Parcours audioguidé pour visiter Vancouver

No need to worry about where to begin! Our tours are designed as a loop, so you can jump in wherever you are. The navigation system and audioguide will automatically adjust to your location. However, if you happen to be nearby, we do have a preferred starting point : Waterfront subway station : 601 West Cordova Street

Go Park, 320 Granville Street Parking in the city center is not recommended. It's better to rent a car after your stay in Vancouver, and if you have a vehicle, try to leave it at your accommodation. If none of this is possible, you can park on the street, but be mindful of the parking zones. Parking meters operate from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM, 7 days a week. You can pay via the PayByPhone app. Remember your license plate number, as you’ll often need it! Not only at the parking meter but also in restaurants inside shopping malls that offer parking for their visitors. You will be asked for it when paying for your meal, and the parking fee will be automatically calculated and deducted from your bill.

The airport is located 30 minutes south of the city, in Richmond. If you don’t want to take a taxi, you can reach downtown using the SkyTrain (around 9 CAD in 2023), Vancouver’s metro system. Operating from approximately 5 AM to midnight, it is clean and efficient. The best option is to get a "Compass Card" and top it up. You can also take the Aquabus (not part of the SkyTrain system), which is particularly useful for reaching Granville Island. The city of Vancouver, like the rest of Canada, uses the Canadian dollar. You can exchange some money before you leave to cover your initial expenses or exchange your euros upon arrival. Be aware that exchange rates are often less favorable at airports, so it's best to wait until you're in the city center. However, you don’t necessarily need to exchange money—you can withdraw cash directly from ATMs, though fees apply (exchange rate + bank fees from the ATM provider, usually $2 to $3). Another option is to pay directly with your credit card. Each transaction will be subject to the exchange rate and your bank’s international fees. Check your bank’s fees for foreign transactions before choosing the most cost-effective option. In any case, make sure to inform your bank about your trip to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Be aware that tipping is not optional! A good tip is considered to be between 15% and 20% if you were satisfied with the service, but a minimum of 10% is expected. Also, keep in mind that in Canada, prices are displayed before taxes, as different provinces apply different tax rates. These taxes are added separately at checkout. Expect to pay around 12-13% more than the displayed price, and on top of that, don’t forget to add the tip!
