What are people saying about Vancouver

Jean_C, Feb 2026

Vancouver is a beautiful city with lots to offer

It is a walking tour around downtown Vancouver, mostly level with only a few steep places (hill and steps). It might be a bit too much for anyone with mobility issues. The guide led the group with a good pace, not too fast. Each stop was timed just right for a break. The city’s landmarks chosen for this tour were varied, covering history and present day information about Vancouver, from sports, business, culture and arts, early settlement, well-known individuals that helped shape the city that it is today. It was the perfect introduction… Our guide suggested what all there was to see and do, which was very helpful. I highly recommend doing this tour to start one’s Vancouver adventure.

We had a wonderful...

We had a wonderful experience and really learned so much while on a short tour. I was nervous to have young kids along and everything ended up going well. We especially loved our time at Granville Island but were happy to be able to see so much of the city at once.

Capilano Suspension Bridge + Grouse Mountain Tour

A terrific tour! I wish...

A terrific tour! I wish I could give the tour a higher rating, Our tour guide, Derek was exceptional. Derek prepped the participants on the way to each destination. He explained what to expect, where to go, and when to regroup. The tour was a great way to explore Vancouver.

Snorkel, Kayak, and Seal Adventure: Vancouver Boat Tour

Celine_B, Sep 2025

Amazing experience!

Amazing experience! We went out on the boat on a sunny day. Stopped at two different seal colonies. The guides were very respectful and showed us how to behave in the water. Not too close to the seals with a good distance and they might come to us by curiosity. Some were curious and played with our fins whilst some of them just swam in the water. It was amazing to see them in their natural habitat. Snacks were provided as well and the guides answered all the questions we had. It really was an amazing experience

Vancouver to Victoria Seaplane Adventure & Return via Bus & Ferry

David_C, Sep 2025

Vancouver Island Victoria Experience.

It was quite a long day but thoroughly enjoyed it. Loved the seaplan ride with Harbour Air. They were all very friendly and helpful. Victoria is a beautiful place. Lots to see and do. Plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants. We enjoyed the hop on and off bus trip. The ferry ride back was lovely with some stunning scenery passing all those islands and islets.

Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver

David_R, Sep 2025

Great Trip

This is a fun and easy day out. Two good tourist attractions, with plenty of time to enjoy what they have yo offer. You can visit both using a free shuttle from Canada Place but i would still recommend this trip, its well paced, good value and Leslie our guide was fantastic. The extra bits (vising the Salmon Hatchery, dam and bridge), along with the commentary and guidance are well worth the money.

Vancouver Sunset Whale Watching Adventure with Free Photos

Wales and more

Returned to Vancouver from a cruise and was running slightly late due to a bad experience with a hop on hop off bus. I sent a message and they called me back and had my tickets ready. They advised they would be leaving at 1600 sharp. We made it right on time and I even got a second call while I was talking with them to determine exactly what building we needed to check into. We made it just in time. I definitely appreciate the follow up and assistance to get there! The boat is mostly covered but has some great open viewing areas. The wildlife experts were very helpful in identifying and helping point out the sightings. After about an hour boat ride we arrived and were immediately seeing the first whale. We watched that whale for about 20 minutes with 5-6 separate encounters. We then drove a few minutes to view a mother and pup group of whales. We followed this group for about 30 minutes with a dozen or more encounters. Then we drove between some islands and found an adult bald eagle and a juvenile bald eagle. Lastly before heading back to dock we went reef are and saw several large groups of seals and sea lions. Great experience and would definitely recommend!

Randal_F, Aug 2025

Wonderful Tour!

Byron was a wonderful tour guide! He was very knowledgeable of the history and development of Vancouver along with surrounding areas. There was ample time at each stop. We even got out to see the Gas Clock! Byron was able to adjust the schedule and avoid the heavy crowds. Would definitely recommend!

Vancouver Sightseeing and Suspension Bridge Small Group Tour

Todd_B, Jun 2025

Start here on your visit to Vancouver…

Tour of Vancouver was very informative! Histories of different buildings, peoples, and events were expertly delivered. Time in Stanley Park alone made us want to revisit Vancouver. Beautiful. Suspension bridge, tree tops, and cliff walk were heart pounding and amazing! Finishing at Granville Island Market was relaxing and delicious. We’ve set our agenda for our next trip to Vancouver based Lucio’s recommendations alone. He. Was. Awesome!

Kim our guide showed us all the beautiful sites in Vancouver. She showed us beautiful architectural gems, we got to navigate the city in local transportation and got to see a different perspective of the city. She’s wonderful, has a great personality and you will feel like spending a day with an old friend. I would highly recommend her. Thanks.
