“This was an excellent overview of the city of Vancouver. Best taken at the start of your visit to get the lie of the land and to put the city as a whole into context. The best thing was going over The Lion Bridge to suburbs beyond where people really do live, rather than just the tourist sites. Hamed was very friendly and happy to answer all our questions, of which I had many.”
