What are people saying about Vancouver

Laura_F, Jul 2026

Perfect day trip from Vancouver

I highly recommend this! Natalia and our female bus driver (forget the name) were friendly and informative. The bus is new with recliner seats, power ports and a bathroom. We had plenty of time at the various stops. Great way to see Whistler village, Shannon Falls and the Sea to Sky Gondola.

Whistler Sea 2 Sky Gondola, Shannon Falls Premium Day Tour

Anand_B, Jul 2026

I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable day trip to Whistler

This is an excellent one-day trip to Whistler that covers all the key attractions as outlined in the itinerary. Our tour guide, Ken, was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. He communicated clearly throughout the day, ensured everything ran smoothly, and went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable. Even though there were only two bookings for the tour that day, the trip was not cancelled and departed right on schedule, which we really appreciated.

Information and beauty all the way!

Alex is an incredible tour guide and he made this trip stand out as excellent. He is so knowledgeable and imparts his knowledge with the perfect balance of humour and teaching. We were never on the bus for extended periods of time and he made sure we knew what was happening, what was coming up next, and expected timings. I would highly recommend the Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola and Shannon Falls tour. It was great value for money.

From Vancouver: Victoria, Butchart Gardens, & Gulf Islands Cruise

Stephanie_T, Jul 2026

Spectacular Gardens, lovely city, delightful tour guide

Our tour guide did an excellent job of chauffeuring us around for a very long day - almost 14 hours from hotel pickup, to Ferry, to Butchardt Gardens, to the lovely city of Victoria and back. He provided tons of information about Vancouver - the city and the island - the indigenous peoples who lived here for thousands of years, the economy, the government, the Gardens, the wildlife - you name it - he talked about it. He also gave several typical dad jokes. All in all a good day!

The tour guide was...

The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local neighborhoods we traveled through. Our tour happened to take place on the same day the FIFA Canada soccer game was going on and our guide was able to navigate the MANY closed roads to still get us to all of the destinations without delay. KUDOS!!!

Victoria and Butchart Gardens, an Elevated Experience

Lenayingli, Jun 2026

Great places, great trip, and great tour company

Victoria is very different from Vancouver -- quiet and scenic, and full of British style. It's a great complementary trip if you visit Vancouver. Our trip was well designed -- sufficient time in Victoria and Butcher's Garden for self-exploration. Star Sightseeing has such a great organization and planning of the trip -- our guide Joe and driver Maggie are not only friendly, knowledgeable, and fun, but also super professional and full of ownership! They also managed to arrive at the ferry 30 mins earlier, so that we got to Victoria earlier with extra time.

Amazing experience!

This was such an amazing beautiful way to spend a few hours in Vancouver! We took the free shuttle from Canada Place at 5:00 and stayed until 8:00! The lighting, weather and temperature was perfect! Hardly crowded at all either! It was thrilling in a safe way if that makes sense. We were scared of heights but we did ALL of the bridges and everything! Gorgeous place, could not recommend more!

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Granville Island & Stanley Park

Patsy, Jun 2026

Sam is a gift!

It was an orientation to the city tour, went to Stanley Park and stopped, Granville Island and stopped. Sam is not only an excellent tour guide, but he does magic tricks! Really excellent ones! He gave insights to the history of the city, told stories and answered a zillion questions. All while driving and working out some logistics issues. Absolutely worth it and an easy pick up!

Victoria & Butchart Gardens Tour with Ferry from Vancouver

Ann_W, Jun 2026

Fabulous day tour

If you have limited time in Vancouver, this is the best way to visit Vancouver island and the Butchart gardens. The pick up, bus trip and ferry crossing was seamless and went according to schedule. The only delay was the slightly late arrival of the ferry into Victoria. It would be a huge challenge to do this trip on public transport. It was a very long day but totally worth it. My other recommendation would be to stay on the island for a few nights, such as beautiful place.

Great private tour!

Hamad tailored our Vancouver tour to what really interested us. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting bits of information about the area. We loved the fact it was a private tour. It was nice being able to take our luggage with us, right from our cruise pickup. Also got dropped off at our airport hotel.
