Well worth the money, was a great day out and Herman our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and was very helpful. Pick up was prompt and we were dropped back at our hotel. Takes the stress out of visiting these attractions on your own steam.

It is wonderful to know that Herman was so helpful and shared his wealth of knowledge throughout the tour. We truly appreciate you taking the time to recognize his service and hope to welcome you back to explore more of Vancouver.
The driver did not wear a seatbelt and there were no seatbelts for passengers during the tour. The driver needs to wear a seat belt, for the driver's safety as well as the passengers. Bus driver's should wear a seatbelt to keep them securely in the driver's seat so that they maintain control of the vehicle. In the event of a traffic incident, driving at speed, on a bridge, over rivers, on highways. I felt uncomfortable as a passenger in the bus during the tour and thought it was a legal requirement for driver's to wear seatbelts under all circumstances (and ideally passengers). Next time I take a tour, I will be sure to check about seat belts. There have been notable fatalities involving bus accidents in countries around the world so wearing seatbelts should be compulsory for everyone's safety.
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. The safety of our guests and team is extremely important to us, and we take feedback of this nature seriously. We will be sharing your comments regarding the driver's seatbelt with our operations and safety teams for review. We appreciate you taking the time to raise this with us.
