Well worth the time - Fran was a knowledgeable and personable guide to give us the lay of the land and local history and culture. She readily answered attendees' personal questions and offered many suggestions on places to see, eat and enjoy. My friendly tour group of about 15 included people from Belgium, Australia, Germany, Canada and U.S.

Great tour! - I just moved to Vancouver and this was a great tour to learn about the area. Ondrej was an excellent guide who provided us with lots of good information, took us to places I wouldn't have gone myself, and gave us many suggestions on other things to do, places to eat, etc. Highly recommend this tour!

Great introduction to Vancouver on foot - My guide was Fran and she was very knowledgeable about the city and provided a follow up email with lots of suggestions for places to eat and other activities to do. She had clearly done lots of research and she was easy to understand and hear. The tour covered the major areas of the city as well as some of the not so well known aspects. The tour helped me navigate my way around the city from then on.
