Relaxing and informative ride - Jeremy was an amazing tour guide! I highly recommend going through the park. Jeremy knew the history of the areas as well as much about the First Nations and the importance of them to the area.

Just do this tour! - So much to recommend on this brilliant bike tour which was the highlight of our visit. The tour was amazingly informative and it felt that it took us off the usual tourist track. Jeremy gave us a local’s insight into this beautiful city. His excellent historical and background knowledge and a perfectly paced ride made for a great afternoon. Can not recommend highly enough.

Historical Bike Tour with Jeremy - The afternoon bike tour with Jeremy was fantastic! Bikes were excellent, really easy to ride. Jeremy has been an excellent guide, he showed us so much and we learnt a great deal about Vancouver. Lots and lots of interesting historical facts and engaging stories. Honestly, one of the best bike tours I have ever had.
My son (13 years old) enjoyed it too and it was his first experience of biking in a city. Jeremy kept a close eye on him and made an effort to engage with him.
I highly recommended the tour.
Thank you again Jeremy for a fab experience.

Excellent bike tour - We had a great afternoon with Jeremy. Our family of five enjoyed the ride with Jeremy. He has lots of interesting stories to tell. We gained a much richer understanding of Vancouver, its history and culture. Jeremy is a friendly guy with a good sense of humor. Also managed to actively engage our teenage boys. We take bike tours regularly, and this was definitely one of the best we have ever had. I would highly recommend this tour.

Worth every penny - My husband and I had some time to kill from when our cruise arrived in port to when our flight left so we decided to book a bike tour. It was fantastic and ended up becoming one of the highlights of our entire trip. Jeremy was kind, down to earth, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city. He showed us parts of the city we never would have had the opportunity to see without his tour and he is a large reason why I left deciding I really love Vancouver. If you are in the area, this is a must do tour!

A perfect tour - The bikes were perfect, the weather was nice, but most of all we appreciated our guide, Jeremy Catherall, a perfect guide knowing the history and the surroundings of Vancouver as well as a lot of other topics we talked about. A perfect story teller, a perfect teacher. We fell in love with Vancouver and surely intend to visit again.
