Vancouver winter means ski season, festivals, funky light events and new trails to explore.Just because it’s colder doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be outside.Grouse Mountain is one of the top Vancouver points of interest. Some people prefer skiing or snowboarding at Grouse Mountain in Vancouver since it’s the closest to downtown but that does make it a little bit busier than some of the other local hills.If you’re not in to skiing or snowboarding it’s almost worth going up to Grouse Mountain in winter just for the view of the city lights and the other awesome winter activities that go on up there Trying at least one outdoor activity this winter is a must do in Vancouver. Below are some of the best outdoor and indoor activities in Vancouver this winter. 1) Peak of Christmas in Grouse Mountain 2) Head to the Vancouver Christmas Market 3) Bright light in the Stanley Park 4) Experience CandyTown in Yaletown 5) Shop at the Craft Winter Market 6) Go ice skating downtown 7)Enjoy Granville

Inclusions: Professional Driver + Guide, Air-conditioned vehicle, Private transportation, Snaps and Photo Stop Allowed, Discover the Vibrant Stall and Street Food to eat, Grouse Mountain Admission Tickets, Spotify on demand

I had to travel from Vancouver to Kelowna to receive some specialized cancer treatment and my wife accompanied me. Kelowna Concierge picked us up at the airport and delivered us to the Hyatt Place. Next morning, the limo picked me up at the hotel to go to the Cancer Centre. In the afternoon, the limo picked up my wife at the hotel and together they picked me up at the Cancer Centre. Next day, they picked us up at the hotel to go to the airport. Each time, the drivers were courteous and professional. They were always on time. The limos were clean and the drivers practiced strict safety protocols. This is especially important to me during Covid-19 and right after my cancer treatment. I highly recommend Kelowna Concierge and will use them again during my next trip to Kelowna.

What a fantastic day in the Fraser Valley! Dave was great fun, organised, flexible and very knowledgeable about the wines and vineyards. I would definitely recommend touring with Dave for a unique and stress free experience. We'll be making our way to the Okanagan to do the same thing with Dave over there.

My hubby and I did this tour as a celebration. Melanie our driver was informative and super fun. This tour was so well thought out and timed. We enjoyed this part of our get away so much. They dropped us off and picked us up from our Hotel. We went to 4 vineyards and stopped in the middle of it for lunch. This is exactly what we needed. Thank you so much Zach for being so informative and listening to our wants and dislikes before the tour.

This past year has been rather drab with all the restrictions and laying low that has been dragging on and on. Erika changed all that for me and my bubble. She easily curated a perfect day of fun and adventure based on who we are and she was an amazing facilitator the whole time. I have not had a day of that much fulfillment in along time and I have never had a day of that much fun that was so effortless for me. twofiveo does the work. Thanks for the wonderful lifetime memory!

There isn’t anybody I would recommend more than the wonderful Gerry to host your Okanagan wine tour! A few of us in the wine industry head out for a day of ‘market research’ ;) and we were beyond impressed, our tour was perfectly curated with impeccable service! On top of how fun and easygoing Gerry is he is very knowledgeable, sharing info about the Okanagan wine region and the history of development, back stories of each winery we visited, viticulture, terroir, winemaking styles, etc (if you wanna get geeky he’s your man!) We absolutely loved getting to know Gerry from the other side of the tasting bar for a change! There is no doubt why he’s won the BC Tourism Customer Service Award because he is the boss (the WINE BOSS!) Can’t wait to book the next venture!!
