I chose this tour because of the 5 stars reviews all around. It did live up to the expectations. Jermy is great. Smart, kind, and a great guide. You get a great sense of the city and what life is like in Vancouver. Don't miss it!
Jeremy’s personable approach and knowledge across so many areas made the bike tour so memorable and worthwhile. Would so recommend this as a first step in familiarising yourself with Vancouver. His hot tips for other bits and pieces were also really valuable
I only had one day in Vancouver, and by going on this tour I felt like I saw so much! I learned about the architecture, the colonial history, the indigenous history, the natural history, and the future of Vancouver. The ride was flat and the route was fantastic. I had a really fantastic. Jeremy was great fun and so full of fun little facts!
We were worried that it would be too cold or rainy to go on a bike ride while we were in Vancouver for a few days but we are so glad we were wrong. We had the most amazing time biking through downtown and then on to Stanley park. It was the perfect way to get to know the city and our guide shared lots of interesting facts we would of never known. The bikes themselves were great, very light weight and easy to use. We would high recommend this activity!
Jeremy was hands down the best tour guide I have ever encountered. Excellent rapport, knowledgeable of his city's history, gave valuable insights into the native american culture, patient and showed extreme sensitivity to mother nature as a whole. I am no biker but he pretty much adjusted the pace to make it a comfortable ride for me. It helped that we have a glorious weather for several days now. I was the only client this morning, Oct. 19th, so it was a real personal experience for me riding through the city. Thank you, Jeremy. This was one of the highlights of my vacation here.
