5.00Excellent small group tour of Vancouver. Michael was knowledge and gave plenty of backstory and history throughout the tour. We stopped at an excellent restaurant for lunch and at an ice cream parlor with 238 flavors for dessert, and many of these were dairy free. What a bonus!

5.00When you have a tour guide who loves to share his passion for the location you hit the jackpot. That’s Mike. Not only did he make this tour everything that was expected, he went above and beyond to show us even more. He created a very friendly, informative, entertaining and enjoyable experience in a very comfortable, clean Mercedes van. We highly recommend him and this tour if you want a wonderful tour of Vancouver.

5.00Michael was excellent as our guide. He was so knowledgeable and friendly. He did not let anything upset him even when a parking lot attendant was really nasty and rude to him when he was parking the van. He is such a professional, always putting his guests first.
