About This Tour
Calling all Wheelchair Wonders! Embark on a delightful journey through Vancouver's vibrant cityscape and scenic waterfront, all within a comfortable and accessible distance. This personalized city highlights walking tour covers about a mile (1.6 km) over 3.5 hours, ensuring a relaxed pace with approximately 2,000 steps - perfect for savouring the bustling charm and natural beauty of Vancouver.
The first stop of our adventure begins in historic Gastown, the birthplace of Vancouver, where you'll marvel at the iconic Steam Clock and learn why it's a must-visit photo spot, just a brief stroll from Waterfront Station.
Next, we travel two short city blocks and ascend 34 stories in a 45-second glass elevator ride to the renowned Vancouver Lookout. From this panoramic perch, soak in breathtaking 360-degree views of the city, harbour, and majestic mountains.
We'll then return to Waterfront Station and board a 15-minute passenger ferry across Burrard Inlet to Lonsdale Quay. Here, we can take in picturesque views of Stanley Park, the city skyline, and the bustling Port of Vancouver while enjoying photo opportunities, snacks, and a leisurely break before returning Downtown via the Seabus.
Our exploration continues with a visit to Canada Place, offering optional experiences like Flyover and the Port of Vancouver exhibit, just a short 15-minute journey from Waterfront Station.
Admission prices and Public Transportation tickets can be included in the tour pricing for your convenience, with advance (timed) ticket purchase recommended for Flyover.
While timing is approximate, I tailor the tour to the group's pace, ensuring a relaxed and enjoyable experience with ample opportunities to pause and appreciate Vancouver's charm. Join me for an unforgettable adventure—we're not in a race, just here to delight in the journey together!

“Tracy provided so many awesome recommendations.”
Tracy is absolutely amazing! She was an awesome guide who really knows and loves her city of Vancouver. She was very flexible on where we went and knew so much about the history and architecture of the city. She took us to some off-the-beaten path locations to really soak up the feel of the city. She was super helpful on how to get around on transit and provided so many awesome recommendations for places to eat. I'm very grateful to Tracy for her wonderful hospitality.

“Tracy scheduled the perfect customized tour for us!”
We would give our guide Tracy a million stars if we could! She is knowledgeable, personable, hilarious, witty, intelligent, flexible, organized and an all around lovely person.
Our niece is in a motorized wheelchair and Tracy scheduled a perfect customized tour for us! She related to everyone in our group and even made my teenage nephew laugh!
I'm in my 60s and I've never had a better tour guide anywhere than Tracy. She will make your visit to Vancouver special because she is special!
