We were recommended to go on a tour one Sunday in Vancouver by another guest in our B&B. It happened to be round Chinatown & it was excellent. We were out for 2 hrs in a group of about a dozen, & our guide Ali(stair) gave us masses of information & history of Vancouver as well as Chinatown. No charge,... More

I took the Downtown and the Olympic Village tour and both were wonderful. I HIGHLY recommend the Olympic Village tour. It's new to their offerings and shows you some really neat stuff. Don't forget to ask about Beer Island! Thanks Jess and Ali!

Matt our tour guy was wonderful. He shared his knowledge about the history of Granville. It was very interesting and informative. He shared information about the development of the island that we would not have known otherwise. This was a free service so if you take a tour please give him a tip. He deserves it.

Fantastic tour given by Vancouver local, Ali, who gave us the inside track on the architecture, history and art of the business district. Very interesting, informative and fun tour. Brilliantly researched and you get the stories not in any of the guide books. Free tour well worth a generous tip. A must do while in Vancouver. Loved it!

Ali and the Tour Guys are amazing. The first time we did a tour with them, they put together a unique experience four our group in less than an hour after our original guide from another company bailed on us five minutes before our tour. Not only did they put a tour together that was on the same subject (not... More

I took the downtown walking tour by myself while my husband had to work and I spent the rest of our vacation quoting Vancouver facts. Ali is an excellent tour guide bringing up interesting and humorous facts and stories. The tour was on Victoria day so some of the buildings were closed but I went back on my own to... More

Went on the Granville street /gastown as well as the waterfront tour with Lauren well worth the time spent. Learned so much about the history of these areas and Lauren was great. Very professional yet friendly. Knew her history and was very entertaining.

Ali provided an excellent tour of Chinatown. He was very personable, knowledgeable and fun. We heard the history, saw the sites, and received some restaurant recommendations. He was very sensitive to the troubles that the Vancouver Chinese population had in the past, as well as recommended discretion when going into a store which sold all types of Chinese foods (like...

Whilst we were over in Vancouver from the 10th to 17 May we took the opportunity to go on the three walking tours offered by Tour Guys. We were fortunate that our hotel receptionist told us about them and made our bookings.
