Vancouver before our cruise

It was a very nice tour of Vancouver then we were going on a cruise to Alaska on Princess Cruises. We saw the highlights and totem poles. Got to Shop and have lunch. We enjoyed it.

This was a good tour if...

This was a good tour if you are short on time and want to see the highlights. It felt a bit rushed and we spent a lot of time waiting to pick up people from a cruise, even though it was a pre-cruise tour for us. The guild was good and informative.

My Vancouver Tour

Our city tour of Vancouver was excellent. The driver and guide was so knowledgeable. Helps to have been born and raised there. I would recommend it to everyone. Or bus connection driver was great as well. Think his name was Larry, he was a veteran

A good pre-cruise transfer/tour option

A simple way to include a cruise transfer with a brief glimpse of the key sights in Vancouver. We enjoyed the stop at Stanley Park and Granville Island - the latter more than initially anticipated but the whole market had a good vibe. Some of the drive-by sights were difficult to see and fully appreciate due to traffic, pace and positioning on coach.

Not really impressed

Tour was rushed to get everyone where they needed to go on time. Our driver/guide was funny and did his best but the tour just wasn’t very interesting, was very rushed and had too many issues with traffic, late arrivals to the bus and those wanting early dropoff at the port.

Super Way to Get to Know Vancouver in 3.5 hours.

Our driver/guide, Greg, was experienced, knowledgeable, entertaining, and just generally fun. We learned a lot, and got to see places in our smaller bus that a full size motor coach would not physically fit. The pickup was exactly on time. The bus was clean and comfortable. We never felt bored or rushed, it was a great pace. The tour length was just right.
