Great tour - Liam was great! A brilliant way to go around Vancouver and see areas you may miss. Such fun to see where movies & TV shows were filmed that you’ve seen. Definitely a must and an inexpensive tour. Hope to see Liam on the big screen soon!

Experienced tour guide with great industry knowledge. Ryan also recommended a number of places to visit and eat! - Ryan was a fantastic tour guide. There were 5 on the tour and he adapted the tour according to the interests of the tour group. He has worked in the industry for a number of years and was very knowledgeable. Every so often (about 6 times over 3 hours), Ryan would show us film/tv clips made in the area we were standing!

Great walking tour for tv and movie fans - Really great tour of heaps of TV and Film shooting locations. Ryan was a terrific guide - he works in the industry so had lots of inside knowledge about actors and the ins and outs of making a show. I enjoyed the historical info he wove in as well as the restaurant tips. He was able to make the route accessible to one of the group who had a scooter, without any problem. We had started very slightly late as one of the attendees was late, but Ryan more than made up for it with extended commentary added on the end of the tour.

A Different Way to See the City - Had an absolute blast on this tour. As someone who watches way too much television, I knew I had seen a lot of Vancouver in the various shows I have watched over the years starting with The X-Files to most everything else. Our guide, an actor himself, was very amusing and knowledgeable.

Unique way to see the city- a nerds guide to Vancouver - I enjoyed the 1:1 walk around town. It was nice seeing the sites from previous movie and TV series, hearing stories of their filming, and watching the relevant clips that made the location(s) recognizable. Besides the movie and TV trivia, It was helpful having a local person to show me around the downtown area and introduce me to some really cool sites I may not have otherwise seen or known about!

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.
