Take a 3-hour morning bike tour of Stanley Park and Downtown Vancouver. Pedal on bike paths, along the Vancouver seawall and down forest trails. The tour starts in the West End, moves through downtown to the Convention Centre and follows the shoreline of Coal Harbour to Stanley Park. The second half of the tour focuses on the history and art of the native peoples of the Pacific Northwest and the natural beauty of Stanley Park.
Begin your tour in Vancouver's West End. You're supplied with a bicycle, a helmet and a lock, and you'll get a full review of the bike's operating components and a quick safety lesson before leaving.
After a short hill, reach the Davie Street Village, the most colorful neighborhood in the city and the site of Vancouver's Pride Festival. A block away from Davie Street, visit the Mole Hill Community, the largest collection of heritage homes in the city.
Traveling exclusively on bike lanes, you're guided to Robson Square, the heart of the downtown core. After a quick walk around, get back on the bike lanes and pedal to the waterfront area, stopping in front of the Vancouver Convention Centre. Your guide will tell you the history of the buildings before moving on to Jack Poole Plaza and the Olympic Cauldron.
Make your way to the Vancouver seawall, a 13.5-mile (22-km) path around the exterior of the city that offers picturesque views of the local mountains and the city's towering skyline. The seawall is divided into cycling and walking paths for the safety of everyone.
After a distance of 1.25 miles (2 km) along the seawall, reach Stanley Park. After a quick stop at Lost Lagoon, the park's serene bird sanctuary, return to the seawall for the 5-mile (8-km) loop around the outside of the park.
Stanley Park highlights:
Totem Poles
Brockton Point
Girl in the Wetsuit/Empress of Japan
Beaver Creek Path / Beaver Lake
Prospect Point/Lion's Gate Bridge

Conclude your tour at English Bay with the smiling faces of Yu Minjun's inspirational work, A-Maze-Ing Laughter.

Jeremy made the tour fun for the entire family...imcluding our 12 year old daughter. Much more interactive and fun than we were expecting and learned a great deal about the history in Vancouver. Highly recommend!

The tour was amazing! Jeremy was an excellent guide. He knew so much about the city, its history, and all the interesting points. He also took his time and let us stop when we needed to. He brought along water and snacks for us which we didn't expect. I recommend this tour, especially with Jeremy as a guide, to anyone who wants to see downtown Vancouver and enjoy the loop around Stanley Park on bike. Thank you Jeremy!

Fantastic trip! Our guide Jeremy was excellent--he kept things interesting for the 11 year old boy, 14 year old girl, and the mid-40 parents. It was not too strenuous, and at the end of the tour we felt we had an intimate and quality tour of the city and Stanley Park. Highly recommend!

I booked this tour and it took a while to confirm because the original date we requested wasn't available. I asked for an alternate date and received confirmation, not realizing a different date had been booked instead. I showed up a day earlier than the booking confirmation but the employees at the bike shop were very helpful and called Jeremy to see if he would be available to take us immediately, instead of the next day. We ate breakfast next door and 15 minutes later, he had arrived.

How was our Bike Tour - good question. You never sent us a voucher. Your website shows our excursion as pending and I now have to go to VISA and undo payment to you. On this one you are a complete FAIL. But, the Listel Hotel told us where to go and what to do and it was cheaper per person than your advertised trip.. I assume Viator is a subsid of TripAdvisor. It needs work. No one/way to contact anyone about the status of our voucher. All e-mails are Do Not Reply Very very unsatisfactory.
