1.00Narration very minimal, and stopped after several stops. Driver said his tablet battery died. Crowded bus with little legroom (I'm short). Would do better on city bus day pass.
Great tour of Vancouver

5.00I liked the narration. It was easy to hop on and off. We got to see quite a bit of Vancouver. The driver was funny and shared other facts.
Our careless bus driver for my ride in Vancouver in Gastown in June 2025

2.00At 4PM on June 19, 2025 the bus driver at #14 stop at Gastown in Vancouver proceeded to move the bus several blocks down the road while many travelers were standing and trying to get off at that stop. Most of those people were older than my 69 years. I injured my arm. While on the 3rd leg of an extended vacation I don’t appreciate what this careless driver did not only to me but the numerous other riders. The red stop button was pressed several times to get the driver’s attention.
Hop-on, Hop-off bus experience

5.00Good experience overall, some drivers provide more comprehensive overhead and history of city compared to others as they change drivers frequently. Some stops (i.e. stop 6) can be more challenging to find than others on the route, the map provided is not too specific
Nice ride. Great info.

5.00Bus was comfortable. Ìt was a two level tour Grayline bus. There were a couple of idle 5-10 min stops. Information was good. Details given about each stop. We rode first, then decided our stops. We would do this again.
