- travisdH2396WI0 contributionsHighly RecommendWe loved the fact our guide actually worked in the film industry. Great blend of historical, film and haunting information.Written March 10, 2025
- Quest8241550 contributionsBrings the show to lifeWe all loved the tour, Olga was a brilliant guide and brought scenes from the show to life really well, using video clips at each of the sites we visited, and shared plenty of interesting stories about the Vancouver locations. Highly recommend this for fans of the show.Written October 29, 2024
- laurenmM917ST0 contributionsgreat tour for supernatural fansthis tour was fantastic. i guide was amazing. you could tell she really loved supernatural and had so many fun facts and trivia questions for us while we walked between locations. the spots were all so cool to see and it was great having the ipad with scenes so we could see how the locations were used in the show. it was also so amazing that they ran the tour for us on an off day because it was the only date we were in town. love it! a must for fans of the show.Written September 17, 2024

- KayDawn970 contributionsA great timeCecilia was a great guide. It was just our group with her. She was very nice and a good story teller. And she gave out candy for answering questions about what she had told us which was fun and also helps to remember the stories. We usually do just ghost tours in cities but we love movies so had to try this out. Mind blown by how much is filmed here. Highly recommend the tour. Now what you really want to know-how much walking. She did a good job trying to get us stops with benches when she could. We did hit some stairs when we went into the Fairmont. Other than that it is a walking tour but we didn’t hit any huge hills or really any other stairs after that. We do walk around the art museum area and then over to gastown so distance in the description should be accurate but it is broken up by stops.Written July 16, 2024
- F8792NHjessd0 contributionsAbsolute must do for Supernatural fans!This tour was so much fun! Saw a bunch of supernatural filming locations and learnt interesting stuff about the filming process and the actors. I’m really glad Brandon was my tour guide, he was super engaging and knowledgeable about the show. Using the iPads to show off the relevant scenes from the show was also really neat. I had trouble placing some of the scenes until we watched them and it became so much clearer. It also sparked further conversation about the specific episodes, seasons and characters. I highly recommend this tour to any supernatural fan.Written July 9, 2024
- 820madushap0 contributionsAmazing!It was really nice tour with Brandon and Alex. This being Brandon's first Supernatural tour, I must say he is off to a really good start and we wish him the very best. I work for Destination Vancouver where I help promote these kinds of tours. And I am a huge Supernatural fan. So it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this tour which I had been waiting to go on. Thank you!Written June 15, 2024
- joshcartoonvibes0 contributionsGhostly ToursWow! Ryan is amazing storyteller and also very funny guide. He make the whole tour unique and engaging. I wish it was more longer and to enter the actual buildings, but Ryan kept the tour really scary and spooky. Also, there‘s some activities that we do on Blood Alley that are nothing like the other ghost tours.Written February 19, 2024
- A2616XNjos_c0 contributionsBest tour of SupernaturalThis tour is amazing. Alex is such a great tour guide, I hope he gets out more to do more of this tours. This time was Ivan, who also was amazing, and Ryan, i have kept coming back with my friends to do this tours. #BringBackAlex!Written February 19, 2024
- 86elplanetad0 contributionsBEST GHOST TOUR IN VANCOUVERRyan is a great tour guide, i have a blast with him and also Alex, the co-guide, who it was his first time doing the haunting tour, he was awesome as he was telling personal stories about ghosts. They kept you on the edge in every location you go. I definitely recommend this tour!Written February 19, 2024
- J58YFcarolinam0 contributionsA "must do" for movie lovers!If you are a fan of scary, interesting and exciting stories, this tour is for you. I simply loved my experience. I was able to see Vancouver from a totally unique angle and what I liked most was the fact that in addition to the scary stories, we are also introduced to historical facts and beautiful journeys that surrounded the region. Ryan was a kind guide, extremely polite, with a wealth of knowledge and a willingness to help. I felt comfortable at all times. I loved it, I recommend it and I would love to do it again!Written December 3, 2023
- simonmarcellaf0 contributionsBest haunted tour in VancouverRyan led a well organized tour. His knowledge about the history of film, crime and ghost stories of downtown Vancouver was incredible. He was friendly, personable and funny. My wife and I took this tour for our anniversary and the tour exceeded our expectations. Thanks RyanWritten October 28, 2023
- 487lindyk0 contributionsSupernaturally Good TourOur guide was so friendly, adapted the tour to our interests and gave us some fun extra stops so we could see scenes related to shows we watched! Verygy informative, really knows his stuff and super funny. Definitely recommend for a Halloween experience as well as a cool way to learn some fun places to check out later! Also gave us candy for trivia prizes even though we kept getting everything wrong hahaWritten October 21, 2023
- E2400UDdyland0 contributionsThree tours in one!This is a great way to spend a few hours touring the city. You basically get three tours in one. The first tour is what the company is about Vancouver films, while we were on the tour we even saw a show being filmed. The next tour is a tour of Vancouver you get to see the various areas of the downtown core, and get to learn some of the history of the city. The last tour is the haunting tour which was my favourite part, the tour guide goes into all the creepy details about the various areas around Vancouver. Overall this tour was a great experience the tour guide was fun, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the city and films.Written October 17, 2023

If you're a visitor to Vancouver (or a local) this is an awesome tour to several locations used by productions in Vancouver. It was very cool to see the actual places used in film and television production.
Being able to watch a clip of the scene while standing at the location was amazing and Austin was able to share the details that changed these familiar places into other "locations." It was fascinating to learn how many different productions use the same location for different projects and gain some insight into why some places show up again and again in different shows. As a British Columbian, I get a kick out of recognizing Vancouver (and other places in the province) when they show up in film and television. This tour gave me a much better appreciation of how much work is actually being done in the city.
The tour length was perfect - about 3 hours in total with stops spaced out well and a good variety of movies and films included. Austin was entertaining and very knowledgeable and kept the pace moving along while also spending time to answer questions in depth. As a local actor, he's got lots of experience to share.
I definitely recommend this tour for both locals and visitors - it's a great way to spend a couple of hours and see Vancouver through the lens of your favourite movies and television shows.

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.

This is a fantastic three hour walking tour in Vancouver. Our guide Daley was very knowledgeable about the Film & TV making industry in Vancouver. On an iPad, we watched footage of movies & shows that had been filmed outside of numerous buildings and on many street locations. We even got to do a “take” of a Reese Witherspoon movie outside of the Vancouver Public Library. I highly recommend this walking tour and a bonus is that you visit other tourist destinations like Chinatown and Gastown on the way too. *****

We came to Vancouver for its vibrant film and tv scene and our tour guide, Dan, with Vancouver Film and TV Tours did not disappoint! Dan arrived promptly at Robson Square for our tour, which turned out to be a private one as no one else booked that day. My son, the film guy, loved hearing about the different camera angles, screen shots, etc., as well as re-enacting certain scenes during our three-hour tour, which encompassed all of the major downtown Vancouver areas. We also appreciated walking through and hearing about the general history of Vancouver, including Gastown, Chinatown, Yaletown, etc. and ending at Waterfront, which made it more than just a film and tv tour. Dan did not hesitate to provide recommendations for a variety of food, drink and activities and was simply the best in his "behind the scenes" knowledge of the Vancouver film industry. This walking film tour is a must do for all ages!

My group had a wonderful time on the Hollywood North Experience Tour, which was led by Rahat. She was an amazing guide - extremely knowledgeable about the industry and the city itself. We particularly appreciated her transparency and sensitivity surrounding some of the uglier aspects of the city that we passed on the tour, while keeping the morning fun and interesting. Really cool to be able to see clips while standing in the place where they were shot. At 3 hours, we felt like we really got our money's worth. And so glad there was a built in coffee/bathroom break!

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.

The guide was an actress and very knowledgeable about the role Vancouver plays in making films of all genres ! I am a fan of hallmark movies and recognized many locations from the films. The 3 hour walking tour is also a great way to visit this magnificent Canadian gem!

The three hour walking tour of Downtown Vancouver was expertly narrated by our guide named Sam. Being an actor himself, Sam was able to provide answers to many questions regarding his profession and the film industry. Along the tour we encountered a fleet of film trucks and were able to engage with one of the crew. Great tour!!

Our tour guide Dan was fabulous. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and he knows a lot about what he is talking about, as he is an actor. He personalized the tour, let us take breaks to get something to eat quickly, and he threw in some random Vancouver trivia. I definitely appreciated the short media clips, showing action happening in the locations we were at. I would 100% recommend this to anyone who is interested in the word of film and can walk for about 3-4 miles.
