Saw the city sights of Vancouver with Rebecca. Pointed out lots of interesting things as we passed, gave us Werthers caramels and even dropped us off at our hotel! A great way to spend 5 hours after getting off the cruise ship.

We had never been to Vancouver before. This tour allowed us to get to know the city and some of its history. Our tour guide Bernie was excellent in making this possible. The views of the water were breathtaking. Stanley Park is a place you wish you could spend hours. The architecture of the city is very unique and “playful” as one noted visitor described it. The Lookout Tower gave an amazing view of the city. Granville Island was filled with a farmer’s market where I saw fruits I had never seen before. Plus there were unique shops and a type of food court. You could eat outside by the water or eat where a busker played music. My husband and I were very glad that we went on this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for sharing your lovely feedback with us. We're so happy to know that we could be a part of your time in Vancouver. It's always great to know that our hometown left you with such a lasting impression. Thank you again for travelling with us, and we can't wait to welcome you again soon!
David_M, Jul 2025
The tour was a great way to get a feel for Vancouver. Our tour guide Kim was knowledgeable, fun, inclusive and full of little insights that helped paint a picture of Vancouver life.
The only slight negative was the poor communication of the Lookout Tower escort but that was not something that Kim or Discover Canada could control.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad that Kim made your experience so enjoyable. Hope to welcome you back again in the future!
Elena_L, Jul 2025

Alfredo_M, Jun 2025
We missed the key places (steam clock...) and stopped twice 30 in the park. We had to rush in Grandville island to have lunch. Really not worth the price.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for your feedback and we're sorry to hear that the experience didn't meet your expectations. Unfortunately, during the summer season, there are increased road restrictions in Gastown, which can affect our route and timing. That said, your comments are valuable to us, and we’ll take them into account as we work to improve our tours.

I arrived in Vancouver after a 14-hour flight, severely jet-lagged. This tour was perfect for my layover time. The meeting location was very easy to find and I only needed to take one train. They had space in the bus for my luggage too.
This tour is exactly what is advertised in the description. I liked driving through Vancouver and making short stops at key sites to have a walk through and take photos. This was perfect for my low energy levels because the stops weren’t taxing and also helped keep me active for the day to adjust to the time zone.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging, and the smaller group size helped the experience feel like we were more personally catered to.
I’ve had a wonderful introduction to the city of Vancouver, and am excited to come back again for a longer stay to explore these areas more for myself.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so happy our Vancouver City tour was the perfect fit for your layover and helped you adjust after such a long flight, and that your introduction to the city was a wonderful one! We look forward to welcoming you back for a longer stay sometime soon!

Excellent tour that gave terrific overview of Vancouver. Visited iconic places like Stanley Park, Granville Island, Tower lookout, Gas Town and downtown Vancouver. Megan, our bus driver and tour leader was great, allowed time to stop and look at things and take photos, explained everything and didn’t talk too much. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Response from Host, May 2025

It was very easy to check in; the bus was very comfortable; our guide, Bernie, was friendly and knowledgeable. We had gorgeous weather seeing East Bay; Totem Poles; spinning chandelier; ChinaTown; and Gastown. The island of Granville was a favorite for cleanliness, relaxing, fibe, unique crafts, very good food, and so many musicians playing fine music! Prospect Point held good views of the bay with Lionsgate Bridge; and Vancouver Lookout had grand panoramic views of the city. We enjoyed history as told by Bernie and his wit. He was a lot of fun. I give this excursion a 10!
Response from Host, May 2025
