Meet at least 20 minutes prior to your tour start time to meet your friendly guide, grab a helmet, get fitted for your bike, and sign a waiver.

Safety is our top priority when getting ready for a fun adventure! Learn the basics of riding in the city and the features on your bike before you head off to explore Vancouver with us.

Hear about the history of the West End, from Englishmen to city elites, the red light district to Vancouver’s queer hub. Stop in English Bay by the popular sculptures that make for a great photo-op with guaranteed smiles all-round.

Slow down and take a deep breath as we walk our bikes through the temperate rainforest to a hidden ecological gem: a lake with an active beaver lodge! This beautiful area is a favourite stop of our guests and tour guides alike. Keep your eyes peeled for local wildlife.

Stand beneath towering ancient trees and learn about the park’s logging history and other events that have shaped this urban rainforest. You might even be able to spot a bald eagle’s nest!

Pedal past Lost Lagoon, ride along the Coal Harbour waterfront, and wave at the sea planes overhead. On the home stretch, cruise under the Convention Centre’s impressive six acre living roof.

STANLEY PARK TOUR GUEST REVIEWS

Billy N10/13/2024
Amazing experience for Couples and a Solo traveller like me; German the tour guide Our tour guide, German, defied expectations and went above and beyond. He is engaging, relatable, and was eager to answer my many questions about the city, meaning he was also very knowledgeable as well. It is evident that German cares about cyclists having a memorable experience through his mannerisms and warm nature. With regard to the tour, I, as a young person and newcomer to Vancouver and Canada in general, felt comfortable, and also felt that the tour covered integral parts of Vancouver, with favourites including Beaver Lake in Stanley Park and Chinatown. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Cycle City Vancouver, and you will not be let down with a tour guide like German. He is a credit to the city. Thank you 😊

Amazing tour and Greg was the best guide What an amazing tour. Greg was such a fun guide and gave us lots of unique info. Vancouver is a young city but that didn’t stop us from learning about culture and its rich history. I didn’t feel like we were on the bikes too long before stopping and as someone that is not on the best shape it was manageable. 100% recommend if you’re looking for a different way to see the city and not feel so bad about eating all the delicious food and drinks the city has to offer.

Book this Cycle Tour! We had a great experience on the 5 hour cycle tour. I upgraded to an e-bike which was fun but regular bikes are great too. Our guide, Greg, was awesome- he really knew the city and made great recommendations along the way. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with this company!

Bike Tour FAQs

Should I tip my bike tour guide?2023-06-29T09:06:47-07:00

While not mandatory, tipping is appropriate and our guides certainly appreciate it for a job well done! As in other service-based industries, tipping encourages the outstanding service that our guides continue to provide. Please consider this when planning your monetary needs on the tour.

What time should I arrive for the tour? What if I’m late?2023-06-29T09:10:27-07:00

Please arrive no less than 15 minutes in advance of your tour departure so that you have time to sign a waiver form and be fitted for bike and helmet.

Tours start promptly at the time stated. We cannot wait for late guests as this affects the experience of other riders. If you are late, please try calling as we may be able to help you catch up to the group.

Where do the bike tours start and end?2023-06-29T09:13:15-07:00

All Cycle City bike tours depart from and return to our shop at 648 Hornby Street.

Do I have to book a bike tour in advance?2023-06-29T09:03:25-07:00

Yes, please book a bike tour in advance as space is limited. You can book your desired tour and departure time on our bookings page. If you’d like to join a tour departing in the next 24 hours, please contact us directly to see if we can find you a place.

What if it rains on the day of my bike tour?2023-06-29T09:09:46-07:00

Our city is located in a Temperate Coastal Rainforest climate, so it does rain here regularly. As Vancouverites, we don’t let “liquid sunshine” keep us from riding and our tours depart rain or shine. You can still have an amazing tour if dressed for the weather, and we provide light ponchos for your use.

Our 24 hour cancellation policy allows you to cancel the day before if the forecast looks bad.  Tour guests can now also pay an additional 7% fee to extend the cancellation policy to 1 Hr before departure for those that prefer to make a last minute decision.

Please Note: June, July, August and September are typically the driest months of the year, but it is wise to bring along an extra layer just in case the forecast indicates a chance of rain (local forecast).

What is your cancellation policy?2023-06-29T09:20:50-07:00

You can cancel your booking for a full refund with minimum 24 hours notice before your departure time. Due to limited space on our public tours, no refund is possible within 24 hours of tour departure. Read our cancellation policy for more details.

Please Note: We may be able to reschedule your booking if unforeseen circumstances arise. This is based on tour availability.
