Pre Cruise Vancouver Highlights

Great Vancouver, BC tour in September 2023
October 30, 2023
Great tour to see Vancouver before a cruise. Hotel pickup was prompt. Did a quick realignment to get all like-tours together, then off we went. Stanley Park was so beautiful and Granville Island was a fun stop. Glad there was time to shop. We were dropped off at the cruise port to get on the ship with no wait. Driver was wonderful too. Would highly recommend.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. They picked us up at our hotel and took us to meet our tour guide. He was very entertaining and his knowledge of Vancouver was great. We had the best time visiting the Public Market on Granville Island. After the tour, we were delivered right to the cruise terminal. Would definitely recommend.

We wanted to see a little of Vancouver before our cruise. This was the perfect way to see the city and catch a ride to the cruise ship—they took our luggage and the next time we saw it was in our room. The driver was informative—highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour with a knowledgeable guide
December 04, 2019
Perfect way to transition from a one night hotel stay in Vancouver to a Carnival cruise. We were picked up at our hotel, taken on a wonderful tour of the city, and then taken directly to our ship at the port, where our luggage was delivered previously, and waiting for us in our cabin. Our tour guide was excellent, as well as a personal friend of Michael Buble. Five stars all the way!!!

We were very happy with our tour. Daniel picked us up early and looked after our baggage. He was really a perfect person for his job. Andrew was very very well informed about the area and did a marvellous job of keeping us all together. The highlight was the tour up the revolving tower. Your tour covered all the highlights of Vancouver.

We were very happy we did this tour since we only had a partial day in Vancouver. Offers all of the highlights with very educational info from our guide. Vancouver, BC is a beautiful and very clean city. Impressive history. He got us to the ship at 2:30, luggage delivered before our arrival and was in our stateroom as promised. We literally had no lines to wait and walked right on as promised! Awesome service!

Good basic tour of the city
September 01, 2019
This was a lovely pre-cruise excursion around Vancouver that allowed us to see some of the major inner-city sites. It was interesting & informative. My mother has mobility issues, and the crew were very accommodating. They picked us up at the hotel and dropped us off at port as promised. My only complaint is that we were the first ones picked up in the morning and spend nearly 2 hours picking up other passengers before the tour began.

Vancouver City Highlights Tour
August 22, 2019
This tour was a good overview of the city for someone who had never been to Vancouver previously. Our tour guide who's name was Haden (I think) was very informative about the history of the area. Unfortunately due to delays in picking up other passengers all the traffic in and around the area, we could not spend much time at each stop. By the time we got to Granville Island we only had about 30 minutes to explore the area. The area was congested with visitors and getting into shops or restaurants was not at all easy. Unfortunately we didn't have time to do much of anything, not even to get something to eat other than some ice cream. One positive note was that we were transported directly to the port to board our ship for our cruise to Alaska.

What a way to start
August 21, 2019
We were picked up at our hotel on time in a luxury van. Only 4 of us to start. Our guide advised us we needed ship tags and arranged to pick them up and deliver them to us before the day was over....No worries!. We joined a group of 8 others and larger van for a fabulous tour of the city, several photo stops, Stanley Park, where our original driver attached the proper tags, lunch at the incredible art/food market then finally the tower. Arrived at the ship with perfect timing. No lines, and no rush to get aboard. Both guides were fun and informative. I'd do this again in a heartbeat. Re the tags: I called the cruise line as the emailed paper tags were just too flimsy. The response: "You won't need any as our agents will apply them when you get to the dock." Wrong - there are no agents on the dock. We were very fortunate to have our knowledgeable, accommodating guide.

The Grenville Island and Stanley Park were great also.

Fun whirlwind tour of Vancouver
September 10, 2018
This was our first visit to Vancouver and in four-plus hours had a pretty good lay of the land. We visited Harbour Center and rode the elevator to the lookout deck for an unobstructed view of the metropolitan area. We went to the Granville Island Public Market after a quick drive through the central business district as well as downtown residential neighborhood. Then we were off to Stanley Park where we saw the inner harbor, Prospect Point and Lion's Gate bridge. We had ample time at each location to walk around and see the sights. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable answering questions as fast as they were thrown at him. The small tour bus was clean and comfortable, we were picked up at our hotel on schedule and taken to our cruise ship at the end. They had a separate bus pick up our luggage at the hotel and it was waiting in our cabin on the ship when we arrived! The whole experience was pleasant and we recommend it especially to first time visitors.

My wife and I enjoyed the pre-Cruise Tour of Vancouver. Great way to see the city from high in the Vancouver Tour to the streets of the fabulous food and shopping markets. The Tour driver dropped us off right where we boarded the ship. The Tour operator would also handle putting our luggage on the ship (a service we did not use because the hotel we spent the previous night also provided that service). Recommend this tour to anyone who wants a quick overview of Vancouver and convenient transfer to the cruise ship.

Pre Cruise Vancouver Highlights
November 08, 2017
This is the perfect pre-cruise excursion! We came into Vancouver a couple of days ahead of our cruise to visit friends, and stayed at a hotel near the airport. We called the day before and were told the time they would pick us up. Everything went as described. Our luggage was collected and delivered to the ship by another minibus. We were taken around Vancouver for a 3-hour tour. It was wet and windy, but umbrellas were provided, and we braved the weather at each of the stops. We stopped for lunch at Granville Island. Other stops were at Stanley Park and the Vancouver Lookout, where I got to take a picture of our ship at Canada Place! It was so cool!

We were going on a cruise and wanted to see the city of Vancouver. The tour was an excellent way to see Vancouver in a few hours. Extra perk is the pick up at your hotel and drop off at the cruise ship. The tour guide arranged for our luggage to be sent ahead so it was already in our ship state room upon arrival. Totally stress free and the tour covered many of Vancouver's famous sites. If you only have a short time in Vancouver, I recommend this tour.

The luggage was in our stateroom when we boarded the ship--that was a great inclusion in this tour.

An wonderful informative way to spend your morning before boarding our cruise ship. The best part is they pick up your luggage and you do not see it again until you get in your cabin.
