Cycle Vancouver’s seawall, Stanley Park, Granville Island, Chinatown, and Gastown on a five-hour small-group bike tour.

“Took the ride with Gary, who was absolutely fantastic. His knowledge of the Vancouver area, complete with a book of pictures and history lessons, was really great and educational. This ride was a bit faster paced and covered more miles than some other bike tours we have taken in major cities. I would say you should be in moderate shape to keep up! It covers so much of the city and was a perfect way to spend our first day in Vancouver.”
