Much more than a walk - This walking tour was amazing! ! Andrew’s knowledge of the places, buildings, people etc is second to none. He has certainly done his homework. We visited places you would expect to go but also some which were off the regular track, overall providing much insight into this wonderful city. The most memorable feature though is Andrew’s ability to captivate an audience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn a lot about Vancouver in a short amount of time, in a very entertaining way.

A great walk around Vancouver - Tour started right on time exactly where we were told to meet tour guide. Andrew was very energetic and entertaining. He spoke clearly and was very Informative. He gave us a lot of information regarding the history of Vancouver and took us to many of the places that we had read about in anticipation of our visit. Other than the rain, we enjoyed the tour very much.
