Hi there! My name is Kim, and I'm a proud local host in the vibrant city of Vancouver. This city has a special place in my heart because of its rich culture and fascinating history. From the mix of heritage and modern architecture to the stories of the people and places that make this city unique, there's always something new to discover here. One of my favorite things to do in Vancouver is to explore its different neighborhoods on foot. From the bustling streets of the West Side to the tranquility of the North Shore, each neighborhood has its own personality and charm. And, as a foodie, I'm always on the lookout for the latest and greatest food spots. The food scene in Vancouver is always evolving, and I love trying new dishes and cuisines. But what I'm really passionate about is the history and architecture of Vancouver. I'm an expert on the historically significant buildings and hidden artworks in the downtown area, and I love sharing these fascinating stories with my guests. Whether you're interested in architecture, art, or just want to learn more about the city's history, I'm here to show you the best that Vancouver has to offer.

We were only in Vancouver for 2 days and were lucky enough to have Kim as our guide. Kim was born in Vancouver and knows the city very well. In fact, her father is an architect in Vancouver which gave Kim special insight and she was able to point out some very interesting buildings and secret spots that other guides may not know about. Kim was so fun to be with and it felt like we were out for the day with a friend. We told Kim what we wanted to see if the short 3 hours and she was able to fit everything in. We took the underground, a boat and walked around the city. Kim has great knowledge and was such a great tour guide. I would highly recommend this tour and Kim as your guide!!

Kim was flexible and showed us exactly what we wanted to see. Very good tour guide with a lot of local knowledge of the city. I’m very happy we scheduled this tour.

Kim took us to "off the tourist radar" sights and was incredibly knowledgeable about the city, architecture and history-exactly what we asked for.
