This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Vancouver ChinaTown, 106 Keefer St, Vancouver, British Columbia V6A 1X4 Canada
Chinatown is known for its buzzing food scene, which includes traditional Asian bakeries, dim sum restaurants and hip cocktail bars.

Stop At: Gastown, Waterfront between Granville and Main Sts. North of Hastings St., Vancouver, British Columbia V6B 2K7 Canada
Lively Gastown is known for its whistling Steam Clock and mix of souvenir shops, indie art galleries and decor stores in Victorian buildings. A trendy food and drink scene includes chic cocktail lounges and restaurants serving everything from gourmet sandwiches to local seafood. Hip eateries also dot the neighboring Downtown Eastside area, while the up-and-coming Railtown district is home to edgy fashion studios.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Stanley Park, Stanley Park, Vancouver, British Columbia
Stanley Park is a 405-hectare public park that borders the downtown of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada and is almost entirely surrounded by waters of Vancouver Harbour and English Bay. The park has a long history and was one of the first areas to be explored in the city.
Duration: 40 minutes
Pass By: English Bay, 1795 Beach Ave, Vancouver, British Columbia V6G 1Y9 Canada
English Bay Beach, near the city's West End residential neighborhood, is the most popular sunbathing, swimming, and sunset-watching beach in the downtown Vancouver area. English Bay Beach is host to a number of public events. The Celebration of Light is a fireworks competition that is held for two weeks every summer
Stop At: Queen Elizabeth Park, 4600 Cambie St, Vancouver, British Columbia V5Y 2M4 Canada
Queen Elizabeth Park, Vancouver’s horticultural jewel, is a major draw for floral display enthusiasts and view-seekers, and as a popular backdrop for wedding photos. At 152 meters above sea level, it’s the highest point in Vancouver and makes for spectacular views of the park, city, and mountains on the North Shore.
The 52-hectare park is home to the stunning Bloedel Conservatory. There is also a gorgeously landscaped quarry garden, the arboretum with its collection of exotic and native trees, sculptures including one by internationally renowned artist Henry Moore, and diverse recreational offerings such as tennis, lawn bowling and pitch & putt.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: Granville Island, Vancouver, British Columbia V6H 3S3 Canada
In the early 1900s, Granville Island was home to factories, plants and sawmills. Things are a little different today—Granville Island is both a locals’ favorite and a huge draw for visitors. Technically a sandbar and not an island, the neighborhood sits just south of the downtown peninsula, right under the Granville Bridge. The Granville Island Public Market acts as a hub of activity and it’s also one of the city’s most important cultural districts with theatres, artisan workshops and craft studios.
Enjoy your time here to shop or just to enjoy a wonderful meal. Many restaurants for you to choose from.
Duration: 40 minutes

This was an excellent way to get an overview of Vancouver at the start of our stay. A comfortable vehicle and a knowledgeable guide made the tour very worthwhile. This tour allowed us to see the places we wanted to explore on our own. A highlight was the time we had at Queen Elizabeth Park which is not on the usual tourist track.This tour was a great overview of Vancouver. We enjoyed this beautiful city. We went to Stanley Park and saw the totem poles, Queen Elizabeth Park to marvel at the view and the flowers, the Gas Lamp district, and the water's edge.

Had a fantastic time with Erik from Guia Vancouver Tours. Was early for pickup car, car was nice and clean and eager to share his city with us and tailored his tour around our interests. Managed to get all of the major attractions in downtown Vancouver GasTown, Stanley Park, Granville Island and had lunch at a fantastic restaurant at Granville island before having some final shopping time before heading for home. Was offered to be dropped off anywhere we liked in town which was good but went with the hotel dropoff. He even took photos off our travels and sent a link through for download. Would use again
