Perfect Vancouver experience! - Renee was perhaps the best tour guide we have ever come across! He was absolutely hilarious. A longtime resident of Vancouver, he shared personal stories and so much knowledge of his city. We saw Stanley park and Granville island and a beautiful drive through the city. He gave us extra time at key points and offered to take pictures of our family for us. This was the perfect tour to take before our cruise left so that we could see the high points of Vancouver. 100% recommend this to anyone considering a tour in this beautiful city! Extremely memorable.

Great hospitality! - We really enjoyed our tour. Renee was friendly and funny, and obviously loved the beautiful city that he was showing us. Our hotel concierge contacted the company, and Renee even was able to transport our luggage with us during the tour, a bonus that helped us avoid having to take a cab back to the hotel to collect our luggage just to return to Canada Place for our cruise. The weather was great, which made the views of the city wonderful, and we saw totem poles, a cannon that is over 100 years old and still in daily use, and lots of rainforest! My 84-year-old mother-in-law has limited mobility, and was able to enjoy the tour, getting on and off at the stops, and resting when needed.

Loved Granville Island - Okay- the information on the tour was interesting and Stanley Park was beautiful! Granville Island was also fun and we ate at a Mexican Cantina diagonal from the Public Market that was DELICIOUS. BUT! Our guide, Bernie, should NOT have inserted his politics into our tour. He’s not American- and over half the participants were- and frankly, it was unacceptable. We weren’t the only ones offended.
