Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola, & Shannon Falls Tour from Vancouver

Stelios_G, Oct 2026

Great tour to Whistler

Alex was an excellent guide, and the tour was worth every penny. We had one free day within the business trip, and we chose this tour. You get the chance to see the amazing views on the way to Whistler and some breathtaking sights going up to the mountain with a gondola.

A Breathtaking Day Out with our guide Lewis – Stunning Views and a Fantastic Guide!

We had an amazing day exploring the Sea to Sky Highway, visiting the beautiful Shannon Falls, and taking in the breathtaking views from the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish and Whistler. Lewis was a fantastic guide, making the whole experience fun, interesting, and memorable. He shared lots of great information along the way and made sure we got the most out of every stop. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and this tour was a highlight of our trip to Canada. We would highly recommend Lewis and this tour to anyone visiting Vancouver!

Great intro to Vancouver!

We booked our tour for our first day in Vancouver. The city tour was a great intro to the city and got us oriented. The suspension bridge was a nice little jaunt outside the urban center. Our guide, Tim, was fantastic - full of stories and info about the city. Highly recommended.

This was a great day...

This was a great day adventure. Our guide Dave was very knowledgeable and let us know the plan each step of the way. The Garden was stunning and we can't wait to come back to see the roses! The time on the island was spent well, we shopped and had a great lunch at The Local. It was a long day, but we were able to catch naps on the inbetween times of traveling to and from the boat.

Vancouver Lost Souls of Gastown Walking Tour

Long_V, Oct 2026

Gastown by Gaslight

I'm in Vancouver for a work trip and get to spend the weekend exploring and doing the touristy stuff before working. I was very excited, but didn't know what to do. Literally I Googled what to do in Vancouver and this tour was one of the first ones to pop up. I figured in the spirit of Halloween might as well try something new. Incidentally, this is my very first ghost/history tour ever, so I didn't really know what to expect. After exploring Gastown earlier in the day, I decided to get to the meetup point early since I wasn't sure if there was going to be a sign or something for the tour. Turns out when you see a woman dressed in old fashioned clothes with a lantern tends to be a dead give away. That and she started asking people standing around the cafe if they were there for the tour. Vanessa was an amazing tour guide. She was so good at keeping the group captivated on the stories of Gastown. Not to mention her improvisation skills were on point. One of the things I can see very appealing this tour aside from the rich history is that every tour can be completely different because of the different people you might encounter on the tour. One of the best parts of the tour was when we stopped in front of a building where two buskers were playing music. Vanessa, the brilliant actress that she is, found a way to incorporate the buskers into the tour. Overall this was a great experience and something I would recommend to anyone who likes to learn about history. One of the key takeaways I got from this tour aside from Mr. Hackman being a snitch, is that every city needs to have more tours like this to teach people about the history. Not told from a documentary or a history book, but orated through story telling. If history was taught like this in school, I'm sure more kids would like it more. Please keep doing this and I hope to join another tour next time I come back to Vancouver. Moral of the story, Mr. Hackman is a snitch and Vanessa is an amazing tour guide and thank you for staying to take pictures because I'm a terrible tourist and need to be better about taking pictures of my travels.

Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver

Malcolm_F, Oct 2026

Fabulous day trip

This is a great excursion. Grouse Mountain is a beautiful place.The Gondola ride provides spectacular views en route. There was plenty to do, the Raptor show was most informative and interesting whilst the Lumberjack show was highly entertaining with plenty of laughs. Capilano Suspension Bridge was just amazing. We loved the exhilaration of walking across. The tree tops walk was less dramatic but also lots of fun. The Park is extremely well set out and beautifully maintained. There was also a great merch shop, places to grab a bite to eat and ample toilets. We had a great time. Our driver, who was friendly and welcoming provided us with good information about each stop so we knew exactly what was available. We had a great day!

Exploring the suspension bridge

My grandson's first time to Canada and I really wanted to take him to the suspension bridge. Didn't realize we came at a perfect time for kids since it was all decorated for Halloween. We all had a fun time. Definitely got in our 10k steps here. This grandma is definitely feeling it...lol but so glad we came.

Such a beautiful time on...

Such a beautiful time on the mountain, lots of things to do. Sadly the BBQ place wasn't open & had apparently not been open for several days, maybe it's end of season? Met a wonderful gentleman who works on the mountain named Glenn, so kind and knowledgeable, we were luckily enough that he was ending his shift when we were about to head back down, he got on with us & was like our own personal tour guide pointing out different things in the area - thank you Glenn!!

A hearty, 'Yes! Do it!' for this tour!

Vancouver Panorama Scenic Seaplane Tour

Yuri_M, Aug 2026

A Wonderful Experience

The experience was wonderful! It was a very safe and comfortable flight, and both the takeoff and landing were very smooth. The views were incredible. Seeing the beauty of Vancouver from that altitude was truly special, especially because we were able to see areas we had never seen before. The only thing I felt was missing was having a guide or someone to explain the names of the different areas we were flying over. That would have helped us better understand where we were and get a better sense of the city.
