“Our tour in Lynn Canyon Park - We enjoyed our day at Lynn Canyon Park very much. Our tour guide Ria was so gracious and flexible being able to delay our tour a day due to us getting into Vancouver a day later than we expected. She was so easy to talk to and took the time to answer our questions about the plants and trees in the area. I highly recommend Ria as a knowledgeable and fun tour guide.” - Reviewed on 2023-09-28
