Amazing tour of Vancouver by boat from Granville Island. So interesting to see the sites and beautiful homes, and learn some history and trivia about the city and its surroundings. And we even got to see seals. And lucky we had the warm suits to stay cozy and dry!

We enjoyed it immensely!! We were running a little late and they waited for us to arrive. They explained what to expect very well and made sure we were safe. Our tour guide was so amazing and knowledgeable. My son and I want to do this again and again.
