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!
