Very fun trip

I really enjoyed this day tour to Vancouver BC. Out tour guide was great, very chatty and his extroverted personality spilled out with the other members of the group. Everyone was chatting and interacting and sharing stories on the ride up. The tour guide also gave us great history lessons for Washington and Vancouver area and lived in both. I highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful One-Day Vancouver Trip with an Excellent Bilingual Guide

This was a wonderful one-day trip to Vancouver! Our guide and driver, Chris, shared interesting history and current information about both Seattle and Vancouver, which made the journey even more enjoyable. He also gave great recommendations on what to buy and what to eat at each stop, while still leaving us enough time for lunch and photos. One of the most unexpected and impressive parts of the trip was that Chris is bilingual. Since there were several Chinese travelers in the group, he explained everything in both English and Mandarin. This really enhanced our experience, especially because my partner is more comfortable with Mandarin. We went to the FlyOver show, but because it was such a crowded day, we couldn’t return to the group on time. Chris kindly took the rest of the group to Stanley Park first, and we caught up later by Lyft. After we arrived, he took the time to introduce the park to us again, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend this trip and especially Chris as a guide!

Good tour but Too $hort

Considering that he was new to the tour, he did an excellent job. He was very courteous and understanding. He was trying his best to keep us informed of what was going on.

From Seattle: Vancouver Day Trip, Stanley Park & Granville Island

We were told by Viator it would be a six person maximum tour. Meanwhile, it was a small mini van packed with 10 large people. And a very rushed tour. Some of us opted for the FLYOVER which cut our experience in Vancouver short since we were combined with people who opted not to do the ride. While the tour guide was extremely kind, he was not up to par. He could have done more, said more to guide us. We overpaid for what we received. It was lackluster. Again, very rushed.
