The tour is educational and I liked that there is a live map available to see where the other trolley is running. We can conveniently control and manage our time. The tour guides and drivers were very entertaining. Travel is smooth and seamless.

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! 💯

Love hop on hop off

Danielle_M, Oct 2026
I always take the hop on hop off in a city. It’s a great way to get to know the city. Our guide Suki was very knowledgeable and it’s always fun to learn about history or anecdotes. You can stay on and enjoy a complete circuit first if you want and then get off at the places you are interested later or just hop off and hop on multiple times. It’s about 40 minutes between each tram.

Very nice tour. I ended...

Kathryn_J, Oct 2026
Very nice tour. I ended up leaving my backpack on the trolley and with a phone call to the company. They went out of their way to get it back to me very much appreciated..

Easy & Convenient

Stephanie_K, Oct 2026
The Hop on Hop off trolley was very convenient and made getting to many sites very easy. Most of the drivers and guides were very friendly and helpful. I recommend this 100%.

Great hop on hop off

Suzette_C, Oct 2026
This hop on hop off was great. It took us everywhere. We wanted to go. We would recommend it to anyone.

Not worth the money

Marylene_C, Oct 2026
Honestly, don’t waste your money on this hop on hop off trolley bus. The buses are old and the windows are held closed with paper towel. The guides were funny and that’s why I gave a 3 star rating. They need to update the buses or retire them

It is a good experience....

Mamadou_C, Oct 2026
It is a good experience. The driver Jay was funny. Affordable price, the bus goes around the city and passes by all the major must see.

Trolley adventure

Tom_S, Oct 2026
Back of the trolley is noisy due to the motor and sound system was just ok. The driver was very knowledgeable and very service oriented. The route covers all the areas I wanted to see and know about.

Great experience!

Rosalinda_O, Oct 2026
Arriving at 9am, we took full advantage of a day filled with sightseeing. Our 1st tour guide, Suki, was courteous, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. It was a great day, hopping off at sites & catching the next trolley.

Vancouver Hop on hop off

Charlotte_P, Oct 2026
This was a great way to see Vancouver, including Stanley Park and Granville Island. We got off in Stanley Park and walked about 30 minutes to the Totem Poles. The was a nice little open air gift shop and cafe there with some tables out front, a great place to pick up some souvenirs and have a tea/coffee. We then got back on the trolley and off at Granville Island. We were near the end of the tour there and it was late in the day so our tour guide was kind enough to direct us how to take the bus back to the train station to get to our hotel. Can't remember his name, but the guide was informative and personable. All in all, it was a great day! We would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Ginette_C, Oct 2026
Great. Was our first time downtown Vancouver. It gave us key spots where to visit during our stay. Guides were very helpful.

Will always use the Hop On/ Off bus in any city.

Great tour operators and this is a great way to see a city. The live map allows one to see when the next bus is coming so it is easier to plan your hop off experience.

Hop on Hop off Trolley tour. Five stars *****

Suzanne_B, Oct 2026
It was very interesting. Both the driver and thé guide were very friendly and knowlesgeable. It Made for a perfect tour. We highly recommend it

Fun scenic ride!

camille_A, Oct 2026
Such friendly staff. The tour guide and bus driver were interesting and made the ride enjoyable. We enjoyed the trolly over the double decker bus.

When you visited Vancouver BC, you should try this Gray Line Trolley Hop On Hop Off

Maria_A, Oct 2026
We usually join hop on hop off tour bus to every city we visited if they’re available because this is a very effective way for us to know the city history and highlight places in such a short time. But with this gray line trolley is so much more enjoyable as riding the antique trolley itself is quite an experience plus entertaining tour guide and driver really added personal touch. Chris and Ryan are the champs, thank you for spending time with us!!

Orca Trip

James_K, Oct 2026
Very knowledgeable Dudes. Loved the live tracker to see were the next trolley arrival time. Would definitely use again.

Preferred over double deck tour

Lee_S, Oct 2026
Friendly and informative guide and driver. I like the more personable and intimate environment of the trolley over the much larger double decker tour buses.

Tram tour around Vancouver

Peter_R, Oct 2026
Seats on tram are firm, so not comfortable. The audio microphone and speakers were not working on the first tram, so tour guide struggled until a new unit was made available after 35mins.

Shannon_D, Oct 2026
A nice overview of Vancouver. Driver was very knowledgeable. We found the stops to very convenient to key sights.

Worth it!

Leelee_L, Oct 2026
Well worth the money! My husband and I learned quite a bit about the city. Thr stickers were wonderful and very entertaining.

Wonderful Overview of the City

Danielle_W, Sep 2026
Great overview of the gorgeous city of Vancouver. We did one full loop with Lynn and got a great feel for the city, its neighborhoods and all it can offer. We then stayed on for a second loop so we could hop off to explore the totem poles and have lunch (definitely a must do stop), so we got a second tour guide for the remainder of the loop and she was FANTASTIC - she shared lots more history and fun facts (but we forgot her name!). A great tour if you have limited time and want to see all you can!
