Vancouver City Tour, Lookout Deck, & Optional Airport Transfer

Awesome trip we learned a lot.

Vancouver Tour with Sisterhood travels group was fantastic. Our tour guide, Larson, was so knowledgeable and friendly.

This was a good tour with an experienced driver who doubled as the guide. It was a stressful start because we were given the wrong information by the Tour Operator about which lobby of the hotel to be picked up at. In the initial email we were instructed to go to the lower lobby level on Alberni and I even emailed to verify the pick up location a few days before the tour. We arrived at 9:20 for the 9:30 pickup. At 9:45 we started calling when we hadn’t been picked up. Apparently the mini bus is too big to pick up on the lower level but they didn’t tell us about the change & they didn’t go to the lower lobby to retrieve us so they had to come back to pick us up. In the end we were picked up about 10am in the upper lobby. The hotel staff at the Hyatt Downtown Alberni was fantastic & came down to the lower lobby to let us know when the driver showed up at the upper lobby. it was a stressful start to the tour but once we got picked up the tour went well. We received a good overview of Stanley Park dropping off at the Totems for a little free time & restrooms were available there. I had read there would be an optional walking tour at this stop but that was not offered. Next we finished driving through the park where the oldest trees were pointed out & we had nice views over the sea wall & then along scenic English Bay. Then we drove to Granville Island Public Market where we had a brief orientation & were given plenty of time for lunch & walking around. We next drove through Chinatown but did not see the Chinese Garden, We also drove through Gastown & the driver pointed out the steam clock & I was able to get a picture from the bus window. Next we were dropped off at the Lookout where we were escorted ta a fast elevator that took us to the top for great views a little free time. The tour was over at 2:30 & we chose to get dropped off at Canada Place because there is a free shuttle from there to Capilano Suspension Bridge Park which was our next destination for the day. The driver pointed out where that shuttle picks up & told us about a food court on the lower level of the Convention Center where we could grab a bite & use the rest rooms. It was a well organized tour to be able to see so many city highlights in 4.5 hours, especially considering the traffic in Vancouver. Kudos to the driver. There were only about 10 people on our tour on a Thursday in mid July. The minibus looked like it would hold atleast 20 people.

Larsen was a fantastic guide and we learned so much in the 4 hours of this tour! We wished we had more time to explore Granville Island but really enjoyed that part of the tour. Same with Stanley Park (where we saw the totems) and also the Vancouver Lookout. We hope to be back again🤞

Phenomenal post-cruise excursion…picked up directly from the cruise terminal, included luggage storage, and after hitting all the highlights of the city (including stops at the Stanley Park totem poles and an extended lunch break at the amazing Granville Island Public Market), we were dropped off right at the Vancouver Airport. Perfect way to see the highlights of Vancouver while heading back home after the cruise. Can’t say enough good things about Larson, our guide. He was funny and incredibly open about weaving his experiences as a lifelong Vancouver resident into the tour. One of the highlights of our entire trip!

Larson the tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! He did a great job explaining the history of all the sites on the tour. Highly recommend this tour!

Guide Leslie was extremely knowledgeable and so gracious. His narration was very informative - he was great. Wonderful tour with a lot packed in.

Our tour guide was Ed. He was very informative about the Vancouver sights and history. We enjoyed the tour and it was a good use of time on our departure day.

We just finished a great city tour with Leslie Mildiner. Awesome stops at Stanley Park, Grandville island, the tower, gas district etc. Our guide was so knowledgeable. PA system was clear and his voice was clear...very enjoyable.

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.
