An excellent tour all round. Our driver and tour guide were very helpful. Our guide, Kai Choo (hope I've spelled his name correctly) was very informative and gave us plenty of information to make the trip both informative and enjoyable. Wel..l done! Excellent value for money.Read full review
We enjoyed our tour very much, not only my family but also everybody who joined the tour. Everybody joined all the attractions except the Imax movie. But the rest we joined. Our guides namely Steven and Jackie together with our driver, they.. were very nice, organized. we were on time allways, we were on schedule. They r also very helpful. I suggest you join all the attractions, except the corning glass museum, imax movie and the CN tower. The hotels where we stayed are also nice, big and nice hotel. We stayed at Universal Inn at Niagara falls, and Quality hotel in Toronto. they were both nice. We are satisfied. An excellent tour!Read full review
This is an awesome tour. Everything was perfect. The hotels, bus and attractions.
You just need to plan on some extra money for the attractions.
I really enjoyed it

The itinerary is great, except the CN tower. You can skip this and the IMAX Theatre experience. The tour guide walks too fast not giving consideration to older people who are having a hard time catching up with her. We wasted a lot of time ..at the border patrol offices because of some people who do not have proper documentation. The tour company should check the documents before leaving for the tour. Altogether, no regrets at having joined this tour. My family had a great time except for these minor hiccups.Read full review
My wife and I took the tour on Tuesday. Our tour guide, "Mike" was an incredible fountain of information. HIs knowledge of the history of the area and Canada, were to say the least, quite fascinating.
He was also most helpful in locating.. for me a "Mosquito" aircraft type that I flew in WW II.Read full review

Just wanted to express our thanks for the wonderful sightseeing tours your company offers to visitors to Vancouver. We have just recently arrived home after spending 6 days in Vancouver(May 7th to 12th), while there we (my husband, myself ..and 2 friends) took 3 of your tours around Vancouver (Whistler & Shannon Falls - May 7, Vancouver City & Aquarium - May 8, and Grouse Mountain & Capilano Suspension Bridge - May 10). We all really enjoyed the tours and were impressed and pleased with the information the drivers/guides provided us with. The drivers we had were: Gordie, Herman and Mike (and for short trips to meet the bus etc. Randall & Phil) these drivers were all very courteous, informative and made our tours very interesting and fun. Thanks for providing such a great service (Days Inn hotel pick-up and return etc.), we will certainly recommend "tours4fun" to any friends who might visit Vancouver in the future.
Thanks again and we wish everyone a wonderful and successful summer.Read full review
My kids loved the whole experience, esp the new 4D movie in Vancouver Aquarium--it was a bit scary for them( my older one is 10, and younter one is 8) but they both seat at the seats and finished it, and wanting more. The only drawback of t..his tour is that you may not able to watch all the animal shows while doing 4D, but hey, it worth it.Read full review
This past Monday I took a tour to Whistler with your tourist guide Jeff. This is the most well informed tourist guide I have ever seen in my life. His tour was the best I took during my stay in Vancouver. He is the Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..!!!!!!!!!!!!, congratulations!!!, everything was perfect, your service is really good.Read full review
We have booked this tour as part of our 10 day trip to NYC and were satisfied with it.
On the first day of the tour it was a bit difficult finding the correct bus in Chinatown as there are countless tours with this and other companies.
..Behind a desk two Chinese people were advising the bus numbers for the respective tours but we were sent tot he wrong busses twice. When we finally got to our bus our tour guide Wendy greeted us with a loud "NO!" as the bus was almost full - except for the two of us. Everything was sorted quickly though and we got on the bus to commence our travels with 43 Chinese people and 9 none-Chinese people. We saw another bus with Indian people so I think they're trying to group you by ethnicity - maybe so you don't feel like a stranger?
The Chinese unfortunately kept to themselves so we only really had contact with the other 7 passengers. We ended up becoming very good friends with one of the couples and has made the trip be forever more memorable in my mind.
There is a lot of driving and you only have little time to enjoy at the attractions. I was trying to meet up with a friend from Toronto and ended up seeing her for about 10 minutes. But all in all the tour is great. If you do all the attractions it's quite pricey but we simply informed ourselves before the trip and did
- The Thousand Island Tour
- CN tower
- Skylon tower w/o lunch (I wouldn't recommend this attraction)
- Maid of the Mist
- Cave of the winds (definitely do this if you can! You're walking where the American Bridal Veil Falls come down into Niagara River. On the Hurricane Deck you're being showered by the Falls as the powerful Bridal Veil speeds down into the river )
only. That way we had a little bit more time while people were doing e.g. The Corning Glass Museum, the Niagara Imax etc.
The admissions purchased from Wendy weren't noticeably more expensive than the ones on-site. You were always in the Fast-Track and somebody else (your tour guide) is doing all the organising/queuing for you so I didn't mind those 2-5$ more.
This tour incluides a lot of driving, getting up early and very tight time lines - but you get a lot in return. Canada is simply beautiful and the Niagara Falls are worth visiting once in your life.
The hotels we stayed at were the Holiday Inn and Travelodge, the standards were very good but the hotels were far away from the city so you weren't able to go explore on your own at night. This is probably better as this tour is not for part animals due to getting up early and lots of travelling.
I don't know about the lunch/dinner organized by our tour guide as we never went on those. Due to the nature of the group they often went to Chinese buffets - but we wanted to explore the local cuisine and went wandering off on our own. I can recommend traditional Chinese buns in Toronto.
Our tour guide Wendy was charming, entertaining and absolutely wonderful! Everybody loved her - aside from two Russian passengers that were being incredibly rude and refused to pay the service fee. Aside from that the trip was really wonderful and Wendy (although I'm sure that wasn't her real name, just simplified from Chinese for stupid tourists) and our driver Jorge were just perfect! Jorge ("George" for stupid tourists) drove us safely over 1000 miles to all our locations and listened to a lot of Chinese chatting with an angel-like patience.
I'll definitiely check out tours4fun again when i go back to the States.Read full review
What a great tour and a good deal all in one! My wife and I booked this tour for an anniversary present and really enjoyed ourselves. We had always wanted to see Niagara Falls in style, and this tour was the way to do it. Our guide was punc..tual, knowledgeable and very friendly. It was great to be able to have a fully guided tour not only of the American side of the Falls but of the Canadian side as well. The Maid of the Mist was fantastic- we got a little wet but we were prepared- make sure to bring your waterproof camera! My wife just loved the lunch that we had with the impressive view of the Falls to boot. This tour was a great way to see one of Mother Nature's most awesome creations without the hassle of renting a car and having to drive ourselves. It was worth every penny.Read full review
I had no idea what to get my sister for her birthday, so I bought her a tour! This was a last minute decision, so thank goodness for the customer service at Tours4fun. They answered all of my questions and put to rest some of my concerns. .. We both really enjoyed visiting Niagara Falls.Read full review
