We had Dan and Jake as our host and driver. They were fantastic! Loved the storytelling and heritage from Dan as we drove. He had a way with humor that made it fun and lively! Very knowledgeable about various aspects of Stanley Park that were especially memorable. Super with giving us extra time at some stops for photos and always ready to grab the camera and snap photos of us. A definite 10/10 highly recommend

We took this bus for two days and learned a lot about Vancouver. We found the guides and drivers to be very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating!
Mike_F, Aug 2026
We caught the last run of the day and it was obvious the driver and host were done. Felt rushed and overpriced.
Deborah_R, Aug 2026
Wonderful trip. Chris the driver was awesome!! Gave us suggestions on what to see and the full trip around was helpful to know where everything was located.
MaryBeth_M, Aug 2026
The trolley was so easy to use. You can follow live to know when to head for the stop. Everyone was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. The best way to tour Vancouver.
mabgurneetravel, Aug 2026
Great way to see what Vancouver has to do and see. Beautiful bays, lots of bicycles and plenty of good restaurants.
Diane_J, Aug 2026
This was a great way to get our bearings in Vancouver, including stops to get off and explore Stanley Park and Granville Island. Trolley seats not the most comfortable, but live app is great to know when to catch next trolley.
James_S, Aug 2026
Trolley tour was great overall.
Did have issue with trolley not stopping for us at stop downtown. I had to catch up with trolley at red light and knock on door. Not easy to do for me as I am 75, and still recovering from back and hip surgery. Trolley guide (Kenny) thought it was funny. My wife and I did not
Timothy_B, Aug 2026
Great way to see Vancouver. It was a rainy morning and this made everything easier. I enjoyed the live narration and efficient way to see a lot to make choices about where to hop off and explore more.
HeatherCline, Aug 2026
Don't book if you're visiting during the Alaska cruise season (summer months). They way oversell tickets for the amount of trolleys they have running. The first 2 trolleys that came by were too full to pick anyone else up (and they only come every 1/2 hour). We had to take an Uber to a different stop to try to get on. So we wasted a good portion of our day just trying to get on.
Linda_H, Aug 2026
Braydon and Brad were super. We made the round trip with them. Entertaining and informative.
We also Lynn for a driver and she was great as well.
Only complaint is that they should run routes longer than they do. As it stays light it would be nice if they ran until 6 or 7 at least.

The tour itself was ok. It could use more info about history of city or some insight into culture or current events. The trolley bus was old and in need of refreshing. The seat cushions had no cushion left in them. The drivers seat broke and it took 3 employees about 15 minutes to fix. With an early afternoon start there was no opportunity to hop off unless you wanted to find an alternative way back. At some stops the bus was full so clients had to wait an additional 1/2 hr for next bus. I certainly didn’t want to get off only to think I might be at a stop longer than planned due to crowd. Maybe consider adding another trolley bus to fleet? Because of traffic and crew change for lunch our tour lasted almost 2.5 hrs. Too long. I found the customer line not helpful. I called to see how to book with a pick up at my hotel, which is a stop in the material on line. The agent told me there was no stop and I needed to go to the 390 Robson St, which was a long 10 city blocks away. There is no 390 Robson. Turns out the stop is on the other side of street in front of library. Also, it turns out there was a stop at my hotel on the “Big Bus” so not sure why he booked me on “Trolley Bus”. The Big Bus also ran 2 hours longer.

An entertaining way to tour Vancouver and Stanley Park. The guides were fun and informative, even sharing personal history and experiences. The only complaint is that the trolleys stop very early. It would be great for them to run till 6 or 7.
Kathy_S, Aug 2026
Signing up was very easy.
Schedule varies a bit. Seems like it was affected by the half marathon earlier in the day.
Laura_G, Aug 2026
Great to figure out where you want to go if you've never been to Canada. Loved our tour guide driver!
Ronald_K, Aug 2026
Great way to get around Vancouver at a reasonable price. Chris and Ryan were our driver and tour guide respectively. They were very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Cheryl_C, Aug 2026
Absolutely wonderful! We saw the whole city on a relaxing trolley ride. It was the best!
Completely enjoyable!
Janice_S, Aug 2026
You may do a bit of walking at your different stops. Be prepared. But you choose where to stop. All the stops have things of interest, food of every kind,
Bonnie_G, Aug 2026
It was very personable with a live representative speaking to the guests. We were able to ask questions, enjoy their humour and appreciate the stories about Vancouver.
David_D, Aug 2026
Good experience. Well narrated.
Easy to access with pleanty of stops around the city.
Recommend starting the tour early to take advantage and get more opportunities to HO-HO at differnt stops.
Amanda_P, Aug 2026
Able to ride the trolley around and get off at stops and hop on. The rotation of drivers you would get various facts about the city. The drivers are willing to provide some recommendations while on the ride.
Gary_R, Aug 2026
Great information. Really enjoyed hearing about all the stops. Worth the price. Very interesting stops.
Kim_H, Aug 2026
It was a good tour but 5 of the stops were not available due to the Pride Parade. It should’ve been a discounted price as we missed one of the popular spots.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour overall. We sincerely apologize that several stops were unavailable due to the Pride Parade closures. These events are managed by the city and can occasionally impact our planned route, but we understand how disappointing it can be to miss some of the popular attractions included in the experience.
We truly appreciate your understanding and will continue working to communicate any possible route changes as clearly as possible. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
Marvin_H, Aug 2026
Very comfortable, informative and pleasant experience both trips we took... Pride Parade created some issues with stops on 2nd day but nothing insurmountable.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had a comfortable, informative, and pleasant experience on both of your trips with us. We appreciate your understanding regarding the Pride Parade route changes and are glad that our team was able to make the experience enjoyable despite the temporary adjustments.
Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
Edward_T, Jul 2026
Lack of communication left our group of 10 people stranded when the city closed the road the bus route was on, we couldn’t find stop seven due to poorly marked signage and wound up having to walk all the way back to stop 4 to get back on the bus where it was being detoured. The bus windows were filthy and seating was very uncomfortable. The drivers were nice and tried to help but seemed to be working hard to overcome broken down equipment. We wound up missing half our trip and were unable to get off at stop 17 since it was too late and there weren’t enough buses to pick up the 30 or so people waiting on a bus at that stop.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the challenges you and your group experienced during the tour. We understand how frustrating the route changes, communication issues, and delays must have been, and we appreciate your patience.
We’re glad to hear our drivers were helpful and will be sharing your comments with our team to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you for taking the time to let us know.
Richard_B, Jul 2026
Guide was extremely knowledgeable and great interaction. Seats are definitely lacking of substantial padding.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the guide’s knowledge and interaction throughout the tour. We appreciate your comment regarding the seating and will share it with our team as we continue working to improve the guest experience. We hope to welcome you again soon!
Jeanine_J, Jul 2026
Never even made it to the trolley. Vancouver is filthy and disgusting and the traffic is so ridiculous, it took us an hour and a half longer to get there then our NAV said at the time that we left. Tried to contact the operator, but since no human ever answers the phone, we were not able to get through. After having a drugged out person walking out right in front of our moving car while we drove down the street, and watching other people peeing on the sidewalk, we had had enough and left before ever making it to the trolley.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We're sorry to hear about your experience. It sounds like the traffic and the situations you encountered in the city made for a very frustrating day, and we're disappointed you weren't able to make it to your scheduled tour.
While we unfortunately can't control traffic conditions or what happens elsewhere in the city, we understand how those circumstances affected your plans. We also apologize if you had difficulty reaching us by phone.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, and we're sorry you didn't have the opportunity to experience the trolley tour.
Laura_R, Jul 2026
A affordable way tontake a tour of the city. It was very easy to hop on and off at designated areas. Would have loved to have gotten closer to the FIFA soccer ball and sport stadium. We did hop off and walked closer.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We're so glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the feedback, we will relay it to our team :)
Robin_W, Jul 2026
Much more personable than the BIG BUS !! .. not crowded ! Our drivers/guides were GREAT with wonderful senses of humor 😀
Raymundo_P, Jul 2026
You can start the journey from whichever spot from the stops you choose from. Only need to show the ticket and you at good to go. À new trolly come every 30 min approx.
SUSAN_K, Jul 2026
Recently in Vancouver and trolley stops were difficult to find, even with the live map. Trolleys were packed, no one getting off and could wait an hour or more. We had to call for an Uber to pick us up at Stanley Park totem poles because we were unsure we could get to the stop we needed in order to make our whale watching tour.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
We are so sorry about this. We had a particularly packed day and will share this feedback with our team to better prepare for the next time. We hope you found some enjoyment in the experience and we sincerely apologize for these issues.
