Vancouver City Tour and Lookout - From the pick up at our hotel to the seamless transfer to the tour bus, this was a good experience. The first driver told us about buildings nearby and how the city is changing in the 15 minutes we spent with him, very engaging and energetic. Once we boarded the tour bus, we were greeted by the driver,/guide Anthony who showed us how much he cares about the city. He has an excellent narrative style, informing about the history and also current state of many key areas: Chinatown and Gastown, the port of Vancouver, Stanley Park and Granville Island. An excellent host.

A great introduction to Vancouver! - Our guide Anthony was very informative, and his anecdotes made the tour quite enjoyable. He wanted to be sure that everyone could hear him, and made a point of speaking to as many of the group as possible.

Great tour of Vancouver! - As we toured Vancouver we learned a lot about the areas we visited. The Island and its arts were great. The lookout was fun to see how vast the city is from 40 floors up!
Being picked up and returned to our hotel was awesome! Leslie did a great job.

Relatively Short & Disorganized - Brief tour. Pickup at hotel at 9:15am - 45 minutes before tour begins.
Drive through Stanley Park, visit gift shop for 25 minutes. Around the island and left off at the market for 85 minutes. Late gerring back to bus by 10 minutes and it left without us. Driver never had count of how many were left off in the 1st place. Called office and took cab to meet at Lookout Towef. Up to tower for 15 minutes. Back on bus to hotel dropoff right at 2:30pm. No stops at Chinatown or Gastown.

Hardworking guide - It was ok but a couple of passengers were very unwell and I wonder if it was appropriate to be on the tour. We were delayed as the guide was trying to manage their needs. I felt for Reno having to manage this responsibility and was it right to expect that.

Basic city tour - Communication after booking was great. I received confirmation immediately and follow up emails regarding meeting place and time. The tour guide was pleasant and very accommodating of those guests in the group with mobility issues. However, it was a little hard to understand him over a microphone with his accent. He also pointed out places to eat - although he knew he was dropping us at the airport and we would not be able to stop at any of them. Maybe it was for other guests? I would have liked to have stopped at more landmarks for photos instead of driving past them so quickly or even gotten more information on those sights. The stops we did have felt rushed so maybe more time overall was needed. In general, it was a good tour, just not exceptional.
