Explore Granville Island Market with 20-plus tastings, local stories, and expert food tips in a two-hour Vancouver walking tour.
“This was a highlight of our trip. The food was delicious and the stories interesting. Would have liked a bit more food for the price, but the discounts for our later purchase were a nice bonus. Appreciated the extra pastry to make up for not being able to eat the pork products that were part of the tour. Also not having to wait on line for s Lee's donut. Loved the cheeses and coffee.”

Review of Vancouver Bike Tours’ 3-hour ride through Gastown, Chinatown, Strathcona and Granville Island, with practical tips, pricing and route details.
“We had a fantastic afternoon riding around Vancouver with our guide Jeremy. He was extremely knowledgeable and interesting, telling us all about the art, culture and history of different parts of the city and also the ecology, flora and fauna of Stanley Park, whilst always being mindful to place everything in the context of being on first nation land. We covered about 20km with plenty of stops. We would highly recommend this tour as a great way to get a feel for the city. Thank you Jeremy!”

Review of Vancouver’s Eagle Eyes whale watching tour from Granville Island, with orcas, humpbacks, 360-degree views, practical tips, and value advice.
“Our naturalist Julia was excellent and super knowledgeable. I loved learning about humpback whale behaviours and how to identify them as we tracked the 3 we found during the excursion. I also loved seeing the harbour seals and learning about other marine wildlife like sea otters even though we didn't see them on our trip. I wish we could have stayed out in the northern sound longer to track them but acknowledge that our naturalist and captain tried their best. Overall an excellent experience. I would do it again in a heartbeat and will be recommending Wild Whales to all my friends, family and colleagues.”
