I wish we could have learned something about Vancouver

Caryl_W, Jun 2026

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

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Our goal is to provide an engaging and balanced experience that combines history, culture, and local perspectives.

Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue improving the experience for future guests. Have a nice day!

Could not understand the tour guide

Scott_I, Jun 2026

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??

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Scott, Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for joining our tour. The tour was conducted and included the planned points of interest. Our guides strive to create an interactive experience and adapt the pace of the tour to the interests and preferences of participants whenever possible. We value all guest feedback and will continue working to provide enjoyable experiences for visitors from around the world. Thank you again for joining us. Have a nice day!

Very disappointed

Ellen_D, Jun 2026

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.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Ellen, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. Our guide adjusted the meeting time in an effort to accommodate the tour schedule and arrived shortly thereafter. We regret any inconvenience caused by the wait. We also appreciate your comments regarding the guiding experience. We strive to provide engaging and informative tours, and we will share your feedback with our team as part of our ongoing efforts to improve. Have a nice day! Manuel

No show

Carolynn_B, May 2026

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.

Saw so much with our wonderful guide Sydney

David_M, May 2026

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.

Great introduction to Vancouver

Joanne_M, Apr 2026

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.
