• Not great

  Our tour was more like a $1200 Uber ride between tourist locations. The car was clean, the driver was timely and friendly, but he had very little information to share about Vancouver. We really expected more of a running commentary rather than being dropped off at tourist locations to explore on our own. I really didn’t enjoy the ride down a street to see the devastating unhomed and narcotics issues capped off with someone vomiting on the street. Too much reality for a family tour.

  Should title tour 4 forgettable hours. Complete waste of $1000. Tour guide was dull and lacked knowledge about Vancouver. Hard to understand. Poor driver with a vehicle that was uncomfortable for 4. Had to use Waze to navigate the city.

  It probably depends on what driver you get. But while our driver was a very nice guy, the tour was a dud. Half our ride was spent in silence unless my mom and I spoke to each other. Very little narration on what we were seeing and when we were given something it was thrilling: “The park has horse tours” as we drove by a horse tour. Or “This area is called English Bay. They’re building something here.” We drove by the girl in a wetsuit statue and almost missed it because nothing was said about it. Even after I pointed it out. We were not able to stop or offered the ability to stop and take photos of many things. We were driving by too fast to see them. Again, with very little or no information given about them other than “There are totem poles. They’re very old.” It claimed to be customized to our tastes but we weren’t given any option on what we saw. We did have tickets included to the botanical garden and lookout tower, and those were enjoyable but honestly, you could do all this on your own for half the price. At $600 this was a complete waste of money. I’ll give an extra star because the car was immaculately clean and our guide was an outstanding driver. And he was a really nice guy. Otherwise, I was extremely disappointed.

• Expensive Taxi Ride

  There was nothing "Amazing" about this experience, this was just a very expensive taxi ride. Our driver, Suresh, was nice and drove well enough. He moved to Vancouver in the last 3 years and did not know much about the area; basic questions about our stops could not be answered (why is it called Gastown?, who was Stanley?, etc). After a few stops we wound up just Googling places ourselves. Additionally, this company reached out to us at 5:00 PM the night before the tour asking to reschedule our tour to the afternoon, 5 hours later than booked. We could not do that due to our limited time in the area and our dinner reservation. Beware, when I called Viator customer service I was told that a "tour" was definitely not included with our booking. Based on the other reviews they may have knowledgeable guides/drivers, that was just not our experience. In the future, I will look for tour experiences with more in-depth reviews and try to avoid the Viator "sponsored" first search items. They make it too easy and in this case we paid the price.

  Our guide/driver, Gaby, was wonderful, she gave us the grand tour and plenty of time to explore each area. She was a careful driver, professional and very knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend. We would not have been able to see so much without this tour.
