FAQ

Can we customize the stops?

Absolutely! The tour is entirely yours. If there's a specific place you'd like to add or remove from the itinerary, your guide will adjust the route perfectly.

Is this tour a good fit if I'm doing a cruise?

Yes, in two ways! If you're sailing to Alaska from Vancouver, arriving 1-2 days early and doing the City Tour is a great way to explore the city at your own pace before setting sail. And if you're disembarking in Vancouver in the morning with a flight home later that night, the City Tour is also perfect for filling that free day before your flight.
