This review site is annoying! I’ve given the trip and especially our driver excellent marks. Having to complete this “review writing tips” to submit a good report is not necessary!!!

This tour covered everything!

We were able to see all of the main places in town and enjoyed being dropped off to explore in detail in Stanley Park and Granville Island.
