##What Our Guests Are Saying “ Our bike tour with Amy was fabulous. Her positive energy and knowledge of the area was a great combination. A good tour guide absolutely made the experience. I was slightly nervous about the traffic involved with doing a bike tour, but was pleasantly surprised. Although we started and ended downtown, most of it was on designated bike paths. Even the small stretch in city streets was fine. Drivers seemed very used to bicyclists, and Vancouver drivers are very reasonable, slow and aware (unlike east coast US drivers!!). We learned so much about the area, and this tour was a highlight of our trip. We got the e-bike upgrade, which was really fun, but not necessary. Upon arriving at the meeting spot I realized there were many bike tour choices. Upon returning 4 hours later, I felt incredibly lucky we stumbled on this one. The best!!” Amanda R, TripAdvisor

“My family and I had a wonderful time on the bike tour ! We got to explore the park, beaches and city at a relaxed pace and made stops at points of interest! Andrew and Roberto where very attentive to the safety of the group and made the trip fun and informative!” Brenda, TripAdvisor

“We did a 4 hour bike tour of the city and our guide Fran was very professional, knowledgeable, and fun. Great way to see a bunch of neighborhoods, learn some history, get some exercise” L Nickel, TripAdvisor

“Great way to spend a morning! I would recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your visit as it gave us a good idea of the layout of the city and lots of ideas of places we wanted to spend more time in later on. The pace was good and our guide Amy had tons of anecdotes to share about the city.” Andrea C, TripAdvisor
