5.00We had a great time. It was the 2nd time my daughter and I went. My husband and boys missed the first time so we booked it again so they could do. They loved it.
Great tour but office was chaos

4.00The tour was great. Dylan was knowledgeable and funny. Parents and kids alike had a great time. This was a great intro to Vancouver, and a super great excursion for arrival day dealing with jet laggy kids. My only complaint was that the office was a bit of a mess - chaos with multiple groups checking in at once and people missing check in because the process wasn’t clear. Also, there was only one bathroom for a pretty big number and they did send people down the road to look for other public restrooms that were not as close or easy to find as said.
Great fun

5.00My mom and I had a great tour on a gorgeous sunny day with Zach, and even though the water was a little choppy and other folks wanted to ride farther back, we hopped in the front. Zach’s driving made sure we cut through the waves nicely, and he did have a great playlist. I only wish we could have booked the UNESCO tour a bit later in the afternoon like this one, as it felt a little short. We had a blast and highly recommend!
