- Denzo, our driver and guide, did an outstanding job on our tour. This is a great tour to take to get a good overview of Stanley Park as well as the other stops listed. Great overview of the city and its different areas. Would have loved a little more time on Granville Island.

Great View of Vancouver! - We had never been to Vancouver before. This tour allowed us to get to know the city and some of its history. Our tour guide Bernie was excellent in making this possible. The views of the water were breathtaking. Stanley Park is a place you wish you could spend hours. The architecture of the city is very unique and “playful” as one noted visitor described it. The Lookout Tower gave an amazing view of the city. Granville Island was filled with a farmer’s market where I saw fruits I had never seen before. Plus there were unique shops and a type of food court. You could eat outside by the water or eat where a busker played music. My husband and I were very glad that we went on this tour.

Our tour guide Kim was knowledgeable, fun, inclusive and full of little insights that helped paint a picture of Vancouver life. The only slight negative was the poor communication of the Lookout Tower escort but that was not something that Kim or Discover Canada could control.

Great view of Vancouver in a short time. - Great experience. Our guide, Bernie Glemas, was amazing and went out of his way to serve us. We liked most of his jokes too.

Excellent city tour (4.8/5) - Took this 5-hour day tour of Vancouver city by Discover Canada Tours that I booked through the information desk at Canada Place. Great tour guide and side-kick: We were a small group and Meghan, our guide, was bubbly and welcoming, with a great sense of humour. She was actually our driver too, and she still managed to provide an entertaining running commentary as she drove around expertly. She was knowledgeable and made our short tour really informative and enjoyable. As Meghan was also mentoring and training her new colleague Anthony, we actually had two guides for the day. So many highlights: The pace was just right and there were several photo opportunities, including at Stanley Park, Lions Gate Bridge, the Steam Clock in Gastown and the Vancouver Lookout (like CN Tower in Toronto). We also had our own lunch at popular Granville Island Public Market (a bit like St Lawrence Market in Toronto and Covent Garden in London). I thought we covered considerable ground in a short time. We all had so much fun. Highly recommended!

Likeable! - Way to see the city without hassle. No need to research, like on the hop on/hop off. Just sit back and enjoy.

Not worth - We missed the key places (steam clock...) and stopped twice 30 in the park. We had to rush in Grandville island to have lunch. Really not worth the price.
