Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver

Cleona_J, Aug 2026

Great trip

Greg was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The weather wasn't the best for Grouse Mountain (foggy and raining) but we both enjoyed it. Also visited Stanley Park, Clevedon Dam, Capilano Suspension bridge and a salmon hat hery which was actually interesting.

Post cruise excursion

We caught the free shuttle from Canada Place to Capilano. Very easy & pleasant experience. Once at the park, we explored all the trails, taking our time and stopped at the gift shop briefly. We spent a total of about 4 hours here. It is a really beautiful park, nicely maintained and clean. We were in awe of the suspension bridge & took a ton of pictures! It was a really great experience & I’d definitely recommend it!

Brent is an excellent driver and tour guide

Very knowledge guide/driver. Enjoyed stop in Stanley park and to see the steam clock. The Bridge is a ways out but was very beautiful. Short walk on moving bridge. Brent knew something about everything and was very patient and kind. Between pick up and drop off plan on 6-7 hours.

A very full and...

A very full and fulfilling day of experiences, we had a spectacular time on our excursion! Our tour guide Joe was very well spoken and knowledgeable, and our driver Tai was an excellent driver and delivered us effectively to each drop off point. Due to the length of time it takes to get to and from Victoria from Vancouver city, there’s a little bit of rush to explore the city and Butchart Gardens, but we did feel like we got enough time at each and the convenience of having a driver and established guide to meet at each spot was amazing and we definitely would recommend this tour wholeheartedly to anyone else looking to book a Victoria tour!

We had the absolute best...

We had the absolute best day and a huge reason for this was Jason. He has the most positive attitude and wonderful communication skills. He was always making sure everyone felt safe and that we were having a good time. The tour itself was amazing. Jason even added a couple extra stops and took photos for us. It was a perfect day!!

A taste of Victoria!

This tour was an easy, fun and informative way to visit Victoria for the day. We didn’t want to navigate ferries, tickets, etc., and I’m so glad we booked this tour instead of managing it all ourselves. Our guide was absolutely awesome, super informative and funny! He kept us on schedule and communicated clearly. The ferry rides were awesome, with all conveniences aboard. Gardens and downtown Victoria were amazing, of course, and we had plenty of time to explore, take photos, and eat at each location. It was a full day, but well worth getting a taste of Victoria!

Vancouver day trip

Long day but we got to see a lot Adequate time in Victoria and Butchart Gardens to explore. There was some confusion about the pick-up time so we had to wait 2 hours - luckily we were the first off the bus on the return trip. Joe was very kind although his accent made him hard to understand.

Memorable experience of Butchart and Victoria

Our tour guide/driver Dan was so engaging and informative. We didn’t notice the time because he made a long trip seem so short because of his scenic drive and engaging commentary. His stories were captivating filled with good-natured humor and an impressive knowledge of the area. Experiencing the beauty of Butchart gardens and downtown Victoria made the tour an unforgettable experience.

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Granville Island & Stanley Park

Harold_C, Aug 2026

A great introduction to Vancouver that makes you want to come back to learn more.

This tour covered Stanley Park and Granville Island, with the main focus on the City Market. The tour provided a great overview of these two well-known landmarks in Vancouver, but a great of additional info about the city was provided as we were driving from place to place. Heather, our tour guide, is very knowledgeable about the area and clearly loves her job. She also does an outstanding job of maneuvering the van through very tight spots. Great experience all around!
