This was a fun way to see the sights. Our tour guide was full of information and made the tour so enjoyable. Glad we booked it.
We were so happy to have you! Thank you for booking with us, we are so glad you enjoyed your experience.
We had a great time on our Vancouver City Tour with our tour guide Ian. We learned so much about the history and culture of Vancouver, and were able to efficiently see many sites in one day. One of the most impressive parts was the quick access to the Vancouver Lookout- there was a huge line when we arrived, but we were brought straight to the front of the line with no wait- a huge benefit! We appreciated the mix of walking and riding on this tour- we were able to see many sites and walk around to explore on our own, without feeling rushed. The amount of time at each site was just about right.
Thank you for this detailed review, and for booking with us! We are so happy to hear that you had a relaxed and informative visit at each destination, and the Vancouver Lookout.
