In the summer of 1986, Vancouver hosted EXPO 86, a World’s fair. Canada invited the World and that summer, an estimated 22 million people attended. The success of EXPO 86 lasted well beyond the fair itself, and really set off a golden era of tourism for Vancouver and the region.
Around the same time, Star Limousine Service had expanded to include Star Coach and Limousine Service, with a larger fleet and greater seating capacities to cater to the growing demand for private transfers and custom sightseeing. Private and custom day tours of Greater Vancouver, Victoria, Whistler and multi-day guided tours through the Canadian Rockies became our specialty and it was only a matter of time before we decided to offer daily scheduled guided sightseeing tours.
