“Best part of our trip to Vancouver - Saw a ton of the city, didn't get over-exhausted since they were electric.”
Fly round-trip by Harbour Air seaplane from Vancouver to Whistler with Green Lake landing, free shuttle, and a full day in Whistler Village.
“My booking despite the the fact that it was done months before was a mess. Got emails saying the flight was at 10:00 am had a ticket with 10:00 am on it, but according to check in there was no 10:00 am flight. We were more than an hour early so with a few minutes to spare we literally gotshoved onto the 9 am flight after being screamed at because we could not produce vaccination papers fast enough. Oh this was not mentioned on the ticket by the way. Short bumpy flight pretty high most of the time. We arrive to no shuttle and a scrabble to get folks on…”

“Super cute tour. It was a grand way to see Gastown and learn a little bit of history. The riddles get a little weak in the middle puzzles, we liked when they included the environment we’d walked to. We stopped by a couple of shops during the tour and it only took us an hour and thirty. It worked well on one phone and three people. All in all, a fun tour and a good way to kill some time.”

“We had an awesome time using AudioMe Tours for our bike ride around Stanley Park! The GPS-triggered commentary worked flawlessly, starting at just the right moments as we rode through different areas of the park. The narration was engaging and full of interesting history, stories, and fun facts about the landmarks and wildlife. One of the best parts was that the tour was available in multiple languages. We had both English and Spanish speakers in our group, and it was great that everyone could enjoy the experience in their preferred language. Overall, it was a super smooth and well-designed experience—highly recommend for anyone wanting a flexible and informative way to…”
