Top Vancouver Half-day Tours

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.

Fantastic trip! The seaplane across to Victoria was amazing and meant we could make the most of our time there. There's not a lot to do in Victoria itself - plenty of shops but the museums are small and some were closed when we went. However, the architecture and history is interesting. Came back by coach/ferry so a trip through the islands with the setting sun. Everything was well planned, communication was good and I'd certainly recommend this trip to catch a flavour of Victoria if you don't have a lot of time to spend on the island.

This was an excellent overview of the city of Vancouver. Best taken at the start of your visit to get the lie of the land and to put the city as a whole into context. The best thing was going over The Lion Bridge to suburbs beyond where people really do live, rather than just the tourist sites. Hamed was very friendly and happy to answer all our questions, of which I had many.

The staff are incredibly nice and knowledgeable. We chose this company due to only having about 10 people minus crew, which made it more personable and easier to see. Going to the site to see whales was very rough at times. Thats just mother nature, but do be prepared. We only saw one humpback whale, but again, that's mother nature and nothing the company has control of. We did see a few porpoises and a small island with sea lions. All in all, it was a great experience!

One of the best experiences of my whole life!! The trip from Vancouver to Victoria with the seaplane was awesome!! And the whales watching with Shanon was incredible. We could see humb whales around, and we enjoyed the experience very much. I recomend it to everybody!!!!! Thank you!

Loved having Michael, a knowledgeable local, retired chef as our guide. We tried items from 10 different vendors & covered quite a bit of ground around the public market. This tour takes the overwhelm out of visiting a market of this size. Everything about booking guided tours through Viator has been top notch - on time & well taken care of throughout.

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.

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!
