Very courteous and knowledgeable. Had a great time and a lot of fun. Recommend him highly and we loved his vintage Caddie.
Great way to see the city. Ride in comfort and style. Driver was excellent; maneuvering easily around the city. Driver was knowledgeable and pleasant. Tour was tailored to specific needs of one of our group that used a cane. A perfect taste of the lovely city of Vancouver.
Best of Vancouver Private Tour was a delightful way to experience the city. Our guide, Chuck, picked us up at our hotel in his classic 1996 Cadillac limousine—a memorable and charming start to the day. We explored many of Vancouver’s highlights, from beautiful Stanley Park to Queen Elizabeth Park, where Chuck surprised us with a visit to the Bloedel Conservatory. We continued through vibrant Chinatown and historic Gastown, learning about the city’s rich history along the way. Chuck is more than a driver—he is a storyteller, historian, and ambassador for Vancouver. His humor, knowledge, and easygoing charm made every stop more meaningful. If you’re looking for a personalized introduction to Vancouver with a guide who truly loves his city, this tour is a wonderful choice.
What a great experience. Chuck was curteous and reliable, and even arrived early for pick-up. We enjoyed the comfortable ride in his spacious car which can easily hold 6 or 7 passengers and he generously shared his local expertise during the half-day tour of Vancouver. Loved that it was a flexible tour just for us. This was a perfect overview for the day after we arrived and were still a little tired from travel. It gave us a great overview of the city. It's one thing to look sights up on the internet and to actually see them. We also gave a few tips on where to go and what to avoid that I had not seen online. If you want your vacation to start on a chill note we recommend to book a tour with Chuck.
It was a lot of fun and we received a lot of great information about Vancouver. Chuck shared his knowledge about the city and was very attentive. The Cadillac limousine private tour was very comfortable and drew a lot of attention! I wish I remembered to take a photo of Chuck and his limo!
We had a wonderful tour with Chuck and his experience and knowledge of Vancouver was the best. We got to see more then we expected and we were not rushed and felt that Chuck wanted us to first enjoy the experience and secondly to get a good understanding of all that we saw. I would highly recommend this tour and we were both pleased with having got a taste for Vancouver.
Really good use of four hours. Chuck was knowledgeable, kind and had tons of good historical facts on the city.
Even though we didn’t get lucky with weather, the tour was excellent. We saw every important part of the city.
Chuck was fantastic, Excellent knowledge; excellent communication witht he four of us; and both entertaining and educational. A+ tour guide.
Chuck is a great guide, very experienced, and friendly. Taking us to our destination at the exact right time.
Very knowledgeable and friendly driver in a spectacular city. Very flexible approach. We would highly recommend this tour.
We booked the tour for Christmas eve. I was concerned we wouldn't get the tour as described, but after speaking with Chuck, our tour guide, he put those concerns to rest. Chuck was full of energy both on the phone and in person. Chuck was very knowledgeable on the history of Vancouver. He was engaging, funny and most of all patient. After providing the descriptions of several of the places, he allowed as to explore on our own without feeling rushed. The limousine was a cool addition. It was clean and comfortable and because of the wide windows you could see a lot of scenery while driving to the places of interest. We had a great time! I would definitely recommend the Best of Vancouver Private Tour.
Chuck did a wonderful tour around Vancouver. Such a beautiful city and Chuck knows all the history. We had fun and he is a safe and respectful driver and showed us a great time.
Our driver, Chuck, was the best! He knew what we wanted see, he added lots of good descriptions to what we were seeing. He was very patient and gave us plenty of time to make our photos at every location. We would definitely recommend him and his services to Vancouver visitors. J and L
We started an extended Alaska cruise/land trip in Vancouver. We had never been there before so we needed someone to share their knowledge of the city, it's sites and history to get a feel for Vancouver. Chuck was that person. He made us feel welcome and at ease from the moment we met him. He was friendly, personable and very knowledgeable. We ended the tour wishing we had more time to explore Vancouver on our own, but sadly we did not. We would both love to go back. As far as the "technical" details of the tour, everything was exactly as it was represented. Chuck picked us up at our hotel, The Sutton Place, on time. In fact he was a bit early, as we were. If we had requests, he accommodated them to the extent possible. We were the only couple on this particular tour so it worked out very well. I would recommend this to anyone who has never been to Vancouver. Thank you Chuck!!!

Anita was amazing. Very knowledgeable and took us to so many great places really got the feel for what the city has to offer.
Our private tour was the best! Such a wonderful way to see Vancouver especially when you don't have many days to visit. Chuck was very knowledgeable and provided us with a fantastic look at the City with its diverse neighborhoods. Our visit to the Parks and Granville Island were wonderful. My sister had never been to Vancouver and was enthralled by the beauty and culture Chuck introduced her to. While I have been a couple of times, this tour was so special. I saw and experienced so much more than I have every done in the past. Next time we will do one of their other tours! Highly recommend Wild BC Tours and Guiding!
Nice tour with Chuck who is so knowledgeable. It helps to read a little about Vancouver in advance, as you will have options, if you like, to adjust what you might see. Transportation and scheduling well done.
Chuck was an amazing tour guide navigating us through highlights of Vancouver. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend this tour.
My recent experience on the "Best of Vancouver" tour was truly memorable. I came away with the understanding that Vancouver is a city of constant innovation, seamlessly blending its rich history with forward-thinking developments. From its early days as a port city to its present international reputation, Vancouver's journey is one of remarkable transformation. Our tour guide Chuck expertly narrated this evolution, highlighting the city's milestones, including hosting Expo 86 and the 2010 Winter Olympics. The tour itself covered an interesting range of highlights, from stunning lookouts and views to the serene beauty of Stanley Park. It seemed as if each stop was carefully chosen to showcase another angle of Vancouver and Chuck provided fascinating insights at every turn. One of the most impressive aspects of the tour was exploring Vancouver's commitment to sustainability. The guide pointed out the innovative green roofs adorning many buildings, a testament to the city's dedication to environmental responsibility. This forward-thinking approach is evident in various city projects, from eco-friendly architecture to extensive bike lanes and green spaces. The conversion of former railway yards into the thriving dining and shopping district of Yaletown was another highlight. This revitalized area beautifully illustrates Vancouver's ability to repurpose and rejuvenate its spaces while preserving its historical essence. The same can be said with the impressive Granville island. The vibrant atmosphere, trendy boutiques, and diverse culinary offered in those repurposed industrial sites provided a glimpse into the city's dynamic urban life. Overall, the "Best of Vancouver" tour is an excellent way to experience the city's innovative spirit and rich history. It's a perfect blend of past and present, showcasing how Vancouver continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. Highly recommended for anyone eager to explore this beautiful and progressive city!
Fantastic tour! We had one day to tour Vancouver. Chuck was excellent, friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating of my father’s disability. Would highly recommend.
Good tour to do when you first get to Vancouver and then you can plan the remainder of your trip based off the private tour. Good overall view of city and great tour guide
Great tour. Chuck was informative and showed the sights of Vancouver and many of the wonderful neighborhoods. He gave us great ideas for how to spend the rest of our time in Vancouver.
Chuck Scott provided a first class half day tour of the city and surroundings. He is knowledgeable, entertaining, affable and a man of many talents. The car is a part of history itself. In addition to the sights, as a life long local, Chuck was a mine of interesting and illuminating anecdotes both from his personal experience and an observer of recent history. We would highly recommend this tour and its protagonist.
Picked up at our hotel in a beautiful, vintage Cadillac Limo by Chuck. He gave us a great tour of Vancouver along with the history of the city
Outstanding! Got to see all the highlights of Vancouver at our own pace. Comfortable ride and great experience.
Chuck provided a wonderful experience and tour for our family. He helped cater the tour to our young children while still showing us all the best spots in the city! His historical knowledge was fantastic and made the trip very authentic. Highly recommend!
Chuck was outstanding. Very knowledgeable about Vancouver and the surrounding areas and was a generally skilled and entertaining guide. Had a great time.
Anita, our tour guide arrived right on time. Which was I pressure because the street in front of the hotel was closed for a construction project unexpectedly! She was friendly and informative. The classic limo was fun! We enjoyed the tour. Recommend!
This was a wonderful way to see the city. Our tour guide James was very knowledgeable. We really enjoyed spending our afternoon with him and learning about Vancouver.
Amazing even in the rain. Made it fun!!!! Comfortable and saw all the areas of Vancouver in the description.
Chuck Scott We booked for our private car for city tour a Vancouver. It was fabulous being in a private car, because we beat the buses! CHUCK was full of knowledge, and had a very easy going to demeanor, to keep us informed on everything we saw. We also went into some areas like Shaughnessy and private homes. CHUCK was able to take us off the beaten path. I had Sara and I highly recommend him Patty Larkin
Anita was our tour guide. She was prompt and professional. Very knowledgeable. Extremely accommodating. Will take the tour again whenever our travels put us in Vancouver. Btw, the Limo sealed the deal for us.
James was an excellent tour guide. He went out of his way to please us with his interesting background stories and his flexible time frame. I highly recommend him and this tour.
Our guide and driver was Anita. She was so well informed and geared our trip to everything we wanted to see. It was our first visit to Vancouver and this was a great way to get the lay of the land on our first day. I loved the historic info Anita shared. I would recommend the company get a vehicle with a sun roof so we could see all the great architecture.
Great tour.. We traveled to all of the best places around the city in comfort. Our tour guide, James, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He made it a very enjoyable time. In the middle of the tour we had time to sample some of the great pastries at Granville Market while sipping a coffee on the waterfront. Well worth the price. Highly recommend this tour.
Our private tour was fabulous. Our guide was knowledgeable and so interesting. We got a wonderful overview of Vancouver.
Anita gave us a great overview of Vancouver and tour of the city. Loved walking through the parks and gardens.
Although we were exhausted from traveling and walking all day, Chuck made the tour fun and informative. Highly recommend, he is very knowledgeable about alll things Vancouver!
Our guide was great! Very knowledgeable and pleasant. The parks and gardens were definitely worth visiting.
This tour was a highlight of our recent Pacific Northwest cruise. Tour operator Chuck met our party of three at the cruise terminal and gave us a thorough tour of the various neighborhoods, districts, and parks that make up beautiful Vancouver. Chuck was extremely knowledgeable about the history and geography of the area. It was pouring rain throughout much of our tour, but we all still enjoyed getting out of the limo and walking around at various points, using the umbrellas provided. Stanley Park and Queen Elizabeth Park were stunningly beautiful with their fall colors on full display. Later on we passed the Roundhouse Centre in Yaletown and noticed a locomotive inside. My son is a train buff so my husband asked for an impromptu stop, which Chuck graciously accommodated. After the tour we asked to be dropped off in Gastown, not far from the ship, for more sightseeing on our own. Top-notch experience all around!
Great personal tour by very knowledgeable and friendly guide. An ideal way to see and learn about the essentials of Vancouver.
My wife and I enjoyed a four hour private tour with Chuck who showed us all the “must see” places mentioned in all guide books. His knowledge was incredibly detailed and provided an interesting insight into the history of the city and the surrounding area. The tour, and his knowledge, provided the basis for our own sightseeing in the following days, which was most helpful. Highly recommend this tour with Chuck, if you want to understand Vancouver.
Our driver Bjorn was very good, very knowledgeable about Vancouver and took us wherever we wanted to go. Let us customize our tour so we could stop for some shopping time.
We had an awesome day with Don taking our group of 6 to all the hilights of Vancouver in a very comfortable van. He knew the best times to avoid the crowds, and was very informative and taught us so much about the city he grew up in, and loves!! He picked us up from the cruise Port, and dropped us off at the hotel after 8 hrs.of fun. Highly recommend!
Four of us did the 4 hour private tour with Bjorn. It was an efficient and very enjoyable and relaxing way to visit and learn about the highlights of Vancouver. Bjorn had a wide knowledge of the city as well as other parts of the world and made the tour personal. He has a dry sense of humor and interacted well with us. And he multi tasked very well as he maneuvered through morning traffic while pointing out interesting landmarks. It was great for us.
We had a great private half day tour of Vancouver with Bjorn. I thought it would be difficult with the traffic, etc.,but Bjorn did a great job of showing us all the sights; the waterfront, gas town, Chinatown, et.al. Several stops with walks in quiet garden areas which my wife had requested. All in all a relaxing, but complete look at the city with his expert hometown knowledge and commentary. Highly recommended.
Our quest was to see as much of Vancouver as possible in four hours, and Bjorn delivered! In an elegant Cadillac limo, we visited Stanley Park, Gastown (very cool!), Chinatown and many select neighborhoods. Bjorn was knowledgeable and humorous and we greatly enjoyed our tour.
