2.00There isn't much to see on this tour - which is clear from the stops. It just helps you get around the city - although taking transportation/uber would likely have been more cost efficient. It wasn't clear to me that I could listen to the audio from the Big Bus Tour app, which I would have preferred to do. I'll clearly be the the minority here but while Sherry did her job with gusto - her commentary/comedic performance just wasn't for me or what I was looking for.
A great way to see the sights

5.00Let’s start with the highlight… Sherry like the wine 🩷 agree with the comments saying she should be queen of Vancouver! We had 2 days of tripping around with her and we learned so much! She is an absolute treasure, and made us laugh so much! We did some cool things, loved buying puppets at Granville Island and Flyover Canada. Kindest regards from the Kiwi girls xx
So much fun, even the rain was not a problem

5.00Cheri is the funniest and super knowledgeable tour bus driver! She was super fun! She made history fun for my 11-year-old. I loved the tour myself.

5.00First time in Vancouver so taking the HOHO tour seemed like the best option to see the city and it didn’t disappoint. Sherry (like the Spanish wine) was so kind, effervescent, and very knowledgeable about the city. Truly enjoyed her tour, definitely one of the highlights of the day. Thank again!
Good option to see Vancouver sights

4.00Depending on your driver you might get a more personal experience or just a tape running talking about the sites. I would recommend taking a pic of the drivers return time so you don’t have to wait as long when you hop off and on. Sherry our middle driver was amazing and funny!
We vote For Sherry for Queen of Vancouver 👑

5.00Really good experience if you want to know about Vancouver in an express way. Our guide Sherry “just like Spanish wine” was amazing explaining us much about this city with a very hilarious sense of humor.
The best bus tour
