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!

A perfect tour

Petervander_M, Oct 2023

The bikes were perfect, the weather was nice, but most of all we appreciated our guide, Jeremy Catherall, a perfect guide knowing the history and the surroundings of Vancouver as well as a lot of other topics we talked about. A perfect story teller, a perfect teacher. We fell in love with Vancouver and surely intend to visit again.

Do this on your first day here!

Michelle_D, Sep 2023

Great guided tour around downtown that allowed us to get a feel for the city on our first day. Really enjoyed our time with Jeremy, a knowledgeable, friendly and relaxed guide.

Excellent tour with a superb tour guide!

Sarah_S, Sep 2023

Jeremy was a fantastic tour guide! A third generation Vancouverite who was full of local history, neighborhood insights and cultural context. He was able to explain and share his knowledge in an approachable, yet nuanced format. Excellent tour with a superb tour guide. I’ve already recommended his tour to a friend who business travels to the area frequently.

Excellent Way to Spend An Afternoon

Stacy_S, Aug 2023

I highly recommend this bike tour. We had a few hours in Vancouver and decided an active bike tour would be a good way to spend the afternoon. Jeremy was our tour guide and he was fantastic - knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We saw and learned so much more about this area of Vancouver than we would have on our own.

Very enjoyable bike tour

Jill_L, Jul 2023

Jeremy was a very good tour guide. My favorite parts of the ride was Granville island. Least favorite was skid row. It leaves a bad impression of Seattle. I would skip going thru there on the bike tour.

Best summary tour of the city

Aman_S, May 2023

Great experience with Jeremy! It is best way to get the summary of the city in short time. I would recommend it on the first day of the day to get an idea of what Vancouver has to offer.

Tour of Vancouver

Troy_M, May 2023

Best way to see the city. You go through many neighborhoods and the guide gives the details of each area.

We loved it! Thanks Jeremy!

MARIATERESA_G, Apr 2023

Jeremy was great

Socorro_G, Apr 2023

The guide, Jeremy Catherall, was very personable and knowledgeable and made the whole experience a real pleasure.

Great tour with a great guide

Katherine_S, Apr 2023

Wonderful!!

paola_t, Mar 2023

This has got to be one of the best tours I’ve taken! It was so much fun, I felt like I was out on a bike ride with a really good friend who just happens to know a lot of interesting facts about Vancouver. We ride all over Vancouver and Jeremy was super knowledgeable, and he kind of tailored the ride to me since I had already seen some of the places in the tour…we visited places I know I had never heard about, much less would have found on my own, and best of all it was all by bike (which by the way was a really good bike). It really was a was a wonderful experience, and next time I’m in town I’ll be sure to take it again!

Excellent way to get to know Vancouver!

PaulandHelen_H, Mar 2023

Thank you for flight delays that allowed us to take this bike tour!!! Jeremy was excellent in sharing his city with genuine enthusiasm. We saw and learned so much on this bike tour. Truly recommend to anyone. The team were all so friendly.

I recommend it!

Wheeler_F, Sep 2022

Jeremy was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was very enjoyable. I particularly liked going through the parks and hearing city history.

Riding a bike through Vancouver

Must See Tour!!

Lynn_M, Aug 2022

Jeremy did a fantastic job with this tour!!! We learned so much about Vancouver and no better way to site see then on bikes. I highly recommend taking this tour to get acquainted with Vancouver

Vancover cycle tour

zoeandy, Aug 2022

This was the most enjoyable way to see vancover, our guide Jeremy was amazing and very knowledgeable which brought the tour to life. By far the best way to get to grips with this wonderful place.

Best bike tour of Vancouver!

Chrissie_L, Jul 2022

Jeremy was very knowledgeable and the nicest. He even treated our group to ice cream. The 11 mile ride was easier than I thought it would be. Highly recommend.

Great way to see the city with a knowledgeable guide.

Jo_L, Jul 2022

Learning the history of the city and enjoying seeing the waterfront, Granville island and the Olympic village.

Superb!

Louisa_H, Mar 2022

We toured with Jeremy who was a brilliant guide. Lots of interesting stops and he was really informative too. We all had a great trip.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Thank you Louisa. It was a pleasure to show you and your family Vancouver. All the best!

When we visit a city our preferred way...

Sandra S, Sep 2017

When we visit a city our preferred way of seeing it is a bike tour led by a local who knows and loves the city - you get their insight and perspective, so much more depth than you would otherwise. Jeremy was an excellent guide friendly, relaxed and very informative. He was also very attentive in giving detailed information about how we would proceed so there was never any doubt, for example, in traffic about what to do. It helped that we had a beautiful day of sunshine with a slight breeze - perfect.
