Amazing Stanley Park bike tour - Our Stanley Park bike tour was simply amazing. Fran was our guide and we couldn't have been luckier. She was informative and enthusiastic the whole tour. She eagerly took photos of us, and had a genuine concern for our enjoyment. My wife had a little crash on her bike, but Fran immediately broke out her first aid kit and tended to my wife. We could not have asked for a better experience or a better guide for the morning. Thanks again!!!

Great tour of Stanley Park - Our guides, Fran and Andre, were very knowledgeable and very friendly. The bike traffic was very busy on a Saturday afternoon. Our guides navigated our group skillfully and shared interesting information about the area. Some parts of the path are fairly steep uphill. The guides were very helpful when one member of our group went off the bike path at the steep section. We had a great time, highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful, informative, cycle tour - Ridwan was a great guide for this beautiful cycle tour. He was charming, informative and very patient! The tour takes in some lovely and very interesting parts of Stanley Park and the Vancouver sea wall. As someone who was once a confident cyclist, it is now quite some years since I sat on a bike and I found this trip very challenging and at no point did I start to feel really confident on a bike, especially as many of the cycle paths are very busy and quite narrow. I feel that there should be some kind of a warning about this tour as it takes in some very busy areas where full cycling confidence is required. I was very conscious of holding up the rest of the party while I struggled to catch up. Despite this, I would thoroughly recommend this tour as a priority activity for visitors to Vancouver!
