Myself and 7 family members chose the tour today over casual site seeing boat cruise. This trip was far more exciting. Raphael was our guide and we were all impressed with his knowledge and education of all the sites. The boat made 8 stops throughout the Harbour for plenty of photo opportunities. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone of all age groups. I will also do the tour again that's how fun it is.

It was a lot of fun! So worth doing to find out fun facts about the city. The only annoying part is finding the place to meet. One website says one address and one website says another. They need to figure out a better plan so people aren’t annoyed trying to find the activity they paid for.

Good trip

The trip was good, but not a sensation. The address of the meeting point on the voucher was unfortunately wrong, so we had to look for something. Otherwise everything is well organized, you can see a lot around Vancouver. He really turned up the pace on the open water, it was really cool. The warming suit offered is recommended, as it can be quite cold on the open water due to the wind. Particularly good: free lockers in the shop. Thus, the valuables can be deposited. Good price / performance ratio.
