Great Tour of the City
My wife and I had a day after our cruise to spend in Vancouver. They were flexible with the start time based on when we got off the ship and then Ricky picked us up in a Cadillac Escalade and took us around in style. He explained that city as we drove and took us through the city. All in all it was a great way to experience the city. I recommend the tour to anyone.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review Ken.We’re so glad you enjoyed your 6-hour private Vancouver tour and that Ricky made your experience comfortable and enjoyable. It was a pleasure showing you around Vancouver, and we truly appreciate the recommendation Regards Team Vanlimo

Great service!
Great way when to see Vancouver with limited time. Our driver picked us up on time and took us all around the city. He modified the schedule to fit our “likes”. He was patient and kind when we took longer than expected at one stop. He gave us the freedom to walk around each stop so we could explore. Keep in mind that this is a private driver just for you! We feel it was well worth the price when you take into account that the driver is very familiar with the city, will park and be accessible as needed when you explore the sites. We enjoyed this service so much that we hired them to drive us to the airport the next day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the positive feedback Monique. We are glad that our service was top to your expectations and you enjoyed your city tour. We look forward to provide you our services next time you are in Vancouver. Thank you for using our service. Regards Ricky

Perfect day in Vancouver
We only had one day to see Vancouver and this tour was a great way to spend our time. Our group of 7 was picked up at the airport in a van that easily accommodated us and lots of luggage. What a convenience to be able to keep our luggage with us until hotel check-in. The planned stops were fun and interesting for a group with varied ages. We did not feel rushed and saw a lot in 6 hours. Ricky was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable of the city. We especially enjoyed lunch in the market - so many choices of great food and pastries. Overall, we could not have found a better option for our one day in this amazing city.
Response from the operator: Thank you Gary. We are glad that you enjoyed the city tour. It was pleasure to meet you all. We look forward to provide you our services next time you are in Vancouver. Thank you for choosing our services next and positive feedback. Regards Ricky

Our family of 5 adults had a great time w Tour Guide Ricky. We just got off the Royal Carribbean Cruise from Alaska and it was a terrific tour to extend our trip. Guide was prompt and knew exactly where to pick us up from at the dock. Canopy walk was excellent, gondola ride was also excellent as well as the market.
Response from the operator: Thank you Janet for using our service and positive feedback. We are glas that our service was up to your expectations. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family and show you our beautiful city. Thank you so much. Regards Ricky

6 Hours Private tour of city of Vancouver & North Vancouver: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.
How much does 6 Hours Private tour of city of Vancouver & North Vancouver cost?
+
Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 6 Hours Private tour of city of Vancouver & North Vancouver take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver is not rushed.
Is 6 Hours Private tour of city of Vancouver & North Vancouver worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 40 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 6 Hours Private tour of city of Vancouver & North Vancouver?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 6 Hours Private tour of city of Vancouver & North Vancouver suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 6 Hours Private tour of city of Vancouver & North Vancouver?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 6 Hours Private tour of city of Vancouver & North Vancouver start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vancouver?
+
On Outty we rank every Vancouver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout, Epic Electric Bike Tour of Vancouver, Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola, & Shannon Falls Tour from Vancouver. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vancouver?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vancouver?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
