Amazing tour guide

An absolutely amazing Chinatown tour ! Felt like a well curated walk with a knowledgeable friend who truly wanted to share his personal favorite places in Chinatown. Everything we ate and discussed was also placed in the perfect historical context. The pace of the walk was perfect with the right amount of delicious food ! Thank you Bob !

Shore Excursion: Pre-Cruise Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour with Port Drop Off

John_W, Oct 2025

Super Way to Get to Know Vancouver in 3.5 hours.

Our driver/guide, Greg, was experienced, knowledgeable, entertaining, and just generally fun. We learned a lot, and got to see places in our smaller bus that a full size motor coach would not physically fit. The pickup was exactly on time. The bus was clean and comfortable. We never felt bored or rushed, it was a great pace. The tour length was just right.

First day in Vancouver

Took this tour on our first day in Vancouver to learn a bit about the city and get oriented via landmarks and neighborhoods. Our guide, Fiorella, was very nice and knowledgeable. She took time to answer questions and made the tour very interactive, while still hitting all the points we expected.

Good way to do Vancouver in an afternoon

Really great way to see the city, particularly on a sunny day. Our guide was Chi and she was amazing - very knowledgeable with a sparkling personality and really cared that each member of the group enjoyed the experience. The cycling was easygoing and we pushed the bikes up the steeper bits. Saw lots of different parts of the city.

Grand City Small Group Tour of Vancouver

It's a yes!

This tour was perfect! It hit all the highlights without a lot of extraneous on and off the bus. The duration was just long enough to not feel rushed, and short enough to keep your interest. Michael was a great guide and offered lots of interesting information about all of Vancouver, even if it was just a drive by stop. He was very friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. The inclusion of references to his experiences living and working in the area added to the enjoyment. I wish we had had more time to shop at Granville, but not a reason to take "points" away from the overall experience.

Vancouver: Gastown Food Tour with 6 Authentic Local Food Tastings

Amazing, Informative Tour

Amazing! Love the tour and learned a lot about the history of Vancouver (which we didn't expect but really enjoyed). A tip for others who take this tour - go when you first begin your trip! We did this on our last day and wish we had gone sooner to be able to appreciate all the great recommendations around town.

Vancouver Guided City Tour & Lookout Observation Deck Admission

Greg was great!

Greg was a great tour guide, he was funny and informative about the places we went to. We drove by Downtown Vancouver, BC Place and Rogers Arena. Was a shame the heavens opened and it rained for a good 30mins while we drove by these places (but also happy we weren’t caught in the rain!). Next stop was Stanley Park where we were given time to see the Totem Poles. The tide was very low but still an amazing view to see Vancouver city. Next we drove to Granville Island where we had 2 hours to go around, eat, listen to the singers etc. Last stop was Vancouver Lookout overlooking the city 360 degree view. (Sadly Gastown was closed off to cars. On Sunday they open the road to pedestrians so top tip! - don’t book this tour on a Sunday!) but if you do it’s not the end of world, you can finish your tour at the Vancouver Lookout and walk down the road turn right on to Water Street and the famous Gastown Steam Clock is right there!

Vancouver Sightseeing and Suspension Bridge Small Group Tour

Fantastic Tour — Highly Recommended!

We had an amazing experience on the Small Group Tour of Vancouver and Capilano Suspension Bridge! The entire tour was well organized, and we were able to see so many of Vancouver’s top highlights in a comfortable and relaxed way. We actually booked last minute, and we’re so glad we did — everything was seamless from start to finish. Our guide was excellent — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the city. He shared great stories, interesting facts, and made sure everyone felt included. Capilano Suspension Bridge was absolutely breathtaking, and we had plenty of time to explore and take photos. We also loved the stops around the city — everything from Stanley Park to Granville Island was beautiful and well timed. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Vancouver. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

Fraser Valley Wine Tour from Vancouver with a Light Lunch

Amanda_w, May 2025

Great day out - glad we went

Tim communicated the plan for the day and made clear the pros and cons of each location so we knew why the particular winery was selected eg some for diversity of wine others for the wine and scenery. Tim was also able to provide informative commentary as we travelled and the detailed responses to questions about the area and the wines being tasted. The group had a good time and never felt rushed. The wineries supported those with specific preferences eg all white or red and white. All 3 Australians on our tour were surprised by the Riesling which we expected to be too fruity. It was of course fruity but well balanced and very enjoyable - I’ve now got to manage getting it home in my suitcase!

Loved getting out of the city for the day

Tim was awesome guide not only knowledgeable and Passionate, but just a great easy going guy. My husband was sick, so had to go solo but made some great conversations from all places 🙏 this was my third booking made through Viator 🙌🙌even using them over shore excursions on our cruise was more Affordable and felt more personalised on a smaller group settings. Would highly recommend this Tour, Viator and Tim the Craft Man 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
