We had a fantastic experience on this tour. Our guide, Jessica, is just the best you can ask for. She is by far the most knowledgeable guide we have had on a tour. We started with a city tour, spent 20 minutes at the totem poles in Stanley Park, spent around 2 hours at the Capilano Bridge Park, and about 2 hours at Granville Island. It was a beautiful day and we thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the tour. We would highly recommend it.

The Capilano Suspension Bridge was great fun. Anthony had lots of interesting facts to share with us.

This was a great way to see the city and not have to drive! A smaller bus picked us up from the designated pickup point and delivered us to our tour bus. It was very comfortable and Dave did a great job informing everyone of the history and development of Vancouver. We really enjoyed the Capilano Suspension Bridge. Something to experience if you don’t mind the bridge swaying! It is a beautiful place to visit.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the convenience of the pickup and a comfortable, stress free way to explore the city.
Dave is a great guide and it’s wonderful to hear how his knowledge brought Vancouver’s history and development to life. The Capilano Suspension Bridge really is a memorable experience, especially if you don’t mind a little sway.

Was the highlight of Vancouver to see the Canyon Lights at Capilano suspension bridge. I had no idea when I booked it that the lights were up and it was the last night. It was magical, I wish we had more time at this location. We saw Stanley Park and ate lunch at Public Market in Granville then drove through Vancouver seeing landmarks due to the protests that were occurring downtown. I wish we had more time at each spot but I realize it is a long tour. I definitely will go back to these locations to enjoy more. This is a perfect tour if you only have a day or two in Vancouver.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for the review! We’re so glad the Canyon Lights at Capilano Suspension Bridge were the highlight of your time in Vancouver. We appreciate your feedback about timing at each location and are happy to hear you’re planning to return and explore more. It’s great to know you found this to be the perfect tour for a short visit to Vancouver.

Great experience. Had sufficient time at Granville island and at Capalino bridge. Would have been better without rain but we were given umbrellas. Small group allowed a great tour. Driver tour guide was quite knowledgeable Of Vancouver.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for the review! We’re so glad you had a great experience and enjoyed having enough time at Granville Island and Capilano Suspension Bridge.

We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour!

Did not get to go on the tour because the bus driver failed to pick us up at the planned pick up point. We were there at the appropriate time and were even early. We were told he would come into the hotel lobby and pick us up and he never did. I called 3 times and was told each time he would be there. The last time I called I was told that he already started the tour without us. Then the policy of the company was to only refund 70% of the fees! I do not recommend this company for tours in Vancouver.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced. Our driver did pick up other guests at your hotel, and our team did their best to amend the situation in real time. We understand how disappointing this was and appreciate you sharing your concerns.

Zero stars
The most boring and repetitive tour I have ever experienced. I wish I had four hands, so I could give it four thumbs down.
After not being welcomed and given clear guidance on exactly where to meet 30 mins prior, we started 22 minutes late after one passenger (who also did not get guidance and went seeking advice) was called and provided alternative arrangements.
The sites visited were significant; however, we were driven to service souvenir shops, rather than the experience all that those sites had to offer.
The tour vehicle itself was old, noisy and detracted from the experience. It was uncomfortable and not to the standard of which the cost of the tour would justify.
These negative aspects made the whole tour a disappointing experience and could have been a sizeable amount of money better spent elsewhere. At this point, I feel that our point has been made - disappointing to say the least-catch the free shuttle to Capilano.
Response from Host, Dec 2025

The tour was good in itself, but what made it a great tour was our guide, Steve!
Steve really elevated the tour experience for us - we saw all the main attractions in Vancouver and left it feeling really satisfied as a customer.

Leslie is the best. I'm almost certain he's a walking encyclopedia. I've never learned so much history about a place as I did with him and I love it!, you can see the love he has for what he does, not to mention his great sense of humor. As for the tour itself, it was excellent; all the stops are 100% recommended, and I think the time allotted for each stop is perfect. On the way back, he was incredibly kind and dropped us off at a stop much closer to our accommodation. I definitely recommend this tour—100 out of 10.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for the review! We’re thrilled you had such an incredible experience with Leslie. He’s a true expert who brings history to life with passion, humour, and care for every guest. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed each stop and appreciated the thoughtful timing and attention he provided throughout the day. We truly appreciate your glowing recommendation and kind words!

It was great - lots of walking . Very informative guide. Nice to have a small group. Could have used less time at the Capilano Bridge and more time at Granville Island.

Capilano Bridge and the surrounding area is a “don’t miss “. The city tour was great. Our tour guide was great. Filled with information and concern for our comfort. Really appreciated the tour guide taking us to Granville Island at the end of the tour so we had a choice to stay or leave. We stayed and traveled back to our hotel on our own. Well worth it.

Personally would have preferred more time at Capilano suspension bridge than Granville
Note
Unless pushed for time use the free bus to Capulino and get a bike for Stanley Park

My sister recommended ViaTour to me and suggested I visit Granville Island and Stanley Park. Luckily, ViaTour had a tour that encompassed both sites and several more. The downside was just a lot of traffic.
