This tour was perfect! It hit all the highlights without a lot of extraneous on and off the bus. The duration was just long enough to not feel rushed, and short enough to keep your interest. Michael was a great guide and offered lots of interesting information about all of Vancouver, even if it was just a drive by stop. He was very friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable. The inclusion of references to his experiences living and working in the area added to the enjoyment. I wish we had had more time to shop at Granville, but not a reason to take "points" away from the overall experience.
