Create Custom Vancouver Walking Tours to Become the Host with the Most

When you live in a city like Vancouver, you don’t tend to hit up the tourist spots, which can make hosting guests difficult. The pressure is on to recommend the right Vancouver walking tour to take your guests to the city’s hidden gems.

If you are hosting—whether friends, family or Airbnb guests—they will be counting on you for the insider scoop. Local recommendations take any trip to the next level, allowing out-of-towners to experience the lesser-known spots which really showcase the best a city has to offer.


Of course, as a host (especially, through Airbnb, when you might have new guests every week), you don’t always have time to show people around. Despite not being personally available, you want your guests to experience the best things to do in Vancouver—to feel that they are getting to know a local’s Vancouver. That’s the true Airbnb experience, after all.

Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Rather than sending your guest off on a mainstream walking tour, a quick download of the Roam app will get them off the beaten path on a truly personalized day (or night) out.

You’ll get to impress your visitors with the depth of your local knowledge, sending them off on an adventure while you live your daily life. It’s an excellent way to take the stress out of hosting.


Check out suggestions for Vancouver walking tours or build your own to ensure that it caters to your guests’ interests. Roam has got you covered, making it a cinch to discover the best things to do in Vancouver in every category.

Let’s say your guests are big cinephiles. Put together a Vancouver walking tour of the filming locations from hot movies and TV shows—as well as a sweet new lunch spot to keep everyone fuelled up. For example, one of the most popular routes on the app guides you around the filming locations of Netflix’s sci-fi noir hit, Altered Carbon.

Other popular routes on the Roam app include Granville Island, Stanley Park and Yaletown, designed to make the most of every visit. Local recommendations ensure your guests take in the must-sees while skipping anything overhyped. Other routes serve as guides to Vancouver’s exciting events, such as the Vancouver Mural Festival.


As well as checking out existing recommendations, it’s easy to create your own ideal route which takes in the best eateries, stores, cultural sites, museums and more. Rather than fighting with a paper map or trying to plan on the fly and ending up at lacklustre attractions, you can have it all ready for your guests—meaning more time to soak up Vancouver’s best museums, historical sites, breweries, restaurants, etc.

As you discover more of the best things to do in Vancouver, simply curate them via the Roam app. It’s easy to share your favourite routes with friends, family or Airbnb guests, making you the host with the most—just watch those 5-star reviews roll in.


The combination of local recommendations with a high level of personalization (taking into account interests, time of day, weather and more) makes this a real winner. Create walking tours of Vancouver which cover your guests’ every need for the day, with stops to sightsee, eat, drink and shop all planned out.

Sure with Google Maps on your phone, you can always find the quickest way to get somewhere, but with Roam, you can find the most interesting way.
