About Tour Guide Bobby L.
Hello, my name is Bobby. I live in Vancouver. I love this beautiful city very much and am always very excited and eager to share the city with friends and visitors.
Besides Vancouver, I also provide private guided tours to Victoria, Whistler, and the Canadian Rockies in Alberta.
I enjoy travelling and have toured many countries. When visiting new places, I always look forward to experience the local lifestyle; savour the food; learn the culture, tradition, and history, to better understand the place I am visiting. I hit the highlights, the best places of interest the destination has to offer. Then I explore, meet the locals.
Come, join me. Let's explore this beautiful city of Vancouver, the Pacific Northwest, and the Canadian Rockies. We'll have fun; explore and learn; and enjoy in style, comfort, and luxury. We'll visit the world renown ski resort of Whistler in the Squamish Lil'wat First Nations Territory, and Victoria, the Garden City on Vancouver Island. For the history buffs, wine lovers, and movie goers, we will visit the Fraser Valley and Fort Langley. To enjoy spectacular highlands, mountains, canyons, turquoise coloured lakes, and wildlife, we'll visit the the Canadian Rockies, and play golf too!
