Great Tour

It was a great way to see Vancouver. Especially if you don’t have a lot of time. Perfect for people who are cruising.

Great tour , but the timing not great

It was a fun little tour around Vancouver . However ! It started at 10 , I understood it was 3.5 hours which should have had us at the port by 1:30. We were stuck in a bunch of downtown traffic and didn’t make it to the port until 2:15 . We were a little concerned as we understood last call boarding was 2:30 . It was scary there for a little bit . I will say Michael did a great job and knows the area well and is a very nice guy . Just the pressed for time part at the end was not necessary .

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.
