How to be a Vancouverite!

Vancouver is Canada’s third largest city and, according to this hilarious video, it’s full of hipsters, weather complainers and no-hands skytrain riders. And we couldn’t agree more. Many of the GuideAdvisor crew have spent time in the city, as evidenced by our Starbucks cup collections and strong opinions about bike lanes. (Although none of us have yet to purchase a Lamborghini and slap an “N” sticker on it.) That said, we certainly don’t know everything about the city, nor does this video touch on it all. For that we recommend hiring Vancouver tour guides.

Take photo guide Suzanne Rushton, for example, who knows all the best daytime and nighttime spots to see and photograph the city. Or Chuck Scott and his 13-year-old son Nick who will pick you up in a limousine and then show you the natural sites of Vancouver so close to downtown you’ll have a hard-time believing you’re in the middle of a major urban centre. Or, if trees and totem poles aren’t your thing, take in the best of urban culture and join Will Woods on his entertaining Granville Street Reveal tour. Of course, no tour of Vancouver would be complete without getting out on the water. Join Clayton Watson on a paddleboard or jetski tour of the harbours around the city or go crab fishing on Captain Rod Herbert‘s power cruiser for the day. Whatever you decide to do in Vancouver, we recommend two things: hire Vancouver tour guides and don’t mention Roberto Luongo.
