I've tried to take this trip before but it was so popular and filled up both times. It is a well orchestrated trip with super local guide Teresa. She kept good up-to-date communication on recent unusual cold weather and very detailed instructions for public transportation to hotel from airport. It is a good program for first timers and/or repeat visitors to Vancouver covering many aspects of this beautiful city. Teresa was fine if I chose to skip meals, opt out on group games and/or field trips. All of our drivers were the best. They would give me a ride near downtown (where they return the buses) after they'd drop the group off at hotel at the end of day! I love the multi-lingual, multi-cultural diversity. People are friendly and everything is walking distance. I got a public library card where I get 2 hours free Internet per day! Public transportation is easy. The food in Richmond is better than those I've had inside/outside Southeast Asia! Thank you for orchestrating this wonderful program, operating at a loss due to low enrollment. Thank you, Ms Teresa for overseeing a successful program!
