Begin your morning or afternoon biking adventure in downtown Vancouver at the bike rental shop, where you meet your friendly guide. After a quick safety briefing and a bike and helmet fitting, set off on an invigorating nature ride through Stanley Park, a 1,000-acre (405-hectare) city oasis. This park trail and bike-lane circuit is perfect for any level of rider.
Enjoy picturesque urban and pastoral views as your guide takes you into Stanley Park and along the perimeter seawall over the course of the tour. Bounded by water on three sides, Stanley Park offers great views of Burrard Inlet, the North Shore Mountains, and the Vancouver skyline. As you ride, stop to snap photos and hear fascinating stories about Vancouver’s colorful history as a logging town.
Catch chance sightings of resident herons, river otters and bald eagles—maybe even spot one of the 15 bald eagle nests in the park. Learn about the lagoon’s transformation from a tidal flat to a bio-filtration marsh, and pedal on to Brockton Point to view the amazing First Nations totems poles—a must-do for all native history enthusiasts.
Afterwards, cycle through the park’s wooded trails to explore a temperate rain forest, and to view Beaver Lake and the park’s famous 700-year-old cedar tree. Your final stop is Third Beach, a secluded city retreat on Ferguson Point. Enjoy some quiet time on the beach before heading back to town.

Great way to see Vancouver and learn some history and interesting facts! Zach was an excellent tour guide! We took multiple stops/breaks along the way to sight-see and learn something new. From the beach, to the Seawall, to Stanley Park - it was about an 8-9 mile ride and is probably good if you've at least biked a little before. Wouldn't have started off my Vancouver visit any other way!

It was 3hrs well spent, very easy enjoyable cycling through parts of the city and Stanley Park, places we would not have found our own. Taiga was an excellent guide, very gentle and friendly and saw that we had bikes and accessories to suit. His passion for the history and wildlife of the area was evident and he helped give us an unmissable view of Vancouver. Thank you!
Excellent experience. Fairly flat terrain so not too physically challenging. Most of the cycling is in dedicated cycle lanes so very safe. Great cycle around Stanley Park and our guide Rikesh was a lovely guy with great knowledge. Would definitely recommend.
Great bike tour of Stanley Park!! Rikesh
was an excellent guide and very mindful of his group. He stopped just right amount of times and very informative at each stop on different points of interest. Beautiful ride !!
It was wonderful. The only thing that would have been better is if my husband and I got electric bikes because everyone on our tour had them but us. It was hard to keep up.
Be prepared for a longer afternoon of riding. However, the majority of it is flat and you stop a lot for points of interest. You will walk your bike part of the way through the park to see Beaver Creek as well. It was a great afternoon and Taiga was the best guide. He was patient, attentive, humorous and well informed on facts and history of the areas. Ask for him if you can make a request for a guide.
Fun, knowledgeable guides, great scenic route, safe and easy bikes. It was a terrific was to see the Park!
Very informative tour. Lots of fun! Not a difficult bike ride so good for families. Jake was a great tour guide. Good bikes. Just a lot of fun. We recommend it!
We were a bit apprehensive about taking our 9 year old on his first bike tour, but this was the right one for us. Our guide, Germán, was confident and put us right at ease. They kept our group small and he made sure we never got separated. Germán let us know what to expect along the way and even took pictures for us at scenic spots! City Cycle was the right way to go for our family’s first (of many) bike tour together.
Fun, informative tour & pretty easy biking.
Rakesh was our guide & he was really great...he shared a lot of interesting info at
Various stops along the way.
Half the ride is along the sea wall and places of interest (I now know where to find the best hot dogs in Vancouver) before you enter Stanley Park.
Tiaga is an exceptional leader/guide. He was knowledgeable about the cultural history plus he could explain the science happening under the great trees. He was great with the kids and he made sure everyone had a great and SAFE time.
Easy bike ride near the water and through Stanley Park! Linnea was a terrific guide. Straightforward quick descriptions of the sights along the way. Thoughtful and friendly!
It was fun , educational and not tiring. The company and Greg A took good care of us. The weather cooperated as we got no rain.
Great bike ride. See so much of Vancouver and heard a bit of history along the way . Shout out to Harris who was a great guide.
Great bicycle tour. The tour leader was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Overall great experience.
Zack, our guide was very personable and knowledgeable about history and wildlife. Cycle City and Zack gave us a close look at Vancouver city and Stanley Park in one afternoon having fun cycling.
A great introduction to Stanley Park and the city waterfront area. It was an easy ride with informative and engaging commentary by German.
Wonderful guided trip on bikes down to the sea wall and through Stanley Park and ending at Canada Place. Our guide Lannia was wonderful, informative, safety conscious and made the whole experience a great adventure. Frequent stops allow for standing and stretching. We ranged in age from 18 to 70 and we all thought this was the best of our guided tours in Vancouver guided tours!
Had a great time with Linnea as our guide, knowledgeable about the area and the city!! The tour was easy to navigate🤜🏽
Fun and interesting bike tour around beautiful Stanley Park. There are a few times when you are riding up small hills and some where you need to dismount and walk the bike. Our guide, Blair, was knowledgeable and patient. One person on our tour fell off his bike twice and another person wasn’t physically prepared for needing to walk their bike part of the way and to stand while we listened to some information, but Blair handled these situations professionally and kindly. Overall the tour was worth the money and time and was provided as advertised.
Great way to see Stanley Park. Highly recommend. Good for all skill levels as well. Most rode regular bikes. But some rode electric ones.
Linnea expertly guided us around Stanley Park with an eye to our safety, while sharing just the right amount of local knowledge and history at each stop along our 3-hour ride. Friendly and personable, with a ready smile and warmth, she provided an outstanding introduction to the first morning of our family trip to Vancouver.
Loved this experience! Stanley Park is so big, and this was a great way to see so much of the park. Heidi was our tour guide and she was great! We got lucky with really nice weather and no rain.
Mariel gave us a wonderful tour of Vancouver! This is a great option the morning before boarding a cruise. We were able to see alot of the city and stanley park before we set sail. She did a great job of supplying some great facts and history of the city. The pace was great. The city is made for cycling. Felt safe the whole time. My whole family enjoyed it!
This is a very nice, mostly easy bicycle tour. Our guide, Liam was great; we learned a lot about Vancouver and Stanley park. Fairly often we stopped for reviewing various interesting locations and views, which in turn also made the ride easier. My slight concern is that I expected a nature ride, but we spent about half the time on city streets. Granted, Vancouver is quite bicycle friendly, but still.
Fantastic tour a very worthy 3hr experience. - we did Stanley Oark. We are a couple in our 50/60s & overweight & unfit
We hired e-bikes and we throughly enjoyed ourselves . A few stops on the way round - guide informative & picture stops. Staff in shop very helpful ‘ friendly . So even if you like us and haven’t been on a bike for years - give it a go .
Easy bike ride. Plenty of stops. Great information on the city and the park. Taiga was a fabulous guide. He really made the trip fun and entertaining while keeping everyone safe.
A wonderful 3 hours pedaling around the sites of Vancouver.The tour's leader Tryau was an excellent guide, he was informative, kind and always there to answer our questions . Thankyou Cycle City.
Jake was a wonderful tour guide and his extensive knowledge really made this trip special. We loved seeing the totem poles, biking past all the flowers, and looking at the old growth forests in Stanley Park. We would've loved to stop in the field of yellow flowers for a photo, and encourage everyone to arrive early or at least on time for the trip. Our trip went over by an hour since another family in the group was very late, which was unfortunate.
Easy getting around due to separation of bike lanes. Really enjoyed learning about Vancouver history as we travelled through the park.
This was such a great day. We could not have asked for better weather and Rikesh did a fantastic job of guiding us and keeping things fun. I highly recommend!
