I have never dealt with anyone else apart from them, the Trust factor.
If you only do one thing while in Vancouver, take Globalduniya's Sea to Sky Tour. I knew it would be good based on favourable reviews at all the usual review sites, but it was even better than expected. If you're fortunate, Anant will be your guide. This guy's a walking, talking encyclopedia of everything related to Vancouver. He's a great ambassador for his very fine city.
My girlfriend and I went on a 10 AM tour. The tour guide was very courteous and friendly. He was a riot and very informative. An incredibly enjoyable experience. We'll be taking another tour when we come back to Vancouver - not just for the great stories and history, but also for the top-notch views!
Excellent tour with an excellent tour guide, Anant!
An awesome Vancouver tour experience. It’s an excellent time!
