Very enjoyable narrator Tim Main. He gave lots of information with a great sense of humor. He was also able to fit my walker into the front seat so I could use it when we made stops. I only wish we had more time at Granville Island.
Tour lasted a bit longer than described but it was not an issue for anyone. Tour guide was excellent.
Great exposure to the city in a short period of time. Would have liked to know all of the longer options more clearly in advance, but packed in a lot
Tim was a local experienced guide. We learned a lot about Vancouver history landmarks and green initiatives
Driver/guide was very knowledgeable and informative. Tour was just the right the length. Price was very resonable.
Tour guide was great and we were able to see some major highlights of Vancouver in a short amount of time.
Well done and informative and interesting. Tim our guide was great and would highly recommend him for anyone trying to tour Vancouver
Our guide was amazing. She knew so much about the places we went to
So happy we booked with Viator
Thank you
It's a very relaxing tour with narratives about the city along the way. I especially enjoyed Stanley Park.
Jordan was amazing!! He was knowledgable, great accents, timely, funny and a wonderful guide. He by far was the best tour guide we’ve had and would highly recommend him to our friends who travel.
Traffic in Vancouver is awful. We spent almost 6 hours on the bus for the 3 hour tour. The guide was great, and I know she can't control the traffic, but we would have loved to spend more time at the park and the island.
Tour guide very knowledgeable of all areas .
Description put across in a veer humorous way.
Nothing too much trouble for him
Great service and knowledgeable tour guide Brent was excellent and showed us lots of interesting places and information.
Thank you!
Perfect way to see the city. Easy pickup and easy drop off experience. Comfortable bus and informative tour guide.
A snapshot of Vancouver. The guide is knowledgeable and entertaining.
You are on Granville Island for over an hour to walk around which may be too long for some visitors.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared many tips to make this tour more enjoyable. Stanley Park is amazing. Wish we had more time to explore the Park and the market.
Our tour guide Alex was well informed and entertaining which made the tour enjoyable and interesting. This is the best way to see Vancouver when your time in the city is limited.
The guide was a very jovial person and he made sure that we were all engrossed and in high spirits. A must trip.
I had a wonderful time on the Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour, including Granville Island and Stanley Park. It was a great way to explore some of Vancouver’s most beautiful and iconic spots, and the entire experience was enjoyable from beginning to end.
Our tour guide, Alex, was amazing! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour fun and engaging. His knowledge of the city and the information he shared along the way really added to the experience.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver. A fantastic experience!
Tour guide Sam was outstanding! He provided us background on Vancouver and showed us Stanley Park and Granville Island, drove thru Chinatown and Gastown explaining the history behind them. Granville Island is a fun place great food and shopping
Not enough time to eat and explore Granville island totems we're nice .
We were picked up first at 10:00 and dropped off last at 6:00, a very long half day tour. A lot of time on the bus picking up and dropping off guests wit little time seeing the city
The tour was a great overview of the city and its history. The driver was knowledgeable & also a great driver. I really enjoyed it.
Our driver/guide, Tim, was very accommodating, helpful, and personable. He was very enjoyable as he guided and explained things throughout the tour. We were delayed somewhat because of street closures/traffic because of a 5k run being held that day, but our time was extended, and we were able to see/visit all the areas that had been promised.
A quick overview of Vancouver highlights with a very knowledgeable and fun guide. Greg went out of his way to advise us of things to do in our time after the tour, even offered to drop us off.
This tour covered Stanley Park and Granville Island, with the main focus on the City Market. The tour provided a great overview of these two well-known landmarks in Vancouver, but a great of additional info about the city was provided as we were driving from place to place. Heather, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable about the area and clearly loves her job. She also does an outstanding job of maneuvering the van through very tight spots. Great experience all around!
Our tour guide, Michael, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. With a large event happening that caused traffic delays/issues, he still made sure we saw everything the tour offered. We enjoyed the tour and visiting with Michael.
A great way to get your bearings. Granville Island a highlight, as was our guide Jordan, who was both informative and entertaining.
Really nice overview of the city. Loved our guide’s (Greg) insight and knowledge of the area and history. Helped us decide where we wanted to see more.
Great guide, fun tour.
Our guide really knew his stuff.
I highly recommend this tour.
The bus was comfortable.
Guide was pleasant but spent too much time talking about himself and not enough time talking about the city. His knowledge of Stanley Park was excellent; his information about the rest of the city was lacking.
