What are people saying about Vancouver

From Vancouver: Butchart Gardens, Victoria, and Gulf Islands Tour

Heidi_S, Apr 2026

Happy we took the day to see Butchart Gardens and Victoria

It was a lovely day visiting Butchart Gardens and Victoria. Also a great way to travel the scenic waterways. However, more time is spent traveling (4.5 - 5 hrs) to and from Victoria then time in either Butchart Gardens (1.5 hours) or Victoria (2 hrs). Bobby was a great tour guide providing information about the city and I recommend the tour but it does take up an entire day.

Jacqueline_G, Mar 2026

Amazing Whistler Tour with a Fantastic Guide!

The Whistler and Sea to Sky Gondola tour was absolutely awesome! Jason, our tour guide, was very personable and informative, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He shared great insights throughout the trip and kept everything engaging. We had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Vancouver Lost Souls of Gastown Walking Tour

Hilary_F, Mar 2026

Fantastic Way to Learn About Vancouver

Rather than a ghost tour, it was more of a historical tour, but still fun and very worth our time. Our guide personalized the narrative in a way that made it really engaging. We learned a lot about Vancouver and heard a few spooky tidbits to boot. Vanessa was incredible. it was cold and raining, but she stayed 100% committed to her character and gave it her all. Total respect for her abilities as an actress and the level of professionalism she displayed. She was also great at improvising, which created several fun interactions with the participants. Totally recommend this activity as a cool way to explore a historic part of Vancouver and to learn more about its past.

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park Ticket

Nuria_V, Mar 2026

Great activity in summer and winter

I did visit the suspension bridge during the day and night. When you visit the bridge during the winter, I would highly recommend you go at night. Everything is lit by thousands of Christmas lights. So pretty! It is a pity that you can't purchase a combined ticket (day and night) to visit the bridge twice on one day.

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout

CHRISTINE_E, Mar 2026

Best trip ever!

What a great day and a great way to see so much of the city. Our guide Derek was the absolute best! He was so knowledgeable and friendly and even snuck us into a few extra spots that were not planned. Plenty of time to do everything and a perfect trip to get a broad view of the city. We had the best time! Thank you Derek for making the day so special.

Vancouver: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Grouse Mountain Tour

Was an amazing experience. Erick was very informational awesome driver. Ended up being a private tour. The bridge was beautiful recommend going early. Grouse mountain was beautiful weather was clear for a few minutes but fogged out later for a bit. Bring hiking shoes for snow. Very fun easy activity.

Vancouver Premium Tour: Capilano Bridge + Grouse Mountain Lunch

Jennifer_J, Feb 2026

Winter Wonderland

Although this tour is much more popular during the warm weather months, I’m glad we went when we did! It was more personalized and our guide, Paul, was able to take the time to introduce us to the Vancouver main attractions in just a few hours. The Capilano suspension bridge was breathtaking- if you get a chance to go at night, I bet it is spectacular. Wear good walking shoes, dress in layers and be prepared to get in your steps! The view from Grouse mountain was incredible as we happened to go on a clear day- the view is about 50mi! There is a limited menu, that’s included with the tour. That was good enough for us (we added drinks) but you can choose to order from the full menu at an additional cost. It was great to see how the indigenous culture is respected and honored in many ways, even with the growth of urban/city life. Paul made a great tour exceptional! He really took his time with us, explained history and even helped us capture memories by snapping several pics of us along the way. We have only good things to say. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Vancouver City Tour plus Granville Island & Capilano Bridge

Emily_J, Jan 2026

Perfect tour with limited time in Vancouver

Was the highlight of Vancouver to see the Canyon Lights at Capilano suspension bridge. I had no idea when I booked it that the lights were up and it was the last night. It was magical, I wish we had more time at this location. We saw Stanley Park and ate lunch at Public Market in Granville then drove through Vancouver seeing landmarks due to the protests that were occurring downtown. I wish we had more time at each spot but I realize it is a long tour. I definitely will go back to these locations to enjoy more. This is a perfect tour if you only have a day or two in Vancouver.

Vancouver: Half-Day Whale-Watching Tour with Guide

Kathryn_H, Oct 2025

Amazing whale watching

We had an absolutely amazing whale watching trip. We saw humpbacks, orcas, sea lions, harbor seals, bald eagle plus many other marine birds. The vessel was comfortable even though the weather was a bit wet. Captain and crew were great. I highly recommend this outstanding company.

The tour director was great with lots of local knowledge and historical references. He allowed us plenty of time in Stanley Park as well as Granville Island. We went through several local neighborhoods in addition to Chinatown and Gastown that we went on to explore the following day. Small group on a small, clean, confortable bus.

Victoria and Butchart Gardens Day Trip from Vancouver

Zac, our tour guide for...

Zac, our tour guide for the day, was amazing. He picked us on time at our hotel and was entertaining as well as informative throughout the day. We were dropped off at our hotel at the end. Victoria and the Butchart Gardens are amazing. It made for a long day but well worth it. Would do it all over again with Viator.
