Included all the interesting places to visit. Especially liked Granville Island and Stanley Park. With 4 trolleys never waited too long to get back on. The tour guides I had were very entertaining and interesting. Only negative is no standing room. If seats get filled you need to wait for next trolley (didn't happen to us). Live map shows you where all trolleys are at any time (pretty nice).

I got hurt while on the tour. Our guide and driver were so kind. They called an ambulance and waited until it arrived and I was treated. The owner came and made sure that I got a ride home. He checked with me the next. Wonderful gentlemen all

Had such a great time on the Hop-On Hop-Off trip! Lynn, tour guide, and Dave, tour driver (I hope got their names right), were both amazing — friendly and engaging. The information Lynn shared at the different sightseeing spots was really interesting and made the tour even more enjoyable. Everything ran smoothly (though it was raining), and it was a fun and relaxing way to explore the city. Highly recommend this tour and the wonderful team behind it! 💯

Nice introduction to Vancouver

Regina_A, Jul 2026
Nice laid-back tour around the City of Vancouver. I enjoyed the insider’s knowledge of fun facts I wouldn’t know as a tourist. The seats were comfortable. It’s a great way to learn the City if first visiting to get your bearings. I would take this tour again.

Great way to explore the city.

Fredric_M, Jul 2026
Great way to see and explore the city. Simply get on, hear a little bit about the history and then get off to explore more. Overall great experience. A couple trolley were warmer than others. Some windows didn’t open.

Don’t miss this adventure…

Laura_N, Jul 2026
Fantastic experience!!! Great way to see Vancouver and get key data points along the way for 21 stops with making mental notes of what you want to go back to 🤗. My whole family loved and the presenter and driver were great. We did the whole loop twice with going in the morning then breaking for lunch. Great way to enjoy the day. Highly recommend this adventure! Perfect if you didn’t rent a car.

Left at bathroom

I was on trolly and we came to stop 1 driver said if anyone needs to go to restroom they would have time.. I had a one o’clock checkout at my hotel extended.I came out and the trolley was gone.I just made it to my hotel at one with no extra charge.Otherwise I enjoyed the trip around the city

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry the trolley left before you returned. We're glad you made it back to your hotel in time without any extra charges, and we appreciate your kind words about enjoying the city tour. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Good way to get around Vancouver and learn about spots to visit.

Brian_L, Jul 2026
Mary and Grant were great as narrator and driver. Having a few more vehicles would make hop on and off easier.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Mary and Grant. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them. We also appreciate your suggestion about adding more vehicles to make hopping on and off more convenient, and we'll pass it along to our team. We hope to see you again soon!

Good opportunity for lots of info

Linda_W, Jul 2026
Look for the yellow square signs. Download the realtime tracking of trolleys. The first trolley we were on had a knowledgeable speaker, but the mic &/or speaker(s) needed some improvement. The trolleys only go one direction, so plan accordingly. It would've been nice to have more trolleys that Wednesday in July, so that the wait time between them would be less than 20-30 minutes.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your feedback and helpful suggestions. We’re glad you enjoyed the knowledgeable commentary and appreciate your tips for future guests. We apologize for the longer wait times and the issues with the audio system. We’ll share your comments with our team as we continue working to improve the overall experience. We hope to welcome you again soon!

Easiest and most fun way to spend a rainy day

Elaine_S, Jul 2026
Ryan and Chris were a hoot. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. We had the best rainy day with them.

Trolley Tour of Vancouver

We had an excellent guide It’s helpful to see the entire city while in Vancouver and this is an excellent way to do it!

Great fun trolley.

Very informative and interesting. We had two guides, the second one was Brandon and Grant our driver. They were the best! Would be nice for them to run later in the day.

Best way to learn and get around Vancouver!

Amy_P, Jul 2026
This was the best choice for not only simply getting around Vancouver (we did not have a car), but also learning fun facts about the major highlights. Each guide and driver we had was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and more than accommodating. We got the 48-hour pass, which we used many times. We would recommend this over the bus tour - personal service, live guide, less crowded. We would do this again in a heartbeat!

Hop on, hop off Vancouver

Steven_P, Jul 2026
Great way to get around Vancouver and see the sights. You’ll be provided with a map as you board the tour bus, decide quickly which stops you want to stop at as the pick ups are around every 30 minutes. Friendly and helpful staff.

Overview of the city

Randolph_S, Jul 2026
A great overview of the neighborhoods in the city. The guide (Ken) that narrated the tour was extremely knowledgeable and informative. Ken the driver also chimed in.

Mark_R, Jul 2026
A two-hour loop of Vancouver that shows you the highlights. The yellow HOHO placards are a little hard to find, but the app helps locate them. Good narrator.

Elena_S, Jul 2026
Excellent. Very knowledgeable speaker but her microphone wasn’t working so we struggled to hear Driver was great

Fun on a Trolley

Cary_P, Jun 2026
Tour guides were knowledgeable, friendly and funny... made the tour seem short.. enjoyed learning about Vancouver's history.

Great way to see the city

Ruxandra_L, Jun 2026
Great way to see the city. We did the 2 day ticket and we were able to see all the sights. We traveled with our two teenagers and it was a great way to learn about the area. All the guides were fantastic. Would do again.

Recommend

Linda_E, Jun 2026
Excellent guides. Can be difficult to find stops to catch another trolley if you don't know the area. The live tracking map is great, but hard to tell which stop is which. Also, $55 is a little pricey.

Family tour

Julie_W, Jun 2026
We received a route map at check in which we found to be very helpful. Also loved the live time trolley finder. Using the map and the posted signs, the stops are easy to find. It was a rainy day in Vancouver and our first time being there so we first did a whole loop to figure out the places that we wanted to spend more time at before hopping off /on.. We enjoyed the commentary from the drivers. The only reason that I didn’t give this 5 stars is that the trolley seats are very uncomfortable, especially when sitting in the back. The trolleys lack good suspension and the seats lack padding. Haha. However we really enjoyed exploring the city via trolley and being able to see the highlights of Vancouver before determining where to spend the few hours we had between disembarking from our cruise and catching a train to the airport.

Amazing service and Tour!!

Jessica_S, Jun 2026
This was a beyond lovely time! We hopped on at Canada place and visited Stanley park, china town, gastown, grandville island and did a whole loop back to our hotel! Each guide was lovely and full of fun and different information so while on a difference trolley! The trolley had semi-comfortable seats however in some seats the engine was a little to loud, however we just then switched seats! The breeze from the windows were lovely and it was super easy to use their website to find when the next trolley was! This was a wonderful time. I really enjoyed being in Vancouver! Their guides are super fun and super friendly! However I will add this tour is what you make of it, if you get off and are expecting a guided walking tour you won’t have a good time! My grandfather and I enjoy our quality time and just chilling and watching the world! We had a walk in Stanley park, food in china town, some shopping is Gas town, and a snack and walk around grandville island! For the price and ease this really filled our day and we were really happy!

Our trolly trip was...

Phillip_E, Jun 2026
Our trolly trip was great. Our driver made our trip outstanding and we felt special since we were rage only 4 passengers on the trolley

Perfect to start your stay!

Jean_M, Jun 2026
Well designed to see most interesting spot of the city and Stanley park. Then you know where you want to spend more time on your stay!

not the bus for us

davcmo, Jun 2026
long wait for bus. we made it to one stop, looked around and ate lunch, got to one more stop before the "day" was over. Staff was good. Double-decker service from a different country seemed to be operating longer. World cup and related traffic on a Saturday certainly influenced things

Great experience

Rafik_S, Jun 2026
Brendon the guide is informative, friendly , involving clients onboard to deepen the experience's impact with dialogues , illustrative photos & maps whenever is feasible. Chris the driver is so kind , friendly, courteous and has a lovely sense of humor. Keep it up guys.

Good way to get around Vancouver

Jennifer_K, Jun 2026
Friendly and knowledgeable staff/guides, easy to follow the route and the schedule. Overall, a good way to enjoy Vancouver at my own pace.

Quick tour of Vancouver

Sharmaine_M, Jun 2026
This was a great way to get an overview of Vancouver. The guides were knowledgeable and courteous. They provided directions and recommendations that allowed me to make the decisions about how I wanted to spend my day.

Delightful Trolley Tour!

Leslie_C, Jun 2026
Not only did we see the sights of Vancouver but we heard the history of the city in the most fun and engaging way from our driver, Grant, and guide, Braydon. Their repartee kept us laughing and listening on a delightful tour of the city. So much more fun than a recorded tour on headphones. We would highly recommend!
