Professional Step on Guide Services
Your Expert Local Voice on Board
Island Time Tours provides experienced step on guides who join your motorcoach, cruise group, or private tour to deliver rich, engaging commentary on Vancouver Island's history, culture, and natural wonders.
What Is a Step on Guide?
A step on guide is a professional local guide who boards your existing motorcoach or vehicle to provide expert commentary and narration throughout your tour. Rather than replacing your driver, a step on guide enhances the entire experience with in-depth local knowledge.
Island Time Tours' step on guides are fully licensed, insured, and deeply passionate about Vancouver Island. From the moment they step on board, your group gets an authentic, engaging, and informative experience that no pre-recorded audio tour can match.
