I went on the Towers and Totems tour with Jeremy on July 21st, and it was everything I was looking for and so much more. His tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Vancouver, and should be on everyone’s “must do” list.
I have been on other bike tours where the tour leader buzzes you about the city you are visiting, and stops briefly to deliver some well practiced sound bite from a sterile script before jetting off to the next highlighted location on their map. In contrast, Jeremy guided us through the busy streets along a carefully selected route of city bike paths, and gave us what seemed like a one of a kind tour skillfully tailored to us. We cycled at a comfortable pace, and he was never too rushed to answer our questions, or share stories about the true history of Vancouver; the good, the bad, and the ugly.
If you want a bike tour that feels more like a cultural experience, and leaves you with the feeling that you understand the city of Vancouver a little better, then Jeremy is your man. You will not be disappointed.

"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" - love it! Every city has its underbelly, which is just as important as its shiny top side. Thank you for sharing your review. So glad I was able to enhance your visit to Vancouver. Thanks John! Please give us a ring if you are ever back in town and we can take you on our afternoon tour.

We walked by their store by fluke and saw they had a couple of e-bikes available. We were promptly greeted by a friendly lady who took the time to answer all our questions. We had no plans and based on the servicr decided to rent the 2 e-bikes. We had a great time being tourists in our home town. Through Stanley Park and over the Lions' Gate Bridge, back to Stanley Park to English Bay, across to Gastown via Canada Place and back to the store in a couple of hours. Again we were efficiently dealt with when we returned the bikes. Based on our experience we will recommend them to out of town guests in the future.

This tour was the highlight of our first trip to Vancouver! Jeremy is the best tour guide I have ever experienced in any service. He makes each biker feel acknowledged, safe and included. Jeremy provides knowledge about the culture, art, and history of the city-while being respectful and open of all people. Thank you Jeremy and to everyone at Vancouver Bike Tours!

I’m so glad my Aunty recommended Jeremy’s tours to me, it was a brilliant way to end my 6 weeks in Canada. I did the towers and totems morning bike tour, I wasn’t sure what to expect as I hadn’t ridden a bike in a while, but the tour was so smooth with beautiful scenery all around. Jeremy goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is well informed with fun facts & gets the most of out exploring Vancouver. I would recommend this way of exploring the city to everyone, you see it in a totally different way, thank you Jeremy 🤩

This was a fun & informative cycle through downtown Vancouver & Stanley park. Jeremy , our guide, made us feel more like friends as he shared his knowledge with us. Great viewing of Beaver lodge & vegetation/ growth to this special area. Hiring a bike separately would not have been as beneficial. I am not a regular cyclist but felt very comfortable on this tour with a bike that was well checked out and with the benefit of a good leader.
Well done..👍

We did the morning Tower to Totems tour with Jeremy, and our family of 7 (aged 11-45) couldn't have been happier. Vancouver is the perfect city for a bike tour and the best thing is that you see all of the highlights from the downtown, to the waterfront, to Stanley Park in a fun, relaxing, and time-efficient way. Also, Vancouver Bike Tours' prices are lower than competitive bike tours. Two thumbs up!

An amazing way to experience Vancouver and really get a lay of the land. Not only is it really informative, and a fantastic way to see a lot of the city in a relatively short amount of time, Jeremy's a great guide, showing a lot of little secrets that bigger companies would skip over.

We have just returned from a holiday in Canada and one of our top highlights was the cycle tour of Vancouver.
Our tour started from the rental office and took us everywhere including Stanley Park, Granville Island and Gastown. In one afternoon we saw so much of Vancouver, far more than you could cover on foot and at a far more intimate level than a bus tour can offer.
Our guide Jeremy (who I believe conducts all of the tours) was extremely knowledgable and very personable. I thoroughly recommend this tour to all, you do not need anything beyond a basic fitness level as most is on the flat.

Hi Jeremy,
I'm coming to Vancouver next week for a conference, and I'd really love to join the bike tour from downtown to Stanley park on 14th Tuesday afternoon. However I couldn't book it since I was prompted that the minimum number is 2.
Is there anything I could do? Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply, the weather is quite mild in September. We often experience late summer temperatures, the occasional spot of light precipitation and smaller crowds.

Hi,
What age children is this tour suitable for? I have two children ages 9 and 11 that I would like to take on this tour. Would you recommend this tour for my kids? Do you have rental bikes that would fit them? Do you think they could handle both the morning and afternoon tours or just one?
Thanks for any insight that you can provide,
V
Written July 24, 2015
Hi V,
We definitely have bikes that will fit your children. A private family tour would be the best option. Together we can discuss the length of the ride. We can also be flexible on the day of. If you email us directly we can workout the details.
-Thank you Susan and Carolyn for your comments. That was so kind of you to take the time to respond. I hope you both have a wonderful summer. -Jeremy

Hi Jeremy
Thanks. This is my first visit to Vancouver and would look forward to enjoying my time with you and the cycling team going around the great beautiful city.
I would like to take both the tours on the same day. Just few more queries.
1. I would be staying in the Pinnacle Vancouver Harbourfront Hotel, W Hastings St. Where should i come to join the gang.
2. Will cycling shorts and Tee would do or will it be cold and i need to attire more than just a tee and cycling shorts.
3. I am a 100% Vegetarian. Would i be able to buy some food (even fruits would do) during our trip or should i have to pack and come in the morning.
4. What time does the tour commence in the morning and when does it end in the evening (i am taking both the tours)
Best Wishes
Ramesh
Written June 22, 2015
Hi Ramesh,
1. All of our tours start and finish at English Bay Bike Rentals at 1754 Davie Street. It is important that you show up 15 minutes before your tour begins for bicycle sizing.
2. Cycling shorts are not needed, but you can definitely wear them for a little extra padding. A t-shirt is recommended, but maybe bring a pullover just in case.
3-4 The tour in the morning starts at 9:30 a.m. and ends at 1:00 p.m. You have a chance to grab something to eat before the next tour starts at 2:00 p.m. This tour concludes at 5:30 p.m. There are a number of restaurants in the area for something quick. There is also a grocery store up the block where you could buy a salad or some fruit.
To book your tour please visit our website.
(Apparently TripAdvisor won't let me include a link...)
Thanks,

Hi Jeremy
Thanks for the feedback on my query towards timing and distance yesterday. I am coming over to Vancouver from India and will have time full day on 4th Jul'2015 (Saturday) and 9th (Thursday) Jul'2015. I would like to take the bike tour on any one of these days. Is the price quoted for the tour in the website, including Bike hiring cost also. Can you please clarify so that i could go ahead and book the same on the net
Thanks
Written June 22, 2015
Hi Ramesh,
The tours are $30 and the rental is $25. If you take both tours on the same day you only pay once for the rental.
ex:
Towers and Totems - $55
Creekside - $55
Both tours - $85
The Thursday would probably be best as both tours on Saturday are already quite full.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi
Generally how many hours do these bike rides go and how many miles do you cover in a normal trip
Thanks
Ramesh
Written June 21, 2015
Hi Ramesh,
Both tours are around 3.5 hours. Sometimes the afternoon tour goes a little longer. We cover just over 11 miles on both tours.
Cheers,
