We found Tour Guys on TripAdvisor, and it almost seemed too good to be true. How could a tour be free (except for a tip that you decide on)? We went on the Chinatown tour with Ali, and it was fantastic. He was funny and very knowledgable about local history. We learned a lot and found it a much better... More

We were very fortunate to be able to book a full-day private tour with Steve from Tour Guys for our recent visit to Vancouver. Our expectations for the tour were extremely high given the outstanding reviews we read on trip advisor. Despite this our tour with Steve exceeded our expectations in every way! Steve was extremely accommodating and patient in... More

You could spend days and days in Vancouver and we wish we had. Fortunately for us we began our Vancouver visit with the Tour Guys so we got the best of Vancouver in two days. Our guide loves Vancouver and now so do we. The Downtown and Waterfront tour highlighted the architecture, street art, history, life style and uniqueness of... More

Very good. Jessica did a great job, demonstrating really good knowledge and also enthusiasm for the job. Tour included a number of interesting facts and places - Fairmont Downtown, Marine Building and others. No fee, but a tip is expected and requested in a very nice way - and well deserved too, so don't be mean with it! The 'What... More

Jessica was fun and well informed. It was freezing and very windy but she kept us warm with her stories, insights and tips - as a good foodie and history buff. Recommended. More

I did this upon suggestion from a friend and can wholeheartedly recommend a tour with the Tour Guys. I love the business model of "pay what you think it's worth" in the form of a tip that is neither compulsory nor aggressively pursued. Tour guy "Jessica" led our tour of Chinatown. She is a self described "history nerd" who provided... More

I rang up on the off chance that I could get a tour the next afternoon as I the afternoon in Vancouver on route back from Whistler. Steve answered the call himself and rescheduled some other business to take myself and 19 yr old son on a walking tour of the city. It was pouring rain and rather a miserable... More
