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).

Driver, Chris, and host Ryan were great! They gave excellent commentary and also suggestions on food and where to find areas you wanted to explore. The stops are difficult to find. I called the contact number and spoke to a human being who gave me good directions to the nearby stop

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! 💯

Lorraine_J, Jun 2026
Great way to see the city, we had Braden & Chris - very good and went above and beyond in information as well as some delightful little extras that made you feel special. Very much worth doing

Great experience!

Blake_S, Jun 2026
We really enjoyed the trolley! Braden was a great guide, very knowledgeable about Vancouver, enthusiastic and entertaining. Dave did a great job navigating through the tight streets. I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a great start to their Vancouver vacation or day trip.

A leisurely time

Judy_N, Jun 2026
The ride was comfortable and informative. It was a worthwhile 1.5 hr of our day. Spend a little time getting to know the city.

Overall disappointed with Vancouver Viator Hop On/Off Trolley experience.

Claudia_F, Jun 2026
We booked luggage storage during our Hop On/Off Trolley experience in Vancouver. The directions given to drop off our luggage were inaccurate and we spent a good part of the morning rolling our luggage all around Vancouver looking for the drop off site. We called a Viator operator and she was not helpful at all. She really had no idea what she was telling me. We finally found the luggage drop ourselves and finally got on the trolley. The tour guide was just so-so. He mostly told us about the restuarants he liked in each location. We were expecting so much more. Maybe a little history of Vancouver and some interesting facts or info about the different stops. Overall, disappointed. Though we would guess another tour guide would have made for a better experience.

Tour is good, buses need upgrading.

Shaun_D, Jun 2026
I enjoyed the bus tour, it was good and unique ride. The guides were kind, as was the driver. Unfortunately on my second loop, the bus did breakdown, so I can't mark it highly. I did like how there was a person talking, in other cities, it's a recorded playing, so I hope you continue with the personal touch. The buses feel a bit worn out, make some odd noises (the first one not the broken down one). I didn't like how the tour was interrupted by a disorganised traveller who hadn't purchased a ticket, so the guide had to stop and process the payment.

Was ok. But Vancouver was beautiful.

Linda_S, Jun 2026
It was nice. I think they needed more trolleys. They only had four running. The steps were like 20 minutes each.

If you have the time….It’s Helpful todo the whole route first so you know where you may want to get off to investigate.

The drivers and guides were very friendly and accommodating. The live feed to trace the buses locations was extremely helpful, as you don’t have to wonder when the buses will be coming.

Vancouover trolley

Jeanne_E, Jun 2026
We waited a LONG time to catch the trolley and did not know the route in advance. The web site needs to be updated with times and routes. Trolleys need to come more often too. It did a good job of going through Stanley Park and narrating sights.

JASWINDER_M, Jun 2026
It’s convenient! Friendly and very helpful! All tour operators were very informative and knowledgeable.

Easy way to see downtown and Stanley Park

Lauren_C, Jun 2026
Great way for an overview of downtown Vancouver and what the offerings are. Lots of stops in Stanley Park. Tour guides and bus drivers are very friendly.

Great Tour

Jessica_T, Jun 2026
Interesting tour with personable guides (Brayden and Lynn). Easy on and off at a variety of different stops. It was a great experience.

Disappointed

Michael_H, Jun 2026
Our trolley broke down and we had to walk back to our hotel. Our window would not stay open and it was very stuffy. I request a refund.

Denelle_K, Jun 2026
Awesome way to see a lot of vancouver in a little bit of time. Tour guides are knowledgeable and point out items for you to see.

Good tour of Vancouver even if you don’t hop off

Sharon_B, Jun 2026
This trolley featured a real, live guide and a driver who also chimed in from time to time. They were both lively and friendly and informative in a fun way. We rode the whole route without getting off at any stops (due to time constraints). It served as a good overall tour of the city, full of historical anecdotes, interesting factoids and even recommendations, as well as a few jokes that added to the experience.

I was disappointed that...

Shirley_L, Jun 2026
I was disappointed that the posted stops were so far away from the attractions. The driver Chris and his host (name was maybe Mike and they were older were great.

The driver and commentary...

Kristie_P, Jun 2026
The driver and commentary were great. He was a local with a lot of years of lived experience in Vancouver and therefore had a lot of stories to be told about the local history. However, we were very disappointed that the first trolley didn't leave until 9:30. It was advertised as 9:00, but they didn't open the stand or check in our luggage until a little after 9, and the trolley left at 9:30. It was a tight squeeze after our cruise and before our flight, but we were hoping to get off at least at one stop. Because they got things going late, that didn't happen..

Trolley Bus

Jacqueline_S, Jun 2026
Visits all the sites around Vancouver. The bus was a bit rattly and noisy which meant that it was often difficult to hear all the information given. The live bus app was very good for knowing when the next bus was nearby.

Great way to see...

Cathy_M, Jun 2026
Great way to see Vancouver in a day!!! All guides/drivers were awesome! Easy marked pick up areas. We would do it again.

Perfect way to get around Vancouver

jily96, Jun 2026
Cute trolleys, great commentary, super handy way to get around town and see some sites! Take the trolley, not the bus!

Good way to see the city

Peter_F, Jun 2026
Give yourself time to go the whole loop, see where you want to go and go back around and get off and on. So much fun and had a great time listening to our tour guide.

Dissatisfied

Neil_K, Jun 2026
Tour guide and driver were great, but very dissatisfied using hop on hop off. Only 3 trolleys were available. I waited 1 hour for the first trolley picking it up at stop 21 and getting off at stop 12. Missed the next trolley and it wasn't convenient to wait another 45 minutes for the next. Took ubers the remainder of the afternoon.

All of the tour guides...

Roy_C, Jun 2026
All of the tour guides very knowledgeable, personal and fun. Great tips. Great overview if the city. Only 1 recommendation specific to online info about your. We are staying at Best Western Premiere on Granville which still shows as stop 16 online and sign still on street. We were going to wait there for pick up but fortunately decided to go to Harbour to get on. We then found out from tour guide that our hotel is no longer a stop. We would have waited a long time there. Please update your site

Guides are very knowledgeable and entertaining. We were able to hop off and catch the next trolley on our schedule.

Fun Time

Cynthia_B, Jun 2026
Very Conviently located to our hotel and interesting history lesson of the area as you travel through Vancover

Vancouver Trolley is the best!

Julie_M, Jun 2026
Great way to see the city! Our tour guide Brendan was super informative and gave us some restaurant suggestions that were spot on! I like that the trolley is able to go farther in Stanley Park where the big buses cannot due to height.
