“Super tour with a guide who was in character and told stories throughout about her fictional hard life in Vancouver which touched on various historical events. She had photos of real people and places which she had incorporated into her ghoulish tales. Very well done as she brought the history to life, almost too well! With comedy and tragedy mixed in. You had to use your imagination at times as certain buildings don’t exist anymore. Well worth the money.”

He was very proud of his city and shared many insights that only a local would know. Since the funicular had a very long lineup, we decided to walk up. Sam said that he would find an alternative if we couldn’t manage the trip. It was a little difficult for us but Sam took his time and we stopped a few times on the way. He was the perfect tour guide with a great sense of humour and very considerate of everyone in our group.”
