Informative and Entertaining - Very informative and entertaining at a great pace. Wished we were staying longer in Vancouver so that we could book another tour with Michael Lawrence. The man has so much to share and does it wonderfully.

The highlight of our time in Vancouver - From our initial contact with Michael, right through until I required his help post-tour, Michael could not have been more professional, friendly and accommodating. Our family of four only had a limited time in Vancouver prior to our road-trip to Calgary. To maximise getting a taste of the city prior to moving on, I sought the company of a local. Having never flown before as a couple or a family (environmental reasons), we prepared for jet lag and poor weather by choosing the comfort of a minibus. Although it cost more, we knew that travelling in a small group rather than on a coach would be so much more beneficial, and were proven correct. Prior to departure, I emailed Michael requesting a high back booster car seat for my child. I had faith in Michael's ability as a professional driver but know from experience that you never get a second chance in preventing road traffic collisions caused by other road users. He promptly sent me details of a well recommended children's equipment specialist from whom we could hire a seat. As we needed a car seat for the next 3 weeks, in the event we bought one from Canadian Tyre but were extremely grateful for this option. The morning of the tour was challenging as our youngest was unable to join us (we can't buy Melatonin in the UK and unfortunately, he had had a bad reaction). This meant that I was particularly flustered on meeting Michael but his manner, meant that soon enough, we were relaxed and enjoying all the sites. We covered so much more than if we were travelling independently. It was extremely interesting that we were learning the history, especially of the indigenous Vancouvians, without having to constantly refer to maps and guidebooks. I was concerned initially regarding the lunchtime food option as I am vegan and my eldest is lacto-vegetarian. We ate in a seafood restaurant (a first for us) but were pleasantly surprised and my eldest now loves truffle fries. I usually use the Happy Cow app while travelling and in time I realised that Canada really does not cater for vegans, being about a decade behind the UK. That's why it was particularly impressive that I had delicious options despite my dietary choices. Our fellow guests were 2 American couples and they could not have been lovelier, which only added to making this a very special day out. Towards the end of the trip we visited an Ice cream parlour. Disappointingly it had a huge selection of ice creams but unless you like sorbets, no vegan alternative. Realising that my sweet tooth was not being catered for, Michael generously offered to drive me to a local cafe which had vegan dessert options so that I would not miss out. I was also struck that rather than following a set script and blandly only saying to us visitors what we wanted to hear, Michael came across as a really genuine Canadian guy who loves what he does. It seems that on departing the minibus, I left my Rayban prescription sunglasses behind. These are the only expensive thing that I own (I don't do labels but they were particularly sturdy) and if lost, I would never have been able to justify replacing them. They were also essential to being able to function independently while on holiday. That evening I contacted Michael and immediately he checked his vehicle and located my shades. I was able to collect them near to our hotel the next morning when he dropped them off to me. Michael's tour was our perfect introduction to the huge, beautiful country that is Canada. I would recommend him to both visitors to Vancouver and also local residents. Thank you so much for going above and beyond, Michael.

Best of Vancouver - Great Tour to see the highlights of the City of Vancouver in a few hours! Michael is very knowledgeable and able to share great insights into the history and the culture of Vancouver. I would recommend this Tour to those with limited time to explore Vancouver.

It's a yes! - This tour was perfect! It hit all the highlights without a lot of extraneous on and off the bus. The duration was just long enough to not feel rushed, and short enough to keep your interest. Michael was a great guide and offered lots of interesting information about all of Vancouver, even if it was just a drive by stop. He was very friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. The inclusion of references to his experiences living and working in the area added to the enjoyment. I wish we had had more time to shop at Granville, but not a reason to take "points" away from the overall experience.

City Tour - Michael did a wonderful job letting us explore the beautiful city of Vancouver BC. He is extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to be with. Couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend the day.

Great tour as advertised ! - Great trip knowledgeable tour guide . Just a perfect day saw everything we hoped to. Great travel companions made for a totally enjoyable and worthwhile experience.
