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.

Traveler reviews
Vinny is a superstar tour guide
Vinny was our guide and we give him a 10! Very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. We had a great tour with him!
Definitely do this before you leave Vancouver!
We traveled today with Vinny the Gorgeous. He was excellent. We had the best time. We absolutely loved the Capilano suspension bridge and the Granville Island market. This was a fantastic way to see Vancouver before we flew out.
Disappointed
This is the first tour I’ve been on where I learned very little about what we were seeing. He dropped us off at the totem poles in Stanley park with absolutely no history or back story of their importance. We were quite disappointed, he doesn’t have the personality for a tour guide. We learned more today on another tour in 20 minutes than we learned in the 5 hour tour yesterday.
Vancouver 2026
Love the narrative as we were traveling through the downtown area and also the little bits of information regarding the different areas that we were seeing.
Vancouver City Tour and Capilano Suspension Bridge
A very interesting and informative tour of the City and surrounding areas, a great way to see some of the highlights of Vancouver life. Our Driver Simon was really good and gave us lots of facts and funny jokes!
