Greg was an amazing guide!!! Super knowledgeable, thoughtful, funny and incredibly enthusiastic. Tour was fantastic, couldn't recommend it more. You get to see so much of the downtown area, hit all the highlights, and we will definitely be venturing back to check out a few spots. Greg even had a great list of restaurants, breweries, and books to check out! Great day!

A fantastic bike ride. Greg was an excellent guide, taking us through so many areas and had so much knowledge. He managed to keep a group of 10 together and kept everyone fully engaged from a moody 17 year old to a hung over dad (me). A really great day out and got to see the real heart of Vancouver. Thank you Greg and city cycles.

This is a great tour to do early on in your stay in Vancouver to get your bearings and understand the different areas and history of the town. Our guide Marion was very knowledgeable and provided information on history, flora and wildlife. It’s a relatively flat cycle (just a couple of small hills that you can choose to walk up) and there is a lot of stop/start, so suitable for all levels. Definitely helped us understand the key places to spend more time at over the coming days, during our stay.

This was a brilliant way to explore such a fantastic city. We were lucky enough to have Greg, our guide, all to ourselves. Greg was friendly, sensitive to our family’s needs (we had our autistic daughter with us who tends to interrupt with lots of questions!) and had lots of stories and facts which held our interest all day. Would recommend this tour to anyone looking to get to know Vancouver’s history and culture whilst making the most of Vancouver’s cycle friendly paths and routes. A real highlight of our trip!

A cloudy and partial rainy day made bright by this tour. Greg and his magic pants were simply amazing, personal, and genuine. Thank you Greg for sharing your city with us. We had a 5 hour private tour for 4 and enjoyed everything about it. I can not think of a better way to visit Vancouver!

Wow. What a fantastic tour and an amazing way to see Vancouver. Our guide was Greg who was an absolute goldmine of information as we wheeled around this beautiful city. He made the place come alive with his historical knowledge and anecdotes. The pace was very gentle with loads of stops and a full 45 minutes for lunch at Granville Island. Greg made sure we were all together throughout. 90% of the tour is on very well maintained cycle paths. Truly a great way to see the city. I’d give it ten stars if Tripadvisor allowed.

Frank was a great guide. The bikes were comfortable. The pace & time was just right. The sights & exploring Vancover like this is way better than walking. Despite some rain, I had the best time because they also had ponchos ready. I didn't get wet. I was also dressed appropriately for the weather. Highly recommended.
