Traveler reviews
See it ALL in Vancouver!
Great way to traverse the city, reach the most interesting sights and have the flexibility to spend as much time as you want in any particular area. The wait time for a pick-up by the next bus was short (<7 min) if you plan your time accordingly. Sherry (like the Spanish wine) also provided great factoids about the area. She made the trip much more interesting than just a shuttle service to the next stop.
Best way to see Vancouver
An excellent way to see the city and get safely around hassle free. The female driver on the last bus today was exceptionally knowledgeable and professional. I was sorry to have to get off.
Good if you cannot walk far
All went smoothly. Guided tour was good. Traffic with starts and stops was horrendous but nothing the bus driver or company can do about that.
Sherry in Vancouver excellent tour
Sherry is amazing very knowledgeable and entertaining. Enjoyable ride, I would ride again!! Highly recommend. Great service, Sherry was very professional helped customers and kept her cool when a she had a rude person yelling at her for doing her job. It wasn’t his concern that was inappropriate but the way he treated her was uncalled for. She needs to know she’s amazing and we are happy we got to meet her.
Good way to see Vancouver
We took the Big Bus on our first day in Vancouver and rode the entire route just to see the sights in Vancouver. The bus driver didn’t make it clear which stop we were approaching. The next day we rode the bus to Stanley Park & stayed at the park for several hours. Then caught another bus to get back closer to our hotel. The driver on this bus did explain where we were & which stop on their route was approaching.
