Take It! - Fantastic trip great conversation with Nick and the rest of the three-person crew. They recommended Sunny Chibas as a great place for lunch on our way to Whistler. We stopped and it was as good as it was weird! All the guys were great and friendly and interesting. Pretty funny at times too.

Fantastic Cruise! - We had a great time out on the water. Our tour guide, Nick was so knowledgeable about the area and it was fun getting to learn more about him too. I'd recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area.

Beautiful Bay Views, Great crew - We took an afternoon ride in October. Beautiful waterfront views. Sunny, chilly and breezy so bring a jacket! Crew was fabulous. Offered a variety of drinks and snacks. Interesting commentary about the tour and Vancouver. Top deck is set up with tables and chairs and can seat 20+ people. Very comfortable. Made my day when we saw a seal enjoying the water.

Good Value - This tour was exactly what we wanted. We got a pleasant tour of the harbour from the water at a reasonable price. Everyone had a seat at a tables on the top deck. There was seating inside but it was a nice day and went unused. The tour commentary was relaxed and interesting. I’ll save the best kudos for the staff. They were professional and very accommodating. We had gone to the wrong dock and had a frantic, last minute arrival. A crew member was there to meet us and helped turn a stressful start into a good experience. I would recommend this trip.

Wonderful experience - The crew were very professional and knowledgeable The boat had a mechanical issue during our tour, and the crew reacted flawlessly. Nick, who was funny and engaging, narrated our trip. I would highly recommend booking a boat tour with VanCity Cruises.

Needs improvement - Didn't meet expectations. Poor communication beforehand and also during the tour. Due to some wind they decided to not do the whole route (no Lions Gate Bridge) and said they'd go somewhere else but only went straight back to the dock in slow motion without giving further information. Left the dock late in the first place due to changing the dock number and not communicating properly and been back 15 minutes early. Could have been a great tour but seemed rather amateurish.

Never again - Tour was cancelled at very short notice due to techn. Problems. We stood at the jetty 40 minutes before the tour started. The boat wasn't a single person there. We think the participants were not sufficient and then 10 min. Before departure the cancellation which negatively affected our entire planning.
