This was a very last minute buy for us, like literally 1 minute on my phone before the 9:30 pickup,…read moreand it ended up working out really well. We were staying at the Fairmont Waterfront, so getting picked up right at Canada Place made it super convenient. I just showed the tour guide my Viator booking and we were good to go. Paid about $114 on Viator for 2 adults, my 5 year old was half off, and my 2 year old was free, so I thought that was pretty fair for a family outing. The full loop is about 1 hour 50 minutes if you stay on for the whole tour, and there are around 21 stops, so it's a good way to see a lot of Vancouver without having to figure out transportation yourself. The guide on board was really funny and kept it entertaining the whole time. I forgot his name, but he definitely made the ride better. The driver was also very friendly, I believe her name was Maria. Trolleys come about every 30 minutes and there were 4 running when we went. They also give you a website to track where the trolley is at, which was actually really useful when planning where to hop back on. We used it to stop at Granville Island and it made getting around pretty easy. Overall, I thought this was a good tour for a last minute Vancouver plan. Easy pickup, funny guide, friendly driver, and convenient hop-on hop-off option if you want to see a lot of the city without driving around yourself.

Pickup was on Cordova Street, a short walk from Canada Place where we just finished looking over the four cruise ships in port. We had a friendly and knowledgeable tour director and driver (didn't get his name but he was a middle aged local Chinese man) who kept us entertained the entire tour. We started at the west end of Vancouver, highlighting the expanded Westin Bayshore Hotel and the yachts docked on the waterfront, leading to Stanley Park, which is a world in itself. The beauty and abundance of flora and fauna, totem poles, the sea wall where folks bike and walk and get away from the world. From Stanley Park we drove back through the West End via Denman Street to English Bay, then up Robson and Davie Streets. Once we hit the Burrard Street Bridge we went through the Museum District, then on West 4th in Kits to Granville Island where we hopped off. We thanked our driver and tipped him (darn, I didn't take a photo or get his name) and made our way through Granville Island to find food.

The one issue was boarding - I only saw one bus on the schedule and thought it would be the only bus leaving Whistler - there were two buses and we boarded the wrong one. Fortunately we arrived early and the driver made an announcement to take a different bus to the airport. I was surprised he did not say anything when he scanned our tickets. It would have been a perfect experience if we didn't have to disembark and remove our bags for a different bus. There are a couple of additional stops along the way and the bus was not crowded getting to the airport. The bus ride was smooth and clean. As for recommendations getting from the airport to Whistler - I would recommend it only if you know the drop off location and how far you have to carry your bags to your hotel and you don't mind the extra stops from the airport to Whistler. A two hour Uber with an almost exact drop-off versus a potentially three hour bus ride - it gave us time to check-in, find a restaurant for dinner and enjoy the Fire and Ice show at the mountain on Sunday (which was not a planned).

While this isn't billed as a tour, the ship's captain was kind enough to narrate the landmarks (including each owner of the the vast row of yachts docked nearby!) that we were passing as well as each of the stops and what adventures could be had there. She was really entertaining and kind, as she also helped with several lost travelers standing at one of the stations. It was a smooth ride on a sunny day and the views were absolutely gorgeous. FYI, there are no amenities on board, so no concession stand or washrooms, although the ride roundtrip is only around 40 minutes -you don't really need it to begin with.

Very convenient AquaBus ride from Granville Island straight over to Yaletown, spending some time walking around and hanging out there, and then coming back to Granville Island for the rest of the day. It's such a short and sweet ride, but you still get to enjoy beautiful views of False Creek along the way. Another favourite is taking it over toward Science World and making a whole afternoon out of it. You can visit Science World, walk around False Creek and then head back to Granville Island. It's also really pretty at night when all the lights and signs are reflecting on the water. After spending a long day at Granville Island, hopping on the boat and just enjoying the ride is such an easy way to end the day. And the best part is that it's cheap! For the price, it's such a fun little Vancouver experience and something I keep coming back to and always making sure to have my out of town guests join in as well!

BC Ferries provides essential passenger and vehicle ferry service across coastal British Columbia,…read moreand overall, it's a reliable way to travel. We bought our tickets at the Capital City Station on Douglas Street in Victoria, and Sandy was absolutely wonderful, friendly, helpful, and patient. She even got us seats for October 13, 2025, which was Thanksgiving. Every company needs a Sandy, she deserves 5 stars for her service. Once we boarded the bus, things went downhill. Our driver, James wasn't very approachable. His responses were short, and he came across as a bit grouchy. It was a holiday, so we understand, but as first-time passengers, we found his instructions unclear and he seems to not welcome questions. When the ferry docked at Tsawwassen, we didn't hear it was time to reboard the bus to continue to downtown Vancouver. We missed the announcement and ended up being left behind, but our checked bags and personal items were still in the bus to Vancouver. Thankfully, the staff at Tsawwassen terminal were great. They guided us, called ahead to Pacific Station BC Ferries, and made sure we could retrieve our bags. When we finally reunited with the bus, James didn't seem particularly concerned or empathetic, which made an already stressful situation feel worse. We blame ourselves for missing the bus. But for future improvements, clearer announcements and louder overhead speakers would help first-time travelers. Even a quick name call for missing passengers would go a long way.

It was a super quick Uber ride from our downtown hotel over here which was nice, compared to having to drive all the way down to the airport. Amtrak goes from here to Washington and Oregon, and the prices are really affordable too! Much less than flying! However, be sure to arrive at least 60 minutes early before your train as the line gets long! They manually check your ticket and then stick you in a line to clear US Customs before boarding the train! Our train ended up leaving 15 minutes early, because everyone had cleared the customs line. Taking the train takes much longer than driving but it is really scenic along the way! Great views from the windows! We Will definitely consider this option again on future trips to Vancouver!

No food or beverages other than vending machines and the bathrooms were just okay. Not many amenities or nice places to sit. I would take this bus again, but would limit my time in the station itself.
