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.

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!

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.

I did the gastown tour with Marla and the China town tour with Alex…read more Marla was absolutely amazing. 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!

Once Upon a Time, my wife and I visited this storyb(r)ook fairy-tale fishing village situated at…read morethe mouth of the Fraser River, a few miles south of Vancouver, BC, to celebrate our third anniversary. We visited several places she had seen in one of her favorite television mini-series, including Granny's Diner (Cannery Cafe), Mr. Gold's Pawnshop (Mr. Gold's Gelato), the ruined clock tower (a similarly run-down antique mall), and several other filming locations around the area. We went souvenir shopping at the wharf, where locals purchased fresh seafood (particularly spot prawns) right off the boat, stopped for drinks at a riverside cafe (Blue Canoe), and stayed three nights at the Steveston Cafe & Hotel, located just a block away from all the action, among many other things. Our adventure seemed limitless, for there seemed to be something new to discover around every corner, whether it be a shop, a restaurant, or a landmark of historical interest. We loved every minute of it. When our time came to return home to "the real world", we left feeling a bit listless and melancholy, after having had such a wonderful time. Fortunately, we took home with us an innumerable number of photos, a few souvenirs, and a priceless collection of memories of our time spent together in this quaint, curious and magical place. And we lived happily ever after!

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.

We had fantastic sunny clear weather, calm waters, high tide, and fish jumping all around us! It was amazing to see. We look forward to returning! Tony offers tours for new and experienced paddlers.

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. I would recommend it. Have your camera ready in the elevator as well.

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.

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.

This was stop 5 on the Hop on Hop off bus ride.

After an hour or so in the Park, our tour headed to Granville Island.
