My husband and I were extremely pleased with this tour. We were only in Vancouver for three days, so we wanted to make sure we saw and learned as much as possible. This tour did just that. Our tour guide, Lawrence, was so good. His knowledge of the history, various areas and culture of Vancouver was outstanding. He was also so personable, fun and friendly. Great job all around!

Michael was very informative and we saw so much that we would have never thought to go to. He spent more than enough time with us.

Lawrence tour did a good job. There were only three of us so we went in a car with Michael and he was very attentive and informative. The couple that was on tour with me were not friendly but that’s not the tour‘s fault. Luck of the draw.
