Informative Walking Tour
Good information. Not too much walking. Didn’t cover much ground in 3 hours, but got good insights into the history of Vancouver.
P
Enjoyable tour but large group
An enjoyable tour covering interesting points of the city. Good for orientation. The guide was easy to listen to, engaging and knowledgeable. The group was a little large at around 30 people. Overall worth doing 👍
J
It gives you a good...
It gives you a good overview of the downtown core but it does not go into any extensive history of the various sites visited. Just very general information.

Well Worth It !
This tour had a lot of interesting facts and insights about not only the history of Vancouver but also the current culture of the city. Our guide Jon did an outstanding job of showing us the city along with his entertaining commentary.

Vancouver walking tour
The tour guide Vladimir was friendly enough but suggested a $30 tip when this was supposed to be based on how well the guide was performing. More often than not he was just time filling we weren’t moving on quick enough. He was talking about football players that we had no idea who they were. We left the tour after 30 minutes just to give you a bit of feedback.
