Irina's tour is a MUST when visiting downtown Vancouver! I have only great things to say! She does a great job of providing information/history behind each site visited! She's also very easy to talk to and extremely well-traveled so I guarantee you'll have some EXCELLENT conversations while on tour! I definitely recommend this experience! I even managed to get some great photos along the way at each stop (be sure to ask her to take your photo- she has an incredible eye!). It was an absolute pleasure to spend time with you, Irina!

I truly enjoyed by Whistler sightseeing tour with Ryan. Great host and very knowledgeable about the Whistler history. I didn't know there was so much history in Whistler. Sights we saw were all interesting and beautiful. Highly recommend this tour. Highlight for me was the Olympic bob sledding run.
