We booked it online and really did not know what to expect but from the first Lady that greeted us and helped us work through putting on the float jacket and filling out all the paperwork she was just super nice very patient. It was well organized clean and we had a great time.

We highly recommend this tour! Vancouver is beautiful! Our tour guide Alex was very informative, knowledgeable and fun to be with. Our kids had a lot of fun. The bus was big enough for the whole group and we were all comfortable in it. 5 stars!

Was on the fence about this one, but so glad I went. It was a blast, tour guide, Elias, was funny and informative.

Such a wonderful experience. Wear the suit as it does get windy and cold even in the summer.

Very great tour and Capilano bridge was incredible!!
