5.00It was a great tour. Tour guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It seemed a little long (14 miles)for the average biker, but it was definitely worth it.
Do this...it was fun!

5.00It was a long ride, but almost all flat, or slight incline. Greg A was our guide and was completely engaging, very knowledgeable, and entertaining. We saw a lot, learned a lot, and had a great time. We did not use E bikes, although some in our group did. There was one short hill (ramp to a bridge) that we walked the bikes up, but no other issues. It was a hot day, and wish we had brought water, but there were plenty of schedule bathroom stops where we could get drinks.
Grand tour - thank you Mark! Great guiding

5.00The 5 hour trip around the city was beautiful & provided a well rounded introduction to Vancouver. We saw all the hot spots, got top Line history and it helped us know where we wanted to spend more time. Our guide was Heidi & she was AWESOME! She set a good biking pace for the group, she related to each group on our tour & she had a lot of fun facts about the city. This was my second time & I’d do it a 3rd. Bravo city cycle 👏
