We had the best time on this bike tour! Jeremy is super knowledgeable and we got to see a TON of the city - it covers a lot of ground at a manageable pace with plenty of time for photo stops. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.
