Come & take a tour with me, Konrad, & you will gain an appreciation of Vancouver's past, present & future. My strengths as a tour guide are my love of people & my attention to requests, my skill in adapting my tour for tour guests, my pleasant sounding voice, my knowledge of history, geography, urban development, & the local ecology. My eye for details which draws attention to features otherwise missed, increases your enjoyment of a tour of this young city. My unique perspective allows you to see & make sense of Vancouver. My superior multilingual skills allow me to offer you an alternate language version. After a tour with me, your enjoyment of what Vancouver has to offer will increase, as you gain the knowledge on what to see, & how to make the most of your time here. Your enjoyment of your tour experience is my priority. As an experienced tour guide, Konrad will provide enthusiasm, quality, educational value & entertainment. This city walk is not for the budget-minded traveller, who consciously seeks a low value experience, requiring a minimum honorarium for the minimum guiding services offered, quite the opposite. Among experienced travellers, it is common knowledge that an honorarium (not a tip) is given by each participant on the tour, offered within a handshake to the guide. PLEASE MAKE PAYMENT CASH & IN CANADIAN FUNDS ONLY. Each guest, even those travelling as couples, or in groups, has this ready, when the tour guide announces the end of the tour, which will be at Canada Place. The minimum honorariums suggested for the large numbered walking tour groups in Europe, do not apply in Canada, as the tours are much smaller groups with more personalized service offered to individuals.

Tour description

 Vancouver


 

Hello Visitors. Welcome to Vancouver BC, the most beautiful city in Canada! 



Do you want to see the best views of the city skyline, its growing array of sparkling towers, it’s waterfront &  it’s beautiful greenery?

Would you like to have someone help to capture  daring "ussies"?   Do you want to start exploring areas armed with knowledge some locals might not even know?  Would you like to do the when & where to see Vancouver’s best?  Do you want to know Vancouver like the back of your hand? If you want to blend in with the locals, pay attention to your shoes, use local Canadian currency  & don't wear a fanny pack!


Here the  air, water, shrubs, trees, imported & local beauty cannot simply be sniffed at. It has to be enjoyed by getting out there on a GuruWalks tour.
