Uniformed guide, no real route, often incorrect information. Mainly about social problems and not about history.

The tour guide did not have a high level of English, and had a heavy accent, so I was only able to understand 65% of what she said. It was a 2 hour tour, and after 55 minutes as if we wanted to end the tour or continue to see other things??

We booked the tour for 10am and were given a very specific meeting place. The evening prior we received a request to meet Shima at 930a. We agreed and arrived promptly at 930. After waiting 15 minutes and calling Viator she arrived at 945a with no apology. After reading wonderful reviews about our tour guide, we were very disappointed with her lack of knowledge. Our questions were often answered with “I don’t know”. Having lived in Vancouver for 3 years, I would think she would have more insight into her city. After our tour ended, we looked up information on the places we visited and learned so much more on our own than we did on the tour.
We travel extensively and always begin our visit to a new city with a walking tour. This one was very disappointing.

I’m very disappointed! I was waiting at the location as instructed, I arrived 15 minutes early. Nobody showed up. I messaged the site and was told they tried to contact me. I have no messages. They offered a 3 pm tour but I already have a food tour booked. I asked about a refund, no response so far.

Many highlights, which included our guide Sydney. What a lovely young lady. Pleasant and informative. Other highlights; Granville Mkt, Engine 374, Aquabus, Steam Clock and Chandelier. Highly recommend.

We did this walking tour on our first day and it really helped get our bearings as it covered a lot of the main areas. Our guide, Shima, was very knowledgeable and offered a lot of tips on places to visit during our stay . We had time to also visit the public library, which has a great viewing point on the 9th floor, definitely worth a visit.
