A comprehensive view of Vancouver without overkill. We saw outlying neighborhoods and unique communities within the main city. Our guide Ben was great. He gave us interesting information about the neighborhoods and history without overwhelming us. Quiet travel time between areas was relaxing and gave us time to enjoy the beautiful terrain in between destinations. I highly recommend.

First Class Tour

Caroline_T, Jul 2026
This tour is an excellent experience and enabled us to see the whole of Vancouver from the comfort of the vehicle. Navid had perfect knowledge of Vancouver and it was a pleasure. We were with our 3 teenage children who thoroughly enjoyed it. Highly recommended.

Exceeded expectations! Book this tour.

Cindy_W, Jul 2026
As a first timer to Vancouver after a cruise, I booked this private tour to see as much of the area as possible in several hours. This tour exceeded our expectations and made the transfer from the cruise ship to sight seeing, a stop for lunch and to the hotel all with the ease of keeping our luggage with us. Thank you to Mahin the local Vancouver resident and tour guide for a fun day of seeing and hear Mg about various neighborhoods, scenic overlooks, and iconic landmarks of the area. She was kind and was able to be flexible to adjust the itinerary to what was important to us. On top of all that she offered to take our photos at several stops. Be sure to request Mahin for your tour.

Miller Family Tour

Our family had 6 hours to kill while in Vancouver waiting for an early evening flight. Viator offered a very comprehensive guided tour of all aspects of the city.

We had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Benyamin, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time!

Great!

Savanna_G, Jul 2026
This was a very comprehensive and helpful tour! We appreciated seeing so much of Vancouver since we only had one evening there before a cruise. Our driver was Navid, and he did a fantastic job ensuring our safety, narrating what we were seeing, and optimizing photo opportunities. I would book this tour company again.

I Love Vancouver

Marietta_D, Jul 2026
We had an exceptional tour of Vancouver, and our guide, Abtin, made the experience truly unforgettable. He is knowledgeable, friendly and professional and passionate about Vancouver. He shared fascinating stories, answered our questions, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the day. He wanted to bring us to more interesting places of Vancouver but we requested to go to airport because the traffic was heavy. Thank you, Abtin, for showing us the beauty of Vancouver.

We had a wonderful tour...

Michelle_M, Jul 2026
We had a wonderful tour of Vancouver with Simin. We got to see exactly what we wished for and thoroughly enjoyed the entire time. Simin provided a great commentary and answered all our questions with great knowledge.

The best guide ever

Debra_G, Jul 2026
Our guide was the best. He took us to a wonderful Persian restaurant at lunch. He gifted us a box of dates. He was so thoughtful- knew just the places to take us. I am so sorry I forgot his name!!!

Highly Recommend: Ask for Ben!!

1 day Vancouver tour

Gabriele_B, Jul 2026
From booking the one day Vancouver tour, to meeting with our guide Abtin punctually at the location, we could not have asked for a better experience! This was our first time booking with Viator, and we will do it again. As far as our guide, he was courteous, knowledgable, and he was flexible. He had a tour lined up for us, gave us information and a bit of history on everything, and was flexible as far as our wishes. We had him pick a restaurant for a lunch break and it was absolutely phenomenal. He sure knows his way around and he is a fun person. We hope to be lucky enough to have him as our tour guide next time we are in Vancouver! Thank you for a great experience!

TRUDY_C, Jun 2026
It was a good introduction to the various parts of the city. There were adequate breaks for moving around, restroom, lunch.

Moms trip

michelle_r, Jun 2026
My mom and my aunt were so well taken care of. He went above and beyond! My mom just turned 80 and he treated her so kindly Took them everywhere they needed to be

Reliable comfortable touring

Mary_L, Jun 2026
Driver was prompt, reliable, and friendly. He drove us to the highlights around Vancouver in a clean and comfortable van. He was flexible about choice of sights to see, but ready with great recommendations. I would score him a 5 star except that the tour would have benefitted from more narration by our driver about the city and its surroundings, as well as a bit more introductory explanation of where we would go during our day together.

The guide was excellent and willing to make stops. We didn’t take advantage of that since I wasn't feeling well.

Darrel_T, May 2026
Mostly drive by’s with few stops. The driver took photos of us and shared them with us after the tour.

Ali was an amazing guide!...

Mike_E, May 2026
Ali was an amazing guide! He picked us up from the cruise port, showed us his beautiful city and was very personable and kind! I'm newly disabled and he unloaded and loaded my walker at each stop. He then dropped us off at our downtown hotel.

At your own pace.

James_S, May 2026
Great way to see the Vancouver area without being part of the crowd. Ali was exceptionally knowledgeable.

Great private tour!

Teresa_K, May 2026
Hamad tailored our Vancouver tour to what really interested us. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting bits of information about the area. We loved the fact it was a private tour. It was nice being able to take our luggage with us, right from our cruise pickup. Also got dropped off at our airport hotel.

Navid was an amazing guide.

Michael_P, May 2026
Navid was an amazing tour guide today. He showed me all over Vancouver. I was able to see and do so much in those few hours that I could have never done on my own, even with hours of planning. He communicated with me as soon as I got my luggage and was picking me up in a matter of minutes. By the way, it was raining for the first couple hours of our tour, but this did not stop him ensuring I got to see everything on our itinerary.

Great post cruise, preflight experience!

Catherine_J, May 2026
Great way to see the city after the cruise before our evening flight home. We walked off the ship, he was there when he said he would be, loaded our luggage into the car and off we went. Stress free and saw all we wanted to.

Great tour

Elizabeth_H, Apr 2026
Ali showed us much of Vancouver and was very informative. He was flexible and customized the tour to those things that interested us the most.

Saw a lot of different parts of Vancouver. Nice being private. Only issue was hard to understand at times.

A Wonderful Introduction to Vancouver’s Charms

Johannes_G, Feb 2026
We were in Vancouver for a short layover between two flights, and this excursion turned out to be an amazing surprise. It allowed us to soak in the city’s unique vibe, explore its beautiful surroundings, and meet its wonderfully friendly people. This delightful experience truly made us want to come back to Vancouver for a longer stay so we can fully enjoy everything the city has to offer.

Excellent Tour

Elizabeth_F, Oct 2025
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.

Great Private Vancouver Tour

Christopher_A, Sep 2025
An extremely complete tour of the whole city completely private and with great knowledge and explanation of areas and landmarks. Ali was excellent!

Great city tour

Victoria_K, Sep 2025
Ali was a great guide and gave us plenty of time to stop and explore. It was a great way to see Vancouver for the first time with limited time before a flight. We spent 5 hours touring and then he dropped us off at the airport. Would definitely recommend

Great driver and wonderful person

David_C, Sep 2025
Very friendly, very warm most accommodating and knew the area very well from the driving perspective as well as history.

Great tour of Vancouver. Don't miss it

Thomas_C, Sep 2025
Hamed was an excellent guide, and he knew all about Vancouver. Told him we wanted to mostly ride and look and not do a lot of walking. He was fine with that and stopped whenever we did want to get pictures. He was very friendly and took us to a great lunch spot serving Persin food. He is well worth the cost as a guide. We have taken a lot of tours over the years, and he is one of the best.
