5.00Today we got the Grand Tour by shiny weather with Nick. Nick is a fine and about Vancouver the history of Vancouver, the First Nations well aducaded Guide. It was a pleasure to hear all the interesting details of the several sites on our way throug Vancouver. And Nick always was aware that noone got lost. In our opinion the Tour could also last longer to better explore the sites we visited. So we can fully recommend the Tour and the nice Tour-Guide Nick. Stay healthy and well Nick.

5.00The guide called Frank was very knowledgeable and made this excursion very enjoyable. This is by far better way to see Vancouver than a bus. The cycling was very easy and mostly flat and 90% on cycle lanes
Fantastic
