Day trip Seattle to Vancouver
We enjoyed the day trip to Vancouver very much. We even got picked up and dropped off at our hotel which we were a bonus especially after a long day. Ryan was very knowledgeable about the history and places we visited and also very professional and personable. He gave us good tips about where to go and what to eat. We will definitely book another trip when we return. Susan and Hiram

Ryan was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the different areas we visited. He was also a good communicator, from the day before, throughout the entire trip we knew what we were doing and where to go.
