She was funny, informative, and overall a great person.she is also kind, think of the people around us that might over hear her on sensitive subjects. Overflowing with information, she answered every question and even gave us some food recommendations. Definitely recommend doing. I also did the china town tour. Alex was super informative. Also joking around on the riot explanations was very nice. 10/10 recommend especially if you're in Vancouver for a couple days.

Not only can you not lose because this is a FREE tour...but you will gain so much interesting info!…read more I'm sure hopping on and off a bus would be just fine, but for us, with just one short day in this vast city, we were looking for a quick connection, and that's exactly what we got on this recent Sunday. We met our tour guide, Ali at the designated time (11am) at the designated place, and 20 or so of us enjoyed an incredibly interesting walking tour of Chinatown. There is no way we would have gotten the feel for this city had we not taken this tour. Several folks were repeat tour guy visitors, so they must have enjoyed those as well. Our group had folks from several countries. It is a relaxed tour at a pace that is just right...not too fast and not too slow. Seriously, just right! And absolutely everyone in our group was happy to hand over generous thank you tips. Well-deserved. Ali was kind enough at the end of the tour to guide anyone who wanted dining suggestions or directions. For us, he was even kind enough to let us walk along with him since we were heading in the same direction. As a result, we were fortunate enough to get an extended tour, as he remained a wealth of Vancouver info as we went along. Highly recommend!

Very bad business practice…read more We booked a 3pm tour. It was the last day that we are in Vancouver, we would be flying home that night. At 1:45pm, after we have planned our whole day around the excursion and checked out of the hotel in preparation of this tour, Sea Vancouver office called and said they are cancelling my tour because they "need a minimum of 4 people and only 3 people booked". I explained that we are leaving the city that day, and we planned our whole day around this, and if there is anything they can do. It is unreasonable to only notify me 75 minutes prior to departure time - we were already on the way to the departure point! The only thing they said was that they will refund me in full (I'd better hope so since you cancelled it with incredibly short notice!) I understand that it may not be economical to operate a tour based on fixed cost, but this was NOT written anywhere when I booked it on the official website, but they were happy to take my money when I booked. The confirmation email stated "We reserve the right to delay or cancel a departure for events beyond our control (e.g. adverse weather conditions, technical or mechanical issues, etc.)" -- well, operating a boat when there are "only" 3 paying customers is definitely in their control, they just choose to screw over their customers. This has put a really sour taste on my trip to Vancouver. I would encourage everybody to stay away.

First of all, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend this for all! Specially if its your first time in…read moreVancouver or have not been around the harbor! This was our first time in Vancouver, and whats not a better way to experience it than by taking a boat tour! We honestly planned this boat tour super last minute, so we called a few places, but they were all closed. Fortunately, Sea Vancouver still had tours going out until 7pm which was the last one! The lobby is located in the Westin hotel and the ride is 90 minutes long, which takes you all around the harbor of Vancouver to the English Bay! There was so much to see at the waterfront and we even saw a few dolphins along the ride! We were hoping for orcas too but maybe next time haha. Overall the boat tour was absolutely amazing! Terry our captain, made the experience super educational a fun! Love that guy! Thanks Cap! And thank you Sea Vancouver!

Still a long day but I enjoyed all of it. Alex the tour guide was really funny and attentive. He made sure we weren't too warm or cold during the trip and was always on time. Each van sits about 30 people so it's not one of those huge buses. Comfortable seats but no window curtains or charger for your phone. You'll be able to charge on the ferry though.

Had a great tour of the Granville Public Market with Michael. There was an awesome variety of food…read moretasted from a Thai Entree, to pickles, to charcuterie, and plenty of desserts. Michael was friendly and did a great job of being informative, friendly, and keeping the tour moving/not holding up traffic. I will say compared to some of the other food tours we've been on, we didn't walk away as full as anticipated. We definitely got an entree to share between our group of three afterwards, but thanks to the food tour we knew where we wanted to go fairly quickly. All in all a great trip and a super efficient way to check out the market.

I'm a firm believer that the best way to get to know a city is through its food, and the Granville…read moreIsland Market tour definitely delivered! It was super fun, and in just two hours we learned a lot and tasted even more -- time flew by. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience engaging. I highly recommend it to anyone exploring the city (we even had some local Canadians on our tour, which says a lot!).

A lovely, tranquil park. It was designated as a federal park, and a $1.00/year lease was drawn up…read more It expired in the late 1990's, but has been renewed into perpetuity. Nice trails that lead to an aquarium and a collection of totem poles ( it was too far for me to walk to the totem poles.) There are many giant red cedar trees, plus some quite large chestnut trees. This was stop 5 on the Hop on Hop off bus ride.

If you're en route to Vancouver, you seriously can't miss Stanley Park…read more We rented bikes (there are a ton of bike shops around) and did the loop. It's a 5.6-mile paved loop that takes you along the seawall. The estimate is around 1-2 hours, but we made a ton of stops along the way. This park is HUGE and there's so much to see. It was the most beautiful way to unplug and sightsee.

I visited the Vancouver Lookout and left pretty underwhelmed…read more First issue was finding it. It's inside a building, but signage outside is small and not very clear, so it took a bit of wandering before I even found the line. I actually even passed the building up while walking. I needed to use the restroom before going up and saw signage for the one near the food court. Honestly, it was absolutely disgusting and didn't have paper towels. I ended up walking completely out. When I asked the lookout staff about a restroom, I was initially told there wasn't one. Then once they asked if I was intending on buying a ticket, it suddenly appeared that there all of a sudden was a restroom available upstairs. Hmmm but at any rate, it was a completely different experience from the first restroom. Thank goodness. The lookout itself feels dated. You do get a full bird's-eye view of the city, but there wasn't anything especially exciting or memorable about it. They also charged more than what was posted on the signage, so it looks like a recent price increase, $24 CAD mid June. Overall, if you go in with low expectations and just want a quick view of the city, it's fine. But I wouldn't call it a must-do in Vancouver.

This is a must do if you are visiting! We only had one day to capture the Vancouver experience and…read morethis was one of the spots we chose to visit. We were not disappointed. Don't let the ticket price scare you, it was worth every penny. We spent about an hour on top with the breathtaking views of the city and apparently the mountains if it was raining.

First we rode an interurban car for a short portion of their track. Then we took a tour of their facility starting with their bee garden through their shop and finishing with a ride on their velocipede and modified pump car. Because it was a special event, we had a catered lunch (they use the catering business next door), which was simple, delicious, and way better than a boxed lunch. We finished the afternoon with a final ride on their Queen Car -- Connaught 1304 car. We had a good time. It was a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, so I would recommend checking them out for a few hours one afternoon or hosting an event there.

Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society in Surrey, BC…read more We had a lovely time Saturday, July 14, 2018. Our 3 y/o daughter loves trains and we had seen the train a couple month prior (I think they were preparing and maybe advertising) going down the tracks as we drove along side them. The volunteers were all very lovely. There were a lot of them, probably 10+ people. I was at first sticker shocked at the admission prices but the train ride was almost an hour. The commentary from one of the volunteers was great. He provided a lot of history and facts on the first half of the stretch. It was a bit of a long ride for our daughter, she was good to go after the first 20 mins. There are also no washrooms onboard once you leave the station, obviously, so you have to make sure you go before you leave. They had a simulator that you could drive while you waited for your train to depart. She really enjoyed that! I'd recommend this attraction if you can afford it. It cost us $50 for our family of three. Adults are $20 & kids 2-11 years are $10.

We got to watch several planes take off from and land on the water, saw a Cormorant dive and come up with a fish, learned that there are bee hives on top of several buildings in Vancouver and so much more on our short 30 minute tour.
