Phenomenal experience with a thoughtful and personified tour of Vancouver as North Hollywood

Wanderer17225125878, Sept 2025

First off a huge thanks to Rahat for what turned out to be the best, most insightful, respectful, funny and unforgettable tour we could have dreamt of. Providing a cultural, historical and industry backdrop to a perfectly paced promenade, we were given the real perspectives shaping Vancouver, its bustling film industry and those directly involved and affected by its success in recent decades. Could not recomment the tour or Rahat strongly enough! Definitely check out her IMDB at Rahat Saini - we know we will!

Amazing !!!

This is a really wonderful tour. I feel grateful ! Highly recommended ! I learned a lot of things behind the scenes of movies and TV. Austin who is a guide and a founder of this tour company is a real actor appearing lots of movies and TV , and he guided many different places in Vancouver where shootings of famous movies have taken placed, informatively and energetically as walking around. He guided the scenes and secrets of shootings from “Deadpool”, “Mission Impossible” , “Fifty Shades of Gray “ and so on !!! He is carrying a speaker in his backpack and shows you his iPad, so definitely you’ll be able to feel the scenes real. The activity which we read the scripts and played the rolls copying the actor and the actress in the comedy in front of the same building as the scene was fun, you’ll enjoy it ! I learned the way of treating local people around the shootings of actors and staff was polite and respectable. I re acknowledged Vancouver was a very unique city, It can be Seattle, China, can be NewYork, and everywhere thanks to the efforts of filmmakers. Also you can learn sort of economics of this industry. It survived well while the world had been going though the Covid-19 situation, making people feel happier filming in Vancouver. When you’ll watch the movies next time, you’ll see the great real efforts a lot of people are making also behind the scenes, and I’m sure your experiences will be extended and turn into being brand new. Austin’s guide was so energetic but he was always very kind caring about my energy state and gave me the relaxing break time in beautiful Dr. Sun Yat-sen Chinese garden where the action movie was filmed . If you’d join it with your children or your grandparents, you’d find it comfortable thanks to their caring mind. I hope you will enjoy this totally unique tour ! Hearty Thanks
