The white sails of Canada Place and the Vancouver skyline seen from the harbour

Vancouver City Tour

A relaxed, complete first look at the city — from the seawall and forest of Stanley Park to the cobblestone streets of Gastown.

City Tour

If it's your first time in Vancouver, this is the tour to start with. In about six hours you'll understand how the city fits together: how downtown sits between the ocean and the mountains, why every neighbourhood has such a different personality, and where it's worth coming back to later.

Unlike a tour bus, this day belongs only to your group. We pick you up at your hotel, adjust the order of stops based on weather and traffic, and stop wherever you like — including that lookout you spot along the way.

It's our most popular itinerary with Brazilian families: an easy pace, plenty of short stops, restrooms and coffee always nearby, and a guide who explains everything in Portuguese, no rush at all.

What a typical day looks like

  1. Hotel pickup

    We depart from your hotel or apartment in downtown Vancouver in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. If you're staying in Richmond, Burnaby or North Vancouver, we can pick you up there too — just let us know in advance.

  2. Stanley Park

    Canada's most famous urban park. We loop the seawall, stop at the Indigenous totem poles at Brockton Point, and head up to Prospect Point for open views of the Lions Gate Bridge and the North Shore mountains.

  3. Canada Place and the waterfront

    The white sails that became the city's symbol, the cruise ship terminal, and a walk along the harbour — a great spot for your first photos with the skyline behind you.

  4. Gastown

    Vancouver's oldest neighbourhood, with cobblestone streets, design shops and the famous steam clock. Time to walk around, browse the shops and grab a coffee.

  5. Granville Island

    Lunch stop at the Public Market, one of the best places to eat in the city: fresh seafood, bakeries, local producers and craft studios. Lunch is on your own, and we'll point you to the best spots.

  6. False Creek, Science World and Yaletown

    We loop around the inlet with views of Science World's geodesic dome, pass by Olympic Village, and drive through Yaletown, the former warehouse district turned into the city's trendiest neighbourhood.

  7. English Bay and return

    Last stop at English Bay Beach to watch the sunset begin over the Pacific, then back to your hotel around 3:30 pm.
