Our tour was private because we were the only couple booked in early Feb. Glenn was an awesome guide. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in the history of this beautiful city.

We really enjoyed walking around Vancouver, learning more about our city. From the history of some of the most iconic buildings, the scandalous past, and some of the famous stars that came to our town, it was really interesting and very nice! Our guide Rachel did a really good job, she was fun and entertaining and interesting, a great little actress.

Our walking tour with Rachel was filled with with fun people, Rachel’s good sense of humor and loads of fun facts, stories and history. Rachel did a nice job keeping the stories lively with all sorts of vintage photos as props along the way. This 90-minute tour is something you really should do when visiting this fine city.
