About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- bendyboyswoody0 contributionsFantastic way to see VancouverMy 18year old son & myself had a fabulous city cycle tour with Frank as our guide. We were blessed with a sunny day & with the grand tour we visited all the main sights. Definitely a great way to see the highlights of the city including Stanley Park.Written January 30, 2025
- mollym5730 contributionsExceptional tour!This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. Cycling is really the perfect way to experience Vancouver. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our guide Greg was outstanding! His knowledge of Vancouver and its history really made the tour special. I highly recommend this tour!Written January 20, 2025
- Simone J0 contributionsA must to see the city sites and learn about the historyVery informative and fun. Our tour guide Greg had excellent knowledge of the city and its sites making it fun and interesting. Great introduction to Vancouvers attractions and history…. From Stanley Park, to the bald headed eagle nest, to the indigenous background and mini Golden Gate Bridge. Greg’s stories and positive attitude made it entertaining for all ages, even our 16 year old daughter really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend!Written January 10, 2025
- kilabane0 contributionsGreat bike tour in VancouverWe had the greatest bicycle tour with our guide Nick. He was very friendly, and told us a lot about Vancouver on our trip around the city. There were a lot of stops on the way, and Nick had stories about both the ancient settlements and the future development of the city. How he managed to arrange 2 eagles to fly by us, while we had a stop near the harbor, and have the sun shinning all day, I don’t know, but it just made the trip even better. Thank you very much Nick for the best 5 hours (+ a little bit more because off all our questions) on a bicycle.Written January 9, 2025
- 245gregw0 contributionsChris at City Cycles is FantasticCan't recommend this city tour highly enough. Our guide, Chris was first class. Helpful, knowledgeable & patient, all the things you'd expect from a guide. We opted for the EBikes and we'll definitely be buying a couple for ourselves after this experience. One of the best city bike tours we've done!Written December 12, 2024
- 202catheriner0 contributionsMade my week.Thanks so much Cycle City and Greg! I had an amazing time learning about history, nature, art, culture. The bicycle ride was beautiful, safe and fun. 💚Written December 5, 2024
- lynnsP2406RZ0 contributionsGreat journey around VancouverWhat a great journey around the highlights of Vancouver ! Chris was awesome sharing his insights into Stanley Park, the harbor front, neighborhoods, Olympic Park and a break for lunch at Granville Island Public Market. My husband and I chose ebikes which made the tour easier and we appreciated the rain ponchos. The tour allowed us to explore and see more of Vancouver than we could have imagined on our own. Definitely recommend the cycle tour !Written November 12, 2024
- mkn20170 contributionsGrand Cycle Tour - Excellent TripThe Grand Tour was a fantastic way to see the main areas of Downtown Vancouver and Stanley Park Nick was a very knowledgable guide who provide interesting background and historical information throughout the trip Trip was very safe and most of it was on bike lanes and trails We would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting VancouverWritten November 4, 2024
- kevinhD8326CY0 contributionsVancouver overview on a bikeChris was extremely knowledgable and made the tour extraordinary and a wonderful view of Vancouver B.C. Thank you for an excellent cycling event! I will gladly recommend this tour to others.Written October 25, 2024
- mickimicki0 contributionsGreat Bike Tour of Vancouver - Do it!!!Had an amazing Grand Tour with German! It turned out to be a gloriously sunny day amidst a lot of rainy days, and had a wonderful experience bicycling around the city of Vancouver. Really loved all of Stanley Park, especially walking the bicycles into the park and taking some trails within the park to see some beautiful old growth tree's (1,000 years old!). The pace was good, not too fast, but not too slow, once our group wrapped any questions, we hopped back on and went on to the next stop. German was a top notch guide, he explained where we were going, what the history/backstory/etc. was of each stop and answered all of our questions with knowledge and thoughtfulness. I'd highly recommend him as a guide.Written October 21, 2024

- mitvanko0 contributionsEpic ride around Vancouver!Chris was a great tour guide! We highly recommend the Epic tour. Great ride through Stanley Park. I was surprised by how much of the rest of the city we were able to see by bike. The E-bikes made for easy peddling and not getting too tired. Chris gave some much appreciated information about the city as we stopped at prime locations. Thanks for a great day!Written October 20, 2024

- jerryaT8788ME0 contributionsOrganic ExperienceEpic bike city tour with Cycle City. My friends and I loved every min of it. Just a different and great way to take in the sights and sounds of a new city while cycling through it on a sunny day. The experience hits different and I felt how a resident would feel and just much more organic than a regular guided tour.Written October 16, 2024

Arrived at 9am on a Sunday in July without a reservation and within 30 mins we had filled out some forms, given fantastic guidance and tips for the route round Stanley Park, our bikes were adjusted to fit and off we went on our half day adventure round Stanley Park and Granville Island! The staff were professional, humorous and just a great bunch to deal with even though it was incredibly busy and pressurised. Would totally recommend this company.

We had a great experience with Cycle City and feel this is the best and most interesting way to see Vancouver. The bike paths are excellent and 90% of the time you are shielded from cars and pedestrians - super safe. We were our ~4 hours including a nice lunch on Granville Island.
I would encourage you to reserve/pay online - those who didn't waited in line quite awhile - this is a very popular activity!
The lock is a bit tricky and I recommend trying it yourself before leaving the shop.
Hands down the favourite part of our day!

Apart from having done the bike tour with them, Cycle City was nearby our hotel, so a great choice for us to rent a bike for a day ride around Vancouver on our own. Pricing is decent and bicycles are very comfortable. One some bicycles you could even get a basket to not have to carry your backpack or you have a little bag in front to put a camera etc. Very nice staff and helpful, that give you a map so you can find the bike lanes, giving tips on things to do, including the Aquabus. Worth considering if you're staying the centre of Vancouver and need a bike rental.

We had to make a deposit via our credit card of CAD 5000 (yes, five thousend dollar) for a city bike and an e-bike: CAD 1000 for an old worn our city bike and CAD 4000 for an average e-bike. Clearly deposits that are not in line with the value of the bikes. We had to sign an old fashioned credit card sales form but they refused to give us the customer copy:’ dont worry, we will not use the money’.
So if you do not have CAD 5000 spent remaining on your credit card, or are afraid they charge you this unreasonable deposit, dont hire your bikes here!

Thank you for your feedback, though perhaps there has been a misunderstanding about the deposit. This is not feedback we typically receive.
$5000 was not charged to your card, we hold a slip on file as collateral as a security method in the event that a customer does not return with their bikes. Our staff should have given you the customer copy or the slip upon your return. The 2023 Norco Scene VLT that you rented has a retail value of $3,999+tax and the Breezer Downtown 7 retails for $1,099+tax CAD.
We hope you had a great ride!

FANTASTIC time. I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed this bike tour. We saw soooo many sites, got great exercise (very invigorating but not overly difficult). We had a great group of participants. And last but not least our GUIDE! George was by far the most knowledgable and charming guide we have ever had the pleasure to follow on the many excursions we have taken in our travels. He was personable, a native well acquainted with the city, and so genuine. He treated every person and question with respect, had a great sense of humor, and was very attentive to our safety as we negotiated the city on bikes. LOVED it. HIghly recommend it.

Visited Vancouver with my teenage son in February 2025.
He had identified Cycle city as a good place to hire bikes.
Found stuff helpful with hiring bikes and ensuring we had correct helmets etc.
It was a cold day and the shop sold a good range of buffs which were a good purchase to try and keep warm.
Maps provided which helped us navigate city.
The harbour and Stanley Park were a great place to cycle round.

We rented bikes for a half day of cycling when visiting Vancouver. The bikes were in good condition and everyone we dealt with at Cycle City were very helpful. We were thoroughly impressed with the extensive bike path system—you can ride for hours and the views are magnificent.

First off, Vancouver is super bike friendly. Bike lanes everywhere and the drivers seem very aware of cyclists. Everyone at the shop was very nice and readily answered questions even though they were super busy. Prices for bike rentals are reasonable and the bikes are well maintained. They provided a map with routing to all the popular sights in the city. This is a must if visiting Vancouver.

My family and I did the Grand Tour with Harley today. What an amazing way to see the city! The dedicated bike lanes make it so easy to bike around the city. Harley was so knowledgeable and made the tour so interesting with his stories. The pace of the ride was great for everyone as well. And Harley’s recommendations for Vancouver were much appreciated. Definitely recommend doing this tour and seeing the city in this unique way!

How long does the $38.50 bike tour go for?
Written January 26, 2019
hi,
We didn't book a guided or escorted tour; we hired the bicycles for half a day & toured Stanley Park at our leisure. The main areas are easy to navigate & cycle paths are everywhere.
I am not a regular cyclist but found it easy & enjoyable.

I have a couple of friends that are moving to Vancouver and would like to give them this tour as a gift, so that they get to know the city. I dont know when they will be able to take the tour, but I see that in order to buy the tickets I need to select a date. Can the tour be re-scheduled?

Perhaps you could give them a certificate or note and let them tell you the date to reserve?
