Vancouver Highlights Small-Group Bike Tour With Stanley Park
Begin your bike tour in central Vancouver. Meet your guide and small group, and receive a quick safety briefing before setting off on on two wheels. Along the way, stop for great photo ops, get insider tips, and learn insider stories about Vancouver’s colorful history. Head to Stanley Park, and wind through a section of the remarkable 1,000-acre (405-hectare) green space. Be rewarded by splendid vistas of the city skyline, the North Shore Mountains and Mount Baker (on a clear day). Next, head over to Granville Island. Here, enjoy free time to stroll explore the Public Market—bursting with colorful produce and artisan goods—and grab lunch (own expense). Then head along False Creek, through Olympic Village for stunning views of Vancouver's skyline. Your tour concludes with a trip through Chinatown and then Gastown, the city’s historic logging outpost turned chic shopping and entertainment district. Arrive back at the bike rental shop by mid-afternoon.
