About

In operation since November of 2008, ToursByLocals connects travellers with knowledgeable local guides. Globally, the company has over 4500 guides located in 182 countries and territories around the world. Here in Vancouver - ToursByLocals headquarters - we have 15 excellent guides offering dozens of different activities to help you experience Vancouver from a local's point of view.

Each local guide has been carefully selected so that you can rely on their knowledge and expertise. And every guide brings their own unique insights, skill-sets and interests to their tours.

The tours offered are wide ranging and focus on the things Vancouver is famous for – our spectacular west coast environment and our culture. Some tours are suitable for first time visitors, while others will be of interest even if you’ve been here many times.

As each tour is private, you can customize it exactly to your needs. Want to hike the north shore mountains? Explore Vancouver's craft beer scene? Learn about the history of Granville Island and Stanley Park? Our guides look forward to providing you with a tour of Vancouver from a local’s point of view.
