Vancouver Sightseeing

What You Can Expect

On this luxury and family-friendly tour, get to know the places in Vancouver with your family in an intimate setting. This is a great way for first-time visitors and visitors short on time to get a great overview of the city.

After picking you up from your Vancouver hotel, your tour leader will give you a comprehensive tour of Vancouver's major attractions and highlights, such as Stanley Park, Chinatown, Gastown, and Granville Park. Travel to Queen Elizabeth Park for stunning views of downtown Vancouver and the North Shore mountains. Here, you'll take pictures and capture fond memories with your loved ones from the city's highest point.

• Stanley Park – The emerald jewel set in the heart of our city. Stanley Park is a 1000-acre playground with stunning city views, mountain backdrops, and the salty smell of the Pacific Ocean. Enjoy a stop at the totem poles and get an iconic photo of the sails of Canada Place and the glass and steel towers of Coal Harbour.
• English Bay – Drive out of the park and along the city’s urban beaches of English Bay. Get a real sense of how fortunate the locals are with access to seaside walks, astounding views, and ocean beaches. This is why we love living here! Lucky guests may even spot a couple of our resident bald eagles or great blue herons hunting by these shores.
• Gastown – This is where it all started, on the shores of the Burrard Inlet – Gassy Jack Deighton laid the foundation of this great west coast city. See Maple Tree Square, Vancouver’s oldest architecture, and the world famous steam powered clock.
• Chinatown – Developed at the turn of the last century by Chinese immigrants from California and China, who came to work the gold mines and railroad. Chinatown today is a bustling reminder of where we’ve come from and where we are heading. Great restaurants, shopping, and interesting architecture (like the world’s thinnest building), all for your senses to feast upon.
• Granville Island – This tiny peninsula is a hotbed for good food and great art. Spend time browsing artisan workshops or get some great food and even better views waterside at the Granville Island Public Market.
