Vancouver Tour

jbongard, Sep 2023

Our group of 10 enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide, Bobby was great! He was very knowledgeable about Vancouver, its history and present day. He was very kind and accommodating to all of our needs. He was able to adjust the schedule once he found out that we needed to be at the airport earlier than he had expected. He was also able to take us to a variety of places even in our limited time. He was an excellent driver as well. We would definitely recommend Bobby as your tour guide with VIATOR.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Excellent Overview

Jean R, Sep 2019

We did this tour on our first morning and it laid the foundation for a successful visit. Bobby, who has a very nice demeanor and a good command of the city and its history, suggested sights and restaurants for the remainder of our visit. His advice proved to be on target. We took wonderful memories home despite rain and fog as a result of Bobby’s advice. As an added bonus, Bobby knew the most beautiful places for photos and insisted on taking pictures of us on our phones, all of which were gorgeous.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

Hello Jean, I am very happy that you have thoroughly enjoyed yourselves, the sights and dining in Vancouver. Thank you very much for your review. I am very delighted. Regards, Bobby

Highly recommended

Karla C, May 2019

Bobby was the best tour director. He was so knowledgeable about history, art, architecture, and geography; and shared tips on where to visit for the rest of our trip, including free shuttles! I am hooked on viatour and am booking more tours with them. Thank you Bobby for a wonderful day.
