Fun holiday adventure with the family

Melissa_H, Dec 2025

Steve was a great tour guide. Great overview of Vancouver, lots of information about the different neighborhoods, handled getting us through holiday crowds expertly and was happy to answer all our questions. Capilano Bridge did not disappoint, the lights are gorgeous at Christmas.

Matt_H, Nov 2024

Leslie was a fantastic tour guide! Stanley park, Grantville Island and Capilano Bridge spots were amazing to visit! The Christmas decorations in the forrest and the bridge were a once in a lifetime experience. The food market at Grantville island was excellent as well! Trying to do this all yourself would be much more difficult.

Capilano Canyon Suspension Bridge lights

MarkJ_L, Dec 2023

The spectacular lighting of the suspension bridge and adjacent rainforest and treetop walk was a highlight, but I am confident that a daylight tour showcasing natural beauty would have been just as enjoyable.

What a great tour for anyone visiting Vancouver for the first time! Our guide Jason was incredibly nice and funny, he gave us enough time to explore on our own too. The best part was the visit to the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park which was completely decorated with thousands of holiday lights.

Vancouver City and Capilano Suspension Bridge Canyon Lights Tour

TommySurya_T, Jan 2019

The tour guide was really nice and he was driving for the whole day. The place was really beautiful especially the Capilano, we were lucky that the weather was so good! Thank you and definitely will come again.

The Highlight of this tour was definitely the Canyon Lights Tour

Dean_A, Dec 2018

We did not think too much of the city tour. We briefly drove through Gas Town, China Town, and Stanley Park. There were 2 short stops at Canada Place and Stanley Park. We enjoyed the Capilano Bridge Park. We were given 2 hours which was 30 minutes too long. The park is well worth visiting. Especially in the evening to see the lights..

Great tour!

ROBERT_H, Nov 2018

Our guide, Herman, was very knowledgeable and engaging. Vancouver is such a great city and this is a wonderful way to explore it. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Vancouver. If you are staying there, it is best to take the tour towards the beginning of your trip so you can be informed on the city first. It was awesome!

SUHYUN_Y, Feb 2018

It was a great time although the tour started 30mins later and finished 30mins early. Haha The guide was such a talkative person to give us many tour information while driving. Thanks a lot :D I selected the tour because of Capilano Suspension Bridge Canyon Lights!!! I took a tour on the last day.

Danijela_K, Jan 2017

This was amazing! The tour was incredible and we got to see so much of the city which prepared us for what we were going to do for the rest of the 6 days! The tour guide was AWESOME! He knew so much and we had many stops which made it even better! :...the Capilano Suspension Bridge was out of this world and especially with all of the light! This is a must do when you are in Vancouver! We enjoyed every minute of it!!!!

Nicole_V, Dec 2016

Loved this tour! Such a perfect afternoon. Loved seeing the totem poles in Stanley Park and shopping on Granville Island. The Canyon Lights were beautiful, but obviously it was very dark, so you don't fully experience the beauty of the canyon. I will have to go back to the bridge during the day!!
