Vancouver, Canada

Navigate Vancouver: Like a Local

with Ying Ying L.

1 review

Everyone who comes around, I like to tell them where to go and local places to see.

Start off your stay in Vancouver with a personalized guide to Vancouver!

We start off with a coffee/tea + a baked good (included!) and a chat about Vancouver and its attractions as well as the more off-beat places that only locals know about. I will go over the Welcome Manual and a map with you, giving you plenty of tips and recommendations plus answer any questions you may have.

Then we will go for a drive through Vancouver, where I'll give you an overview of the places we discussed and a sense of how to get around. This part of the tour can be flexible and catered to your interests!

We can make stops along the way if you like, depending on how much time you want to spend. ($10/additional hour)

For individual travelers, we will be in a Mazda Miata convertible and for groups of 2-4, we will be in a Toyota Yaris.

An excellent introduction to Vancouver!

My style statement is Sophisticated Adventure, and that is how I want to live my life. There are many things I love but the #1 thing I would have to say is I love is travel. If I win the lottery tomorrow, the first thing I would do after paying off my bills is to take off on a plane! I love Vancouver and I do believe it is one of the best places in the world! Having been a concierge for a private club for over 3 years, I know Vancouver better than most people and I love to show it off to visitors!

This was a great introduction to Vancouver for me - Ying Ying knows a lot about her city, its history, culture and even the practical things like what bus I should catch to get back to places, where to eat, what times to go to different places I wanted to see more of. I think I would have missed a lot of really seeing Vancouver if I hadn't had the background of this mini tour. I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver
