Great Bike tour - We had a blast riding around Stanley Park and Vancouver. Andrew had a great knowledge for the area and kept the pace pretty sedate for the slower riders.

Great overview of Vancouver - Highly recommend this tour through Toonie Bike tours. One of our group was anxious about the tour, but Andrew created a 5-star experience for us, making us feel as if we were the only ones on the tour. He used his humor and vast knowledge of history to create a safe & fantastic bike ride for us. We even learned some photography tips along the way. It was a novel way to spend half a day in Vancouver and get a sense of all the primary areas.

Yes! - Our bike tour with Amy was fabulous. Her positive energy and knowledge of the area was a great combination. A good tour guide absolutely made the experience. I was slightly nervous about the traffic involved with doing a bike tour, but was pleasantly surprised. Although we started and ended downtown, most of it was on designated bike paths. Even the small stretch in city streets was fine. Drivers seemed very used to bicyclists, and Vancouver drivers are very reasonable, slow and aware (unlike east coast US drivers!!). We learned so much about the area, and this tour was a highlight of our trip. We got the e-bike upgrade, which was really fun, but not necessary. Upon arriving at the meeting spot I realized there were many bike tour choices. Upon returning 4 hours later, I felt incredibly lucky we stumbled on this one. The best!!

Do it! - Great way to spend a morning! I would recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your visit as it gave us a good idea of the layout of the city and lots of ideas of places we wanted to spend more time in later on. The pace was good and our guide Amy had tons of anecdotes to share about the city.
