Do not hesitate to book the Vancouver half-day tour. Great value and experience! - Excellent tour experience. Very easy meeting point for pick-up, greeted by a very friendly and helpful staffer who led us to the bus. Rene’ the driver and tour guide was incredible, he knows and loves Vancouver and has lots of interesting stories and very entertaining! He has the best dad jokes and they are constant. Rene obviously loves his job and is excellent at it. The tour is an excellent value for the cost, I highly recommend it. I will look forward to doing more tours in the future. It was a great experience.

Great time in Vancouver. Rene’ our tour guide was fabulous along with the women who met us at the ticket booth. - First off we were directed by our concierge on what would be best. The following day we met up with the tour girl who was fabulous and treated us like family. We joked a lot. Rene’ our tour guide bus driver had us laughing all day and the knowledge he had about Vancouver was amazing. We had such a great experience and look forward to seeing them again

Great Tour to orient yourself to Vancouver! - Took the 3.5hr tour to get myself oriented to the city. Rene was my tour guide. He was excellent at remembering people’s names, where we were from and provided some great tips aside from the formal tour attractions. Loved his sense of humour - it quickly brought the group together, made it relaxing. Didn’t expect to learn as much as I did about Stanley Park, the trees, and the Vancouver skyline. Loved that we had time to meander through Granville Island after getting the history of how it came to be. Will recommend to this tour to friends.

Great Tour and Great Guide - Our driver, Rene, was so knowledgeable about Vancouver. He interjected his narration with jokes which really made the tour fun. We learned a lot and saw a lot in a short time. Stanley Park was probably the highlight of the tour. Just gorgeous. If you only have a short time to see Vancouver, I would highly recommend this tour. Rene was FABULOUS!
