“Daniel was a gem!”
I’m from Montreal, and visiting my son who lives and works in Surrey. We are spending a weekend enjoying the city centre and this tour was a wonderful start to our fun. Daniel, our guide, made it so warm and brought sunshine via his personality through the rain. Though he has only been in Canada for two years, his passion and care for this part of the country was very evident, as he passed on some history and much insight into Vancouver cultures and landscapes. He gave us some indoor breaks to sit for a few minutes out of the rain and a longer one to get a snack. It was such a pleasure to meet such a nice gentleman and the other tourists who were also warm and friendly. Thank you so very much again, Daniel!

“City overview ”
An interesting overview of several blocks in downtown Vancouver, some history and stories about the area. Standing in one spot for the first 30 minutes, while we heard how much we should tip and why, then heard about city history was long (especially when we arrived 10 minutes early - as requested- AND waited until 5 after to begin the tour). Maybe a brief intro and get us walking would work better. Erica knew lots of info and could answer our questions.

“Best guide ever Redwuan”
Red worm is so informative. He kept us interested for the whole 3 hours going from one place to another and added his own personal information. That was I'm sure a lot more above and beyond what I've ever experienced in our free City tour before it was absolutely exceptional.

Erica was a great tour guide! She was engaging and showed so much interest and explained clearly and patiently!
Absolutely enjoyed the tour!
One suggestion to company - maybe after the tour or as part of the tour itself the guide and tour group can visit a local favourite cafe and socialise.

And we loved his enthusiasm for this beautiful city that we were experiencing for the first time. It was also a treat to exercise our land legs after 10 days on an Alaskan cruise. I enjoyed the architectural highlights but would also have enjoyed a basic history lesson about the origin of the city.

“Probably one of the worst walking tours I've been on”
I've been to many walking tours all around the world and I don't think I've ever been this disengaged/dissatisfied with it. Firstly, the guide was late for 30mins and we only found out when we reached out to the contact center. They should have informed us and many of us ended up waiting aimlessly for a while.
The guide, Conrad, turned up and didn't really apologise. And the reason he was late was because he forgot he was on schedule and kind of blamed it on the company.
And this should be a talking tour instead of a walking tour as Conrad really loves talking. Case in point, he gave a 20mins monologue on the history of vancouver which I'm not sure who was listening to anyway. It was clear people were disinterested but he went on and on anyway.
And at the Cathedral stop, he left earlier than the scheduled time and he left without even doing a count to make sure everyone was present. In the end, one family was kind of left behind and had to play catch up! I think he has failed in his primary responsibility as a guide.
I am not sure how long Conrad has been doing this but I will definitely not want to be on another guided tour with him

“Good but could be better”
The content was historically interesting and gave great insight on vancouver but there was less useful info for visiting Toronto. The guide got us to introduce each other but beyond that did little to create an atmosphere. The guide was friendly and helpful but her accent made it a little tricky to understand parts of the tour. The poor microphone didn't help.

“Correcto”
Erika, la guia cumplió nuestra espectativa. Sus explicaciones eran concisas y concretas.
La presentación fue demasiado larga, cosa que ocasionó que el tour empezara 20-25 minutos más tarde.
En resumen, ideal para tener una primera aproximación a la ciudad de Vancouver.

“A good way to get your bearings of Vancouver”
We had a lovely day for our tour. Konrad was a good guide and full of knowledge. Some of his tips felt a little more suited to locals (tips for driving) but we covered a lot of ground and still got lots of background on Vancouver. Id liked to have heard some things about living in Vancouver these days; highlights of the city in terms of events etc. Highlight was the stunning Marine Art Deco building. Thanks Konrad!

“Peor de lo esperado ”
La guía al principio de acercarnos nos dijo que no aparecíamos en la lista todo y que teníamos la confirmación por mail, al comenzar nos dijo que la visita valía 30dolares por persona cosa que nos pareció de poca profesionalidad ya que en Toronto hace unos días hicimos con la misma empresa otra visita guiada y la propina para el guía era voluntaria. No nos pareció de ser un profesional pedirle a los usuarios de la visita guiada un precio establecido ya que la empresa mantiene como su nombre dice Free tours, nos pareció que podríamos estar siendo estafados por la guía Erika.

“It was OK”
Overal the tour was ok. Sometimes it was difficult to hear the guide, due to traffic. In my opinion we spend too much time at certain places with too long uninteresting story telling. What I dislike most is the guide indicating the price of the tip they are expecting (30 CAD) and ending the tour at an ATM. If it is named a free tour then just tell your audience it is tip based and let them pay what they think it is worth to them.

Our guide was full of enthusiasm and it made me really excited to walk around Vancouver. He made it pleasant despite incessant rain!

I thought the amount that was suggested was above what I was expecting to spend.
