  • Should I tip my bike tour guides?
    Tipping isn't required, but it’s a fantastic way to show some love for our amazing guides! They work hard to make your tour unforgettable, and a $5-10 tip per person is always appreciated if you enjoyed the ride.
  • Do I need to book a bike tour in advance?

    Our adventures start and end at Bikes and Blades Rentals, 718 Denman St. It’s the perfect spot to begin and wrap up your journey!

    We like to keep things intimate, so our tours usually have 4-15 riders. This way, you get a more personal experience and plenty of attention from your guide.
  • Are refreshments available during the tour?
    Absolutely! We make a pit stop in Stanley Park where you can grab some coffee, juice, pastries, and maybe even a souvenir or two. There’s also a place to refill your water bottle.
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    You can cancel for a full refund if you give us at least 24 hours' notice before your tour. Unfortunately, we can't offer refunds for cancellations within 24 hours of the tour, as we need to compensate our guides.
  • When should I arrive for the tour? What happens if I'm late?
    Please arrive 15 minutes early to sign the waiver and get fitted for your bike and helmet. We start on time to make sure everyone has a great experience. Running late? Give us a call, and we'll try to help you catch up.
  • What happens if it rains on the day of my tour?
    A little rain won’t stop us! We’re Vancouverites, after all. Our tours run rain or shine. Dress for the weather, and we'll provide light ponchos if needed. You can also cancel up to 24 hours in advance if the forecast looks bad.
