Nash picked me up at promptly at 10AM and took me to an old growth forrest with huge trees, beautiful waterfall, a still water pool, flowers & fauna, Lynn Valley suspension bridge, Stanley Park, Granville Island, Gastown/Steam clock, Prospect Point and the Capilano River Regional Park for the great view of the Lions Peak. He included photo ops at colorful mailboxes and with the Canada Post vehicle once he knew I'd been a Postmaster in the US. I was the only one on his tour today. He gave lots of time, tips & instructions on how to take better photos with my iPhone15 Pro Max and editing tips too! He never hurried me but went at my pace and let me fully explore each of the stops. Nash was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and fun-He even let me take a couple of pictures of him:) I would recommend this tour to everyone😁 Thanks Nash!!!

This was a great way to spend the 1 day we had in Vancouver. It showed us the many different aspects of this amazing city with some indigenous history thrown in.

Awesome day

This was an amazing experience. I learned a great deal about how to use my IPhone to take better pictures. The places we visited were outstanding with a lot of variety. Natee is a great host sharing wonderful information about Vancouver. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat.

Nash was great. It was a full day of fun. His knowledge of Vancouver is amazing. Especially Bowen Island.

Wonderful day in Vancouver

anglmtncer, May 2023

We had a spectacular day with Nash. He was very accommodating and patient with seniors in our group. He took us to uncrowded places which we appreciated. He helped us with our photography and was more than willing to take photos of our group. We did a lot of walking and thoroughly enjoyed the beauty of Vancouver

Best tour of Vancouver!

John_C, Sep 2022

What an awesome tour. While most guides focus on man’s creations, Naseef emphasized the things that make Vancouver unique - in particular it’s beautiful natural setting. By the end of our day, I came away with a true appreciation for Vancouver, it’s people, and it’s beautiful location. If you can take only one tour of Vancouver, this should be the one!

Wonderful experience

Michelle_D, Aug 2022

Our tour guide Nafees was wonderful, so friendly and informative. We went all over the place and he showed us so much of Vancouver. One part of the tour was quite strenuous, but he walked in the back and allowed us to pick our pace. Never once rushing us, always making sure we took rests and had plenty to drink. I would highly recommend this tour, as we both really enjoyed Nafees and seeing all the beauty that Vancouver had to offer.

Easy way to have a quick tour of Vancouver's "must see"

Emmanuel_B, May 2022

We had a lovely time with our guide. We saw many of the most classic sights of Vancouver without having to rent a car and figure out the itinerary, but mostly, we were guided to the best spots. We also learnt some stuff regarding photography, despite the fact that we're not complete beginners. This was a great bonus. Some in our group were not fast walker, but the guide made sure we didn't miss anything despite this issue. Overall, a very positive experience.

Awesome

Brent_R, Aug 2021

Got to see lots, and learned some photo tips. Enjoyed the day, and recinmind this for anyone, but good for those who like to take photos. Really good tips learned. Thank you

Beautiful Vancouver

Frank_K, Dec 2020

Nice place. Friendly and professional guide. He took us to all the “must see” Vancouver attractions.

Excellent experience to learn photo perspectives

Suzannacoral, Dec 2019

Nafees provided a very interesting combination of easy hiking, exploration and photography. I learnt simple but really useful tips to use my iPhone to take shots of moving water and still objects, as well as to enhance the colour layers of beautiful landscape. Tour is highly recommended!
