Mitch was fantastic! He showed us around Vancouver in just one day and made sure we got to see all the must-visit spots while keeping the day fun and relaxed. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and easy to get along with. Highly recommend Mitch if you want to experience Vancouver like a local!
We had a great time. Our tour guide Phil was knowledgeable and professional. He got us there safely with door-to-door service. The only suggestion is to make sure you know exactly where the pick-up point is, as they could improve their signage.
Whilst we were in Seattle we decided to visit Vancouver so we booked a day trip. Ryan was our driver and tour guide. He took care of us from start to finish making sure everything went smoothly. Ryan also provided very good information about main places to visit in Vancouver and did make our trip very memorable. Thank you.

We had a wonderful and very professional one-day trip from Seattle to Vancouver, BC. The tour bus was a full-size, very comfortable coach, which made the long journey enjoyable and relaxing. Our tour guide, Chris, was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He made our first trip to Canada truly enjoyable and memorable from beginning to end. Even though the tour lasted about 10 to 11 hours, the time flew by because of the great experience he provided. Thank you, Chris, for making our trip so special! We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun, comfortable, and stress-free visit to Vancouver.
