Fantastic bike tour of Vancouver
ezahniser23, 11-10-2022
This was a fantastic bike tour. We saw so many cool parts of the city, and I especially appreciated Jeremy's thoughtful and balanced discussion of many of the social issues that Vancouver is dealing with in the present day. Informative, enjoyable, and thorough. Highly recommend!
Best way to see Vancouver

Jeremy was a top-notch bicycle tour guide. Went at our pace and included everything in the city tour. Made sure we were well equipped and comfortable.
Dragon and Steam Bike Tour
macleadv2022, 19-09-2022
On September 8 2022, my wife and I traveled to Vancouver and included the Dragon and Steam Bike Tour in our plans.
Equipment - The equipment supplied was a sturdy bike of various types of bikes from step through, hybrid, cruisers, and road bike to choose from. The bikes were equipped with a bell. Water-bottle holder, a front basket and a bicycle helmet, if needed.
Tour – The tour was arranged to visit the site listed on the itinerary, in such a way that the tour traveled mostly on bike paths, streets with bike lanes and on low volume streets, with limited interaction with the normal city vehicle traffic. I would classify this as a Tour of Historical Sites of Vancouver.
Tour Guide- Jeremy was a very knowledge about the sites visited with group stops to give insight and relative information about each site. He also seemed to have a high priority on the safety of the tour participants.
We were very satisfied with the tour and strongly recommend this tour as a way to get to know the city.
I recommend it!

Jeremy was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was very enjoyable. I particularly liked going through the parks and hearing city history.
Interesting and easy bike tour
teresamA9433CD, 12-09-2022
I enjoyed this bike tour. Jeremy provided interesting insights about Vancouver, both historical and zeitgeist. The bike was very comfortable, ideal for touring. The ride was very easy, mostly flat and slow-paced.It would be great to see even a small part of Stanley Park rather than Strathcona and less time in Chinatown - personal preference though.
