It’s really a transfer to the airport with a ride around the city. Very little time off the bus and gets you to the airport in plenty of time for your flight. Around 4.5 hours for an evening flight back to London. Steve, the driver guide was excellent though.
A pleasant 5 hour guided tour with Leslie keeping us well informed. Busy city roads driven safely to all scenic places along the way.

We only had a two night stop in Vancouver before embarking on an Alaskan cruise. We decided to take this tour to get an insight to what Vancouver had to offer. The tour ticked the boxes and was greatly helped by our tour guide and driver Steve. He had a friendly approachable manner and excellent knowledge which made the tour extremely interesting. Thoroughly recommended.

This tour was an excellent experience due to our tour guide, Leslie Mildiner. We had our tour on the same day as the city marathon, which made it extra difficult for our bus to navigate the city. Leslie showed a great deal of patience and determination when trying to give us the best experience possible. It was really challenging for him to get us to Granville Island, but we made it! He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the history of Vancouver and well-versed in a wide range of topics. He also had a great sense of humor. It was a very pleasant experience, and I would highly recommend this tour.
Thank you for the review! Leslie is an exceptional guide and it’s wonderful to hear how he handled a challenging day with such patience and professionalism. City events can make routing more complex, but we’re so glad Leslie was able to navigate everything smoothly while still delivering an engaging and enjoyable experience. His knowledge and sense of humour truly make a difference. We really appreciate your recommendation and are so glad you had a pleasant tour!
