Best tour of Vancouver!

John_C, Sep 2022

What an awesome tour. While most guides focus on man’s creations, Naseef emphasized the things that make Vancouver unique - in particular it’s beautiful natural setting. By the end of our day, I came away with a true appreciation for Vancouver, it’s people, and it’s beautiful location. If you can take only one tour of Vancouver, this should be the one!

Wonderful experience

Our tour guide Nafees was wonderful, so friendly and informative. We went all over the place and he showed us so much of Vancouver. One part of the tour was quite strenuous, but he walked in the back and allowed us to pick our pace. Never once rushing us, always making sure we took rests and had plenty to drink. I would highly recommend this tour, as we both really enjoyed Nafees and seeing all the beauty that Vancouver had to offer.

Easy way to have a quick tour of Vancouver's "must see"

Emmanuel_B, May 2022

We had a lovely time with our guide. We saw many of the most classic sights of Vancouver without having to rent a car and figure out the itinerary, but mostly, we were guided to the best spots. We also learnt some stuff regarding photography, despite the fact that we're not complete beginners. This was a great bonus. Some in our group were not fast walker, but the guide made sure we didn't miss anything despite this issue. Overall, a very positive experience.

Awesome

Got to see lots, and learned some photo tips. Enjoyed the day, and recinmind this for anyone, but good for those who like to take photos. Really good tips learned. Thank you

Beautiful Vancouver

Nice place. Friendly and professional guide. He took us to all the “must see” Vancouver attractions.

Excellent experience to learn photo perspectives

Nafees provided a very interesting combination of easy hiking, exploration and photography. I learnt simple but really useful tips to use my iPhone to take shots of moving water and still objects, as well as to enhance the colour layers of beautiful landscape. Tour is highly recommended!
