Itinerary
Pass by: Departure from Downtown Vancouver!
Pass by: Snap a postcard-worthy pic of the five white sails of Canada Place flared toward the sky, while learning about the convention center’s construction for Expo ’86.
Pass by: Catch glimpses of Vancouver’s rich diversity as you cruise down Robson Street, chock-full of shops from high-end retailers to indie boutiques, fine dining to hole-in-the-wall eateries, sports bars to cafes.
Pass by: Now you are on your way to Stanley Park and its 1,000 acres (400 hectares) of natural oasis.
Pass by: Cross the historic Lions Gate Bridge. It is a suspension bridge that crosses the first narrows of Burrard Inlet and connects the cities of Vancouver and North Vancouver.
The trek along the Capilano Suspension Bridge will afford you an unforgettable perspective. Enjoy activities such as the Cliffwalk and Treektrek and of course the main attraction of the bridge itself! (Treektrek will be going under maintenance between Feb 5 to May 31, 2024. The rest of the park will remain available for exploration).
Located in False Creek, Granville Island where the locals go to shop and relax.

Great experience!
This tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Vancouver! The Vancouver City Tour, Granville Island, and Capilano Suspension Bridge were all incredible, and everything was well organized. A special thank you to our driver and guide, Greg, with Westcoast Sightseeing. He was knowledgeable, fun, and genuinely cared about everyone on the tour. His stories, local history, and recommendations made the sights come alive, and his great sense of humor kept us entertained throughout the day. He made sure everyone felt welcome, stayed on schedule, and had an amazing experience. If you’re looking for a wonderful way to see Vancouver, we highly recommend this tour. And if Greg is your guide, you’re in for a truly memorable day!
Great experience!
We had an amazing time on the Vancouver City Tour, including Granville Island and Capilano Suspension Bridge. It was the perfect way to experience some of Vancouver’s most beautiful and iconic attractions. A special thank you to Greg, our bus driver and tour guide with Westcoast Sightseeing. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts and local history throughout the day. He also had a great sense of humor, making the tour both fun and engaging. Most importantly, Greg genuinely cared about everyone on the tour, making sure we were comfortable, informed, and enjoying every stop. His enthusiasm and professionalism made the entire experience memorable. We highly recommend this tour, and if you’re lucky enough to have Greg as your guide, you’re in for a fantastic day!
The tour guide was...
The tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local neighborhoods we traveled through. Our tour happened to take place on the same day the FIFA Canada soccer game was going on and our guide was able to navigate the MANY closed roads to still get us to all of the destinations without delay. KUDOS!!!
Great tour!
Jessica W. was our tour guide. She was funny, polite, professional, and very knowledgable about the area. I appreciated her recommendations. It was good to see different areas of Vancouver. Times at each stop were about right for me. I found myself around being the last or second last person returning. Birds of prey were a neat treat at the bridge. The tour is good blend of nature and city. Highly recomended if you prefer a smaller tour group.
