5.00Perfect for a chilly day in Vancouver. We hopped off at Glenville Island and had a wonderful time perusing the shops.
Great route, we saw most...

5.00Great route, we saw most of the city and out tour guides were very knowledgeable. One of them, Sherry, had the same jokes for every stop, so if you're riding the entire and you get her, be prepared for some corn!

5.00This is a quick way to get around the city. The bus drivers were funny with their dad jokes. I couldn't remember his name but he spoke live on the tour. Two self guided walking tours are also included in this. I highly recommend if you have family or older adults who want to see the city without walking around Vancouver.
We have done many big bus...

2.00We have done many big bus tours in other cities. While this one seemed to hit many interesting spots, the automated narration did not match up and made it difficult to understand where we were or what we were seeing. Live tour guides are essential. Additionally, we had some pretty erratic drivers who made it feel unsafe.
Just awful

1.00Terrible narration - direction of high points given in north, south etc instead of ‘ right’ or ‘ left’ when bus driver spoke he was mumbling and unintelligible We got off and Uber’d home The recording did not coordinate with what we were seeing. It was a waste of money and so disappointing
