5.00The guide/owner is single person and lives in BC. Great tour vibe and he knows the city. Seems to care about what he does - not just a job to him.

5.00ANDY IS AN OUTSTANDING TOUR GUIDE! The entire two hours was so well put together. The food was delicious, Andy was personable and entertaining, and we saw so much of the city . Even learned quite a bit about the interesting history of many of the areas we visited. Without Andy we would never have known just how many culinary treasures abound in this amazing city:) HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

We highly recommend this tour to first time or frequent visitors.
