Vancouver Tour - Our group of 10 enjoyed the tour very much. Our tour guide, Bobby was great! He was very knowledgeable about Vancouver, its history and present day. He was very kind and accommodating to all of our needs. He was able to adjust the schedule once he found out that we needed to be at the airport earlier than he had expected. He was also able to take us to a variety of places even in our limited time. He was an excellent driver as well. We would definitely recommend Bobby as your tour guide with VIATOR.

Vancouver is a beautiful city - Bobby was a great guide. He gave us a lot of information about Vancouver and about all of the flowers and trees we saw in Stanley Park which was a beautiful place. He also took excellent pictures along the way and was very kind to our sister who had limited mobility. Lunch at the Public Market was great.

Garden Tours with Birds - Bobby was wonderful!!! We were picked up at our hotel. We had a private tour through Vancouver. After a fantastic day of multiple gardens and parks, he dropped us back off. We were all thrilled and I saw 5 life birds along the way. Thank you, Bobby.

Excellent Overview - We did this tour on our first morning and it laid the foundation for a successful visit. Bobby, who has a very nice demeanor and a good command of the city and its history, suggested sights and restaurants for the remainder of our visit. His advice proved to be on target. We took wonderful memories home despite rain and fog as a result of Bobby’s advice. As an added bonus, Bobby knew the most beautiful places for photos and insisted on taking pictures of us on our phones, all of which were gorgeous.
