Small group tour of Vancouver - The guide Mike was very knowledgeable and took us on a 6+ hr tour of various areas of Vancouver. I especially enjoyed the drive around the suburb Shaughnessy and looking at the incredible houses. I had previously been to Stanley Park but still learnt much about the Totem Poles, the history of the park and just appreciated the enormity of the park. I would highly recommend this tour

Great Vancouver Experience - We loved our tour of Vancouver. Our guide, Michael, was exceptionally well prepared and led us on a diverse tour of the city. We covered the natural beauty of Stanley Park and the different neighborhoods of the city including Chinatown and Gastown. He was also knowledgeable of the plants and wildlife of the region. If you want to cover a lot of the city's highlights in a short time (the tour was 6 hrs long) this is a great way to do it.

Great Post Cruise Tour! - Mr Lawrence was easily accessible early on when I initially had a question about our luggage and was helpful! He was on time at the agreed upon location and showed us many locations around Vancouver while sharing interesting information about the flora and fauna. I do wish we had been able to spend a little more time in Granville Island looking around and sampling the food. There is so much to see and do there for first timers! It was a great way to see the city before our late flight home.

All round tour of Vancour - Micheal the owner guide was very knowledgeable, Stanley part of the tour was good. Granville market I think we spend too much time. Gastown other than the steam clock did not think much of it. Chinatown was ok. Olympic village and Yaletown are good. Overall, I did not feel the price value for money. Will I recommend it to anyone no.

the tour that never happen - tour guild called the day before and stated tour had been full and I would be with him only .
had very anger tone and more thought about it cancel the tour. I would not want to be alone in car with anger person. I have paid for private tours up front in countries didn't speak English and felt the person was looking forward to showing me his country. I had book the tour way in advance.
