so much about the many neighbourhoods and the diversity of the City. The parks were pretty even in the rain and Shannon went out of her way to ensure we had the best day possible. As she said, be grateful for every experience. We all felt we really got to know the city thanks because she has lived in many neighbourhoods and could show us the many areas and cultures.
