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.
Last year we dropped the word “Limousine” from our name and rebranded ourselves as Star Chauffeured Services. Star Chauffeured Services better represents what we do and now, with the introduction of Star Sightseeing, we have truly become a full service ground transportation and sightseeing company with the newest and nicest fleet in the region.
Therefore, it is with great pride and pleasure that we can offer you the best of the best of the region. Join us and explore Vancouver, Whistler and Victoria on one or more of our carefully curated, elevated and fully guided sightseeing experiences. Let us show you why this region is considered to be one of the most desired places to live on the planet.
