Stanley Park – 1 hour

Explore this 405-hectare coastal rainforest—one of North America’s largest urban parks. Stanley Park is mostly surrounded by the waters of Burrard Inlet and English Bay. You’ll drive along the scenic seawall, stop at the famous Totem Poles, and enjoy photo ops at viewpoints like Prospect Point. Optionally, visit the Vancouver Aquarium, home to over 50,000 marine animals, including sea otters, jellyfish, and turtles. The aquarium also leads critical research and conservation initiatives.

Coal Harbour – 30 minutes

This modern, upscale neighborhood is lined with glass skyscrapers and a scenic seawall. From here, you can watch floatplanes take off, see multimillion-dollar yachts, and enjoy sweeping views of Stanley Park across the water. Coal Harbour is the perfect blend of urban vibrancy and coastal beauty.

Gastown – 45 minutes

Step into Vancouver’s oldest neighborhood, where cobblestone streets meet historic charm. Snap a photo with the Steam Clock, a marvel of engineering powered by steam. Learn about Gassy Jack, the area’s colorful founder, and browse through fashion boutiques, galleries, and international eateries.

Yaletown – 30 minutes

Once an industrial warehouse district, Yaletown has transformed into one of Vancouver’s trendiest neighborhoods. Explore award-winning patios, boutique shops, and cafes. You can also visit the Roundhouse Community Centre, home to Engine 374, the first train to arrive in Vancouver.

Waterfront Park – 20 minutes

A serene green space ideal for a light stroll or fresh air. Watch joggers and locals soaking in the views across Burrard Inlet. This park offers a slower pace, perfect for recharging during your city exploration.

Bloedel Conservatory (Optional) – 30 minute

Experience the magic of nature under a glass dome at this tropical oasis. Walk among exotic birds and rare plants from around the world. The conservatory is a peaceful escape for plant lovers, families, or anyone seeking a quiet moment surrounded by beauty.

Vancouver Overview

Shannon was an amazingly knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. We were trying to figure out what to do on a rainy day in Vancouver and came across this gem. We could not have been happier with Shannon. She picked us up at the exact time, was open to our agenda and preferences, and knew so much about the many neighbourhoods and the diversity of the City. The parks were pretty even in the rain and Shannon went out of her way to ensure we had the best day possible. As she said, be grateful for every experience. We all felt we really got to know the city thanks because she has lived in many neighbourhoods and could show us the many areas and cultures.

Good experience

Great way to spend a few hours to see the city if you’re stopping for a few hours on a cruise. They came to pick us with our luggages from the port and very friendly in taking us round the city before they dropped us off at the airport. It cost slightly more than half day tours in the other cities despite this the pace of the tour and the general experience was good.
