This was the first time I’d ever taken a tour and I did it on my own and it was excellent and fun. Tim our guide gave us so much great information that I found myself taking notes to tell my partner later. We did so much but I never felt we were rushed. I was picked up at my hotel and dropped off there at the end of the day which I totally appreciated. The whole day well organised and very relaxing. I felt very well looked after:)

First of all we had beautiful weather! It was a small(ish) group. Everyone returned to bus at appointed time-no waiting! Our driver was the best! Dave was a good driver, he gave straightforward commentary, he was clear with instructions & what to expect.

Alex was a great guide and the tour covered the key things I wanted to see whilst I was staying in Vancouver. Alex was informative and helped to steer you to the things you needed to see.

Kyle was such a great communicator in convincing me to cross the bridge, would not be so wonderful without him.

It was absolutely amazing and our tour guide went above and beyond to provide us the best experience possible!
