Worth it. - Set up this tour via Viator.com and it was just what we wanted... someone to walk us around town and point out information, history, and sites that we wouldn't know on our own and provide some places to shop, eat, and see while we were in town. Its at your own pace so you can rest when you want and catch up with the group later if necessary. Learned quite a bit about Vancouver and visited areas we wouldn't have found on our own. Would recommend.

Excellent introductory walk for the Downtown Vancouver area - We went on the 3 hour walking tour and it was excellent. The guide, Sarah, was very informative and knowledgeable - she also went out of her way to help us with bus routes for other places to visit (looking up timetables for us). The tour gives you a good overall view of the downtown area with a good variety of places.

So much to learn! - This trip was extremely informative, and we learned so much about the history of Vancouver. I particularly appreciated that our tour guide started with the land acknowledgment, and included indigenous history as an important part of the information she shared.

Amazing tour! - Our family of 8 adults went on a private walking tour of Vancouver. Our tour guide Jameela was wonderful! She was so sweet and very knowledgeable about the city. We learned so much in a very short period of time. Would definitely recommend it.

Good Overview - This was a great way to not only get an overview of the city but to hear some facts you won't get anywhere else. Andrew did a great job with this tour (and we had a fairly large group) and had a great sense of humor.

Great way to explore and meet fellow travelers - The free walking tour really went above and beyond my expectations. As a first time solo traveler I was feeling a bit shy, but my guide Joshua did such a great job getting the group to engage with each other. I was chatting with my fellow travelers right off the bat. I met some cool people from the UK and Montreal - even had the opportunity to go out to lunch with my new Montreal friends. This was such a perfect way to start my travels! The stops and stories were really interesting. I grew up learning about Terry Fox is school but have never heard such a heartwarming and heartwrenching recount of Terry's journey. Well done, Joshua!

A good intro into YVR - Enjoyed the tour and learnt about YVR.
We had done the Victoria tour and booked this because it had been a great tour. This still did the business but had just too many people at 30, really impractical to have this amount wandering round the city. Also hard to hear our guide Fran. She did well recommending other ideas and things in YVR followed up with an email of all the advice which was a nice touch.
