Toonie Tours - Stanley Park and Seawall bike tour - We had a fabulous sunny day for our family bike ride with our two grown up sons. The bikes were very well maintained and Andrew was a great guide. There was very little on road cycling and I felt very safe, in fact the main challenges came from other cycling enthusiasts trying to overtake you. The ride was not at all challenging as it is almost exclusively on the flat with only one short steep section which all but one of our group got off for and pushed. You get to experience lots of different habitats including a very peaceful lake a wooded section. Although it is a three hour trip you probably only cycle for about two hours as you stop for a breaker the totem poles and then stop several times whilst the guide tells you about other landmarks. I thought the tour was a fantastic way to see beautiful Stanley Harbour and to also learn about the history of the area - go for it!

100% recommend this fantastic cycle tour - After a rocky start , we set off with the amazing guide Andrew . He was attentive , making sure our bikes , helmets were ok . The history we heard about was absolutely fascinating. We both learnt so much , along with old photos. We loved all the areas we went to and later on we returned to English beach . Andrew was very helpful when I had a little accident. First aid kit was used , checking i was ok before starting again . 100% recommend. Thank you Andrew for a super afternoon

Highlights of the park in the fresh air! - A fantastic way to see Stanley Park in all its glory! Cycling through the park we saw the Lost and Beaver Lake plus the stories behind them. The sea wall is spectacular as are the totem poles! We went through a little gap and onto trails leading through, what we described as an ‘enchanted forest’ and could’ve been easily missed if we didn’t have our fabulous guide. Even on the way to the park we stopped off at some historic houses and learnt their background. Highly recommend this tour for anybody!!! Loved it!

Memorable experience - I was very impressed with this tour thanks to Fran. There were four of us working together, including her, so I have great memories of being able to get along with everyone. The combination of German, Mexican and Japanese was very interesting. Thanks to her cheerful response, I was able to deeply learn about Vancouver's history, culture, and the nature of Stanley Park. The next time I visit, I would like to learn more about this beautiful city. This is a great tour that I would like to participate in again. Thank you very much!

It's Vancouver - We started our bike trip with some rain but Andrew was prepared, he had plastic ponchos for us and off we went. We enjoyed his presentation about Vancouver and Stanley Park. Would highly recommend.
