Our trip to Vancouver was fantastic from start to finish. The hotel was clean and well located, and the guided visit to Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art was a real highlight. Airport transfers were on time both ways.

Booked this as a solo trip and it was well paced. Kitsilano Beach in particular stood out. A couple of the transfers ran a little late but nothing that spoiled the trip.

Vancouver is stunning and this package covered the essentials well, especially Gastown. The hotel could have been a little closer to the center but transport was easy.
