HIGHLY Recommend this EPIC tour of Vancouver!!
This was the highlight of our Vancouver visit! Winston was a fabulous tour guide, the bikes were excellent e-bikes, and the weather was perfect for a 25K bike ride around the city. We went to almost all the places we wanted to see and Winston shared the history and stories about each attraction. He definitely added value to the tour! We learned about the "water drop" art statue, the "mermaid girl" in Stanley Park, the real story about the steam clock, why the tankers sit out in the bay, why there is a chandelier hanging from a bridge, and about the people that live in Vancouver. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour of Vancouver!!

Highly Recommend the Viator Vancouver Post-Cruise Tour with Lookout and Capilano Bridge 2026
We did the Viator Vancouver Post-Cruise Tour with Lookout and Capilano Bridge 2026 with Heather Donily. She was excellent! We saw Vancouver port, Vancouver downtown, Chinatown, the Gastown Steam Clock, went up to the Vancouver Lookout, spent time at the Granville Island Public Market, saw statutes and totem poles in Stanley Park, stopped to see Burrard Inlet and Lions Gate bridge, spent about 1 1/2 hous on the Capilano Suspension bridge. It was wonderful and Heather was the perfect tour guide!! We were also able to store our luggage on the bus and get dropped off at the airport at the end of the tour.

Vancouver Highlights and Hidden Gems with Mahin
We had an absolutely wonderful day exploring Vancouver with our fantastic guide, Mahin! From the moment we met, she was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing her beautiful city with us.
Mahin gave us such a memorable introduction to Vancouver, taking us through the colorful sights and flavors of Granville Island, the spectacular natural beauty of Stanley Park, and the historic charm of Gastown. We also loved venturing beyond downtown to explore North and West Vancouver, where she shared even more of the area’s gorgeous scenery and unique character.
One of the things we appreciated most was how relaxed and personalized the day felt. Mahin was attentive to our interests, gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop, and shared fascinating stories and local insights along the way. She even introduced us to a delicious Persian restaurant for lunch, which was an unexpected treat and one of the highlights of our day!
By the end of the tour, we felt like we’d experienced so much more than just Vancouver’s famous sights—we had a real sense of the city and the people who call it home.
Thank you, Mahin, for your warmth, expertise, and wonderful company. You made our first full day in Vancouver truly special, and we would enthusiastically recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional Vancouver tour experience!

Excellent Day Discovering Vancouver
We got an amazing view of the highlights of the City with Mike ! His vast knowledge of the city and extensive overview of the major attractions were just what we needed as newcomers.The tour started with a thorough begiining visit to Stanley Park including the important history and beauty which highlighted what i believe is the jewel of Vancouver, B.C. Further, his insight into the architecture, restuarants, and key "off the beaten path" points of interest made for a memorable day! I highly recommend this for those new to the city.

Excellent Vancouver Tour with Voytek
We are spending only a couple of days in Vancouver, so we wanted to maximize our time and see as much as possible by taking this tour. It was the perfect choice. Our guide, Voytek, was fantastic! We had an exceptional experience. He is so knowledgeable, accommodating and personable. We completely enjoyed our day with him and we saw and learned so much! He took us to a number of beautiful view spots and drove us through Stanley Park, with various stops along the way. He showed us all the Vancouver neighborhoods with detailed explanations on their histories and cultures. He gave us great suggestions for restaurants and things to do. We 100% recommend this tour with Voytek! You will not be disappointed.

Amazing tour for outside of Vancouver
This was a very fun filled day! Heather was our tour guide and her knowledge and facts made the trip even better. Prior to each stop she explained what order she would recommend for us to do it in, in order to maximize our time and it was perfect! The tour bus was very comfortable and clean and it was great to not have to worry about how to drive or park at each place!

Amazing day on the water with Orcas and Humpbacks
Sophie (our naturalist) and Jacob (our captain) were amazing and we saw a breaching humpback whale, 2 other whales, a bunch of sea lions and then finished with watching a pod of Orcas chase something. This was more than we could have expected. The boat was comfortable, the information was just the right amount and they answered our questions. We did have our original time canceled due to bad weather but they got us in the next day. Our 4 boys aged 13-23 all loved it. We can not recommend this enough.

Knowledgeable tour guide and beautiful views
Kevin was amazing, and gave us a great tour and details of Vancouver. My boys had a blast at the rope bridge and enjoyed the otter balls. It’s amazing how someone built that whole setup in the trees. We went on a rainy day, so was tough to see much off Grouse mountain. But, the bears were right next to the fence and restaurant had a great view of valley and lake below. Would definitely recommend as an intro to city and highlight that you don’t get to see most places.

Good walking tour
Very thorough discussion on stops. Would like an opportunity to take a break to get coffee or water. Would also suggest stopping to talk near somewhere that people can sit. The walking isn’t too much but the standing is hard. Our guide Monika was very kind and knowledgeable.

One of the best tours I've done
The seaplane to Victoria was amazing with awesome views over the gulf islands - plenty of photo opportunities. Smooth take off and landing - well done to the pilots. Victoria is an interesting town and there was plenty of opportunity to explore. Walking was easy and I covered a big area and saw the main attractions in the time allotted. A map and instructions where to meet the bus was provided. The ferry ride back to Vancouver was calm and clear. It gave a different view of the islands and more photo opportunities. Overall, the trip was well organised, efficiently run and operated. I highly recommend.

Highlights of Vancouver
Gaby was a fantastic tour guide on our private tour! - I think we hit every landmark with Gaby providing insight and history in each section of town. Our favorites were Granville Island, Stanley Park, and Gastown. Gaby comes up with an itinerary based on what you want to see. Since we did not know Vancouver at all she hit all the highlights. We stopped for an hour lunch at Granville Island which was perfect. Not only was Gaby knowledgeable, but friendly and personable as well. We couldn't have asked for anything more! Highly recommended.

Awesome tour guide!
This tour was amazing. The coordination between the airline and the boats was seamless. The guide, Shannon, was excellent. We had some fog here and there and she never blinked. She knows the waters. She explained everything si completely and clearly. She was in communication with other guides so we did not miss the pod of orcas passing through. Can't say enough about her. Also the tour company was so helpful. I had an issue with my husband health and reached out. Regina immediately got back to me and her assistance was invaluable to us. We highly recommend this tour company.
