Best city yet and we’ve done a few - Joanne our driver guide made us feel safe and secure. Excellent driver and narrator. Joanne was very knowledgeable and even going to extra mile in way to airport to point out significant places. We also got to learn a lot about other provinces close to VC. I really enjoyed our tour today. Thanks. Yvette and Annemarie UK

Vancouver highlights - The trip was excellent and our driver Jason as very entertaining and full of knowledge . We had no real expectations of our trip but was delighted with what we experienced.
Loved Stanley Park where we saw black squirrels and lovely gardens. Elizabeth Bay was also very pretty.
Vancouver is a very green city with beautiful parks and trees which were starting to change colour for the Fall.
Thank you Jason for a wonderful trip.

Post cruise tour and airport drop off - We had a great experience, Jason was incredibly knowledgeable and made the trip special with lots of detail.
Would highly recommend post cruise with a drop off at the airport.

Efficiently Timed and Nicely Organized Tour - We had an evening flight back to the USA and had time until 4 P.M. to spend in Vancouver. This tour worked perfectly for our schedule.
Our guide Owen was wonderful. He was kind, helpful, thoughtful and gave us a lot of pertinent information about every one of our three stops. We knew exactly what to see and expect. He even pointed out various places of interest while driving around – things we would not have noticed on our own.
Stanley Park and the Totem Poles were amazing, Granville Island Market was awe-inspiring and the views from the Lookout were drop-dead gorgeous. Since everyone heeded his time instructions and we did not have to wait for anybody at any of the stops, Owen and the driver gave us ten minutes to get off the bus at the Gastown Steam Clock to view it from close by and take photos. That was awesome because this was supposed to be a “pass-by” only.
The bonus for this tour was the pick-up / drop-off option for tourists like us.
I have no hesitation in recommending this tour to others.

A wonderful way to spend the day 🥳 - We had the absolute pleasure of having Greg Booth as our tour guide💖
Greg was EXCEPTIONAL- OUTSTANDING- ENGAGING- KNOWLEDGEABLE-FUNNY-ENTERTAINING and full of interesting stories about Vancouver and the areas we were travelling through.
When we arrived at Granville Island Greg handed each of us a map he had made with details added to suggest restaurants, specialty shops and most importantly where to meet up with him again for the bus ride back to downtown. This map was SO helpful and very appreciated.
Thank you Greg for a wonderful day in Vancouver 🥳

This tour was not as promoted - We did the Vancouver City + Lookout Tour with Greg. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about Vancouver. However, this tour was supposed to be 4-1/2 hours versus almost 6 hours. This became concerning because we had to be at the airport. We had a warm day with very little air conditioning. Many of us were overheated. There needs to more attention and guidance at the stops. The tour was not as expected and had many loops with the same part of the City.
