Really Fun Tour! - The Hollywood North Experience Tour was terrific! My tour guide was Rahat, who was an actual Vancouver based working actress. I found her to be friendly, professional, and quite knowledgeable about both the city itself and its film industry. Her experience working in the city’s film industry yielded really interesting insights beyond getting to see the sites where famous scenes were shot. That said, the shooting locations didn’t disappoint. We got to see locations for Arrow, The Flash, Deadpool, Fringe, The Neverending Story, The Good Doctor, Motherland: Fort Salem, and quite a few other films and tv shows. Along the way, Rahat supplied interesting anecdotes about the film industry, background information about Vancouver’s history, and details about her own time working in the industry. There were also some fun group participation moments too. I’d definitely recommend this. I learned a lot, got to see the places where some of my favorites scenes were filmed, and generally had a pretty good time.

Walking film tour - Ryan did a fantastic job and answered all questions pertaining to film industry. He spent extra time mentoring my son on the Canadian film and directions on where his best opportunities might be in Vancouver. Small cozy group so personal experiences could be shared..,Ryan was terrific!

Super interesting!! - Super interesting tour!! I strongly suggest it to anyone that loves to watch movies and TV shows. We saw many filming locations and how the different productions use the locations through extracts from film scenes they play on their Ipad. The guide was also very knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions.

A Daily film experience - For our tour it was just my partner and I and one either couple. This made it feel like a private tour. Our tour guide, Daily (hope I spelt that right) was charming and full of knowledge and energy. He had plenty of stories to tell and was happy to answer any questions we had. Being actor's ourselves, we enjoyed discussing the differences of acting life in Canada to the UK. We loved this tour and would do it again next time we're back in the country just to hang out with Daily some more.

Fun Glimpse of the Magic of Hollywood - What a fun tour! Our guide was an actor/writer and was well informed on past, present and future films and tv shows filmed in Vancouver. The tour does involve quite a bit of walking so wear comfortable shoes. At each stop the guide used a lap top to reveal the scene that was filmed there. We saw a lot of locations that were used in films we had seen. Very enjoyable morning.
