My husband and I took this tour with Josh and had an excellent time. Josh was personable, knowledgeable, and fun. We particularly enjoyed his route thru the Stanley Park rainforest, the trip over the Burrard Bridge to Granville Island, and Chinatown. Highly recommend - even in the rain!

Safe, informative and FUN!! Greg was an amazing guide with a wealth of local history and stories. A great way to see the city. More time for lunch and exploring Granville Island would have been preferred but overall it was a 10 out of 10 experience!

Had the best time with our awesome guide, Zach. The five hour bike tour was a perfect introduction to iconic Vancouver sites, history and architecture. Was full on raining for the first 2-3 hours, but nothing could dampen our fun. Shout out for tour company supplying free rain ponchos and extra (warm) gloves to borrow for the day, total game changer. Highly recommend this group and tour!

Zack, our guide, was the best! His demeanor and knowledge was perfect. Even his interaction with a local homeless person was so kind and empathetic. He’s the best.

My partner and I did this tour with German and it was exceptional! Such a great way to explore the city. German was knowledgeable, kind, and entertaining. His love for Vancouver and his job was very evident, I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!

Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide! Would highly recommend you do it at the beginning of your trip- it's a great introduction to Vancouver. You get to see a lot of different neighbourhoods while learning the history of the city. The pace was leisurely, and for 5 hours, it felt like a very easy ride.

Heidi led a great tour. She attentively assigned participants to suitable bikes & helmets, thoroughly reviewed safety rules and hand signals, paced the ride for all capabilities, and was an engaging narrator. Along the route she framed the sights with in depth knowledge. We gained a greater appreciation of Vancouver - it's history, economy, society, and ecology. Thank you, Heidi, for a fantastic tour of a beautiful city. Best of luck with your tree-top endeavors.

An excellent tour covering almost all of Vancouver and all the main spots in 5 hours, with lessons provided on the history, architecture, and eras of the city, from the earliest Indigenous history to the modern day. Our guide, Jake, was outstanding and enthusiastic, and also provided tips for where to eat, drink and visit later in the week to get the most out of our stay.

With some trepidation we undertook this city tour despite being well out of practice on two wheels. Comfort taken from ability to upgrade to ebike. Our guide German obviously knows his city well and took frequent opportunities to stop the tour and impart information to the group. Route was relatively easy and flat with frequent stops allowing tired legs to rest a little. A unique way to get to know this very cycle friendly city - but stars belong to German for the way he led this your

Truly awesome experience with Zach seeing Vancouver. We gained insightful knowledge about the history of Vancouver becoming a city in 1886 and how the Canadian Railroad helped Canada win a race against the US to get here first. Loved the comment about the convention center being double platinum LEED and the Olympic housing being single platinum certified, but I’m pretty sure I was the only one who knew what u were talking about! Great job! Great tour! Really made our trip to Vancouver special! Mike and Shelby from Texas
