Lovely day tour

It was a lively experience, we were in a mini bus with Joel and Mo. Joel, our tour guide was jolly, informative with a good sense of humor. We had a pleasant day, with seamless transitions on BC Ferry. The tour provided water bottles and umbrellas which was really helpful with rain that day.

Vancouver to Whistler Seaplane Day Trip: Self-Guided Adventure

SUSAN_L, Oct 2025

Sea plane adventure

This was an amazing sea plane experience that I would highly recommend. The check in at the Harbour Air Terminal was easy. As passengers we got complimentary drinks. We could have had a light breakfast, such as a muffin. The views during the flight were spectacular and the take off and landing were extremely smooth. A shuttle was provided to and from Whistler to the Green Lake where the sea plane was based for the day. It was interesting to see Whistler but our main purpose was to experience a sea plane flight. Great trip.

Excellent time with Steve

Vancouver and Capilano Suspension Bridge, a Soft Adventure Tour

John_P, Sept 2025

Great value for the money and top notch tour guide!

Dom (bus driver) and Joe did an exemplary job with this tour. The bus was new and clean (although there was a really bad squeaking sound coming from the windows) and Dom navigated smoothly to all the spots mentioned in the tour information. Joe was top notch explaining all the sites by providing the history as well as some local information. He's lived in the Vancouver area all his life and it clearly shows in his expertise and knowledge. The only thing I would change is the amount of time spent at the Capilano Bridge. Other than crossing the bridge and seeing some things on the other side there is not much else here other than some eating establishments and the usual tourist spots. We liked the tour and felt like we go our money was well spent for the length of time of the tour. Highly recommend this tour if you want to see the major sites in the area and get firsthand commentary!!!

Stanley Park & Vancouver City Highlights 4 Hour Bike Tour 2 in 1

Pat_F, Jul 2025

Great way to experience the city of Vancouver!

Our guide, Lorena, expertly guided us all over the city! She was so knowledgeable about the history as well as current happenings. We hit all the hotspots, including gorgeous Stanley Park! We even took our bikes on a small ferry bus across the river to Granville Island, and enjoyed the big Public Market and other shops. It’s a fun, non-strenuous pedal around the city. Book it, you’ll love it!

Vancouver Stanley Park 3 Hour Bike Tour

Beatriz_G, Jul 2025

Fun tour with great views

I had a blast doing the Stanley bike tour. Ondrej was our guide and he did very well even when a nasty old lady at the park decided to harass our group. Ondrej remained very professional and handled it well. He apologized to the group which he didn't need to do since he wasn't at fault and made sure that the incident didn't affect the remainder of the tour. It was great to see the different areas of Stanley park and go through the trails. The other people in the group were all friendly and we had a nice time chatting and going around. Definitely recommend for those travelling alone.

Vancouver City Tour with Admission to Lookout Tower

Jean_B, Jul 2025

Great View of Vancouver!

We had never been to Vancouver before. This tour allowed us to get to know the city and some of its history. Our tour guide Bernie was excellent in making this possible. The views of the water were breathtaking. Stanley Park is a place you wish you could spend hours. The architecture of the city is very unique and “playful” as one noted visitor described it. The Lookout Tower gave an amazing view of the city. Granville Island was filled with a farmer’s market where I saw fruits I had never seen before. Plus there were unique shops and a type of food court. You could eat outside by the water or eat where a busker played music. My husband and I were very glad that we went on this tour.

Vancouver City and Nature Waterfront Sightseeing Boat Tour

Curtis_M, Jul 2025

Enjoyable

What an enjoyable experience? Yas (Yasmin) made this so much more enjoyable. I did this last year and brought my family to come and do the zodiac trip this time around. We all agree that Yas made this trip so special not only by her knowledge but the way she went about sharing information. She seemed so extremely happy doing what she was doing and that came out very strongly and made us feel so comfortable. Not to miss trip and if you get Yas it would be even better!!!
