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.

We had a fantastic afternoon with Jeremy, a proud Vancouverite and our trusty guide. Due to time constraints he was very accommodating but still made sure we got a very good idea of the city and all of its fantastic neighbourhoods and history. Jeremy was very personable and shared stories with us...

Jeremy was very personable and shared stories with us and was patient with our pace and our questions. We really enjoyed this tour and would highly recommend! The best way to see the city really is on two wheels :-)Helen B

A fantastic bike tour with a very knowledgable guide. Jeremy showed us parts of Vancouver which we would never have found ourselves. Great quality bikes and the length and pace of the riding was just right. Wish we had had more time in Vancouver to do another tour. Great value and highly recommen...
