We had Dave as our guide and he was awesome and informative. He made sure we had enough time at all our stops (15 at Stanley Park, 1.15 hour at Granville and 2.15 at Capilano Bridge) and gave tons of information on our drive go and from. H knew all the tricks and tips to make our day exciting and special. Would highly recommend.

The trip was in total a perfect hit! The flight was really well done and our captain reacted to the weather conditions on the day the flight took place and it was just perfect. Best thing if you combine both activities (flight and suspension bridge) :)

One of the best experiences of our lives. no exaggeration. We had the absolute best time at the canyon at Christmas and this tour alotted the perfect amount of time to experience everything. Best tour I have booked in all of our travels.

The canyon lights were amazing, definitely worth the price.

Must-do if you don't have much time to visit Vancouver.
