A group of us went on a Vancouver City Tour with a new tour company called Vancouver's Ultimate Tour and it was a blast.  Essentially it is a regular city tour taking visitors to all the typical highlights - Canada Place, Stanley Park and the Totem Poles, Robson Street, Granville Island, Chinatown and Gastown - all it about 3.5 hours.  What sets this tour apart from the other excellent tour product in the city are 2 things - 1) The company is in partnership with Vancouver Theatresports so the guide is in the character of "Canadiana Joe" the whole time and is hilarious, making people feel very at ease and providing a very comical approach to touring the City and 2) Visitors get to hop on one of those little aqua ferries to get from Stanley Park to Granville Island and then from Granville Island to Science World where the bus meets up with the group - this routing allows visitors to spend some time on the waters of False Creeks and affords an excellent perspective on the city from the water.  We also got to see the Olympic Village.  We also stopped at Dr. Sun Yat Sen (public) Park in Chinatown on the way back (not to be confused with the superior 'attraction' side of the park which one has to pay for).  I would highly recommend this tour for families with kids.
