Perfect ride on a perfect day

Such a great way to see the city if you’re low on time. We had only one day/night in Vancouver and this was the perfect way to relax with a fun bike ride whilst taking in the gorgeous city. Daniel was our guide for our group of 4 and he was excellent! Easy-going but kept us on track, always looking out to make sure everyone was safe. He was fun and kind, and had a great accent. Highly recommend the tour and highly recommend Daniel!
