Return Details

You may disembark at any of the available stops.
You pick the starting place for your hop-on hop-off tour from one of the key stops in Vancouver—such as Gastown, the Robson Shopping District, or Chinatown. You can get on and off the open-top bus as often as you like to see the highlights of Vancouver at your own pace. Use your 24-hour ticket in a two-week period, with buses departing regularly.

Key city attractions including Vancouver's famous Stanley Park. From the park’s highest point, Prospect Point, you have great views of the Cascade Mountains and Lions Gate Bridge. Admire the exquisitely carved First Nation totem poles, the most visited monuments in British Columbia, at Brockton Point. If you have time in your custom itinerary, hop off the bus at a spot in the park where you can take a horse-drawn carriage ride (weather permitting).

If you're in the mood for some shopping, consider getting off the open-top bus at Robson Street, with tiny boutiques and big brand-name stores to browse. For a bite to eat, check out the array of food stalls at Granville Island’s Public Market.

You have two options for relaxing on Vancouver's beaches when you're ready for a break from sightseeing: The bus stops at Stanley Park’s Second Beach, which has an outdoor pool and great views along the park’s Seawall, as well as English Bay Beach, a popular stretch of sand in this coastal seaport city.

A 1960s school bus that has a noisy, rattling motor. Better get new buses if you want to stay in business in Vancouver!

A great way to see the city. Wrap up sit back and learn all about Vancouver. Guide/Driver was excellent but we didn't catch his name . He was from Ontario and he moved to Vancouver. He had a wealth of information and he really loved his job. We'll done!!

We got off on robson and went to the rock shop on granville, bought a pink floyd tshirt and a peace ring, we got off at stanley park and went to lost lagoon and read about the migrating birds and first nations history, our guide was simon most of the time and loved his style and sense of humor, we would never have known all the places there are to see and things to do if it weren't for the tour, you can't enjoy everything in a day and we will go downtown again and again to see it all, well worth the money to sit back and relax, we ended up at the art gallery eating spicy bowl from Mr. Shawarma and watching a young guy playing violin and enjoying seeing some local art

Love the hop-on/hop-off tour in Vancouver. Lynne our driver was very informative and approachable. I would recommend first doing the whole circuit that takes about one hour and then deciding where to get off and how much time you want to spend in the various locations.

I have used hop on hop off in several cities. This time in Vancouver was not good..the driver did not clearly state what was the spot we were approaching (all 4 drivers) also the busses were very late consistently, not very clean.. between the cramped, late busses an rude drivers it made for a miserable day.

Skip this and walk or take a cab.

I was told on the phone that the closest stop for me to start my day was a half mile away. In fact there was a stop in front of my hotel. I walked to the stop at Sutton Place and got on the bus. The driver was friendly and the bus became about half full. I wrote it until Chinatown where I got off and toured the area. I decided to skip the next two spots as they were interesting things to see along the way and went to Canada Place to pick up the bus to Stanley Park I decided to skip the next two spots as they were interesting things to see along the way and went to Canada Place to pick up the bus to Stanley Park. A bus had just departed, another one was being filled rapidly, and there was at least 3/4 of a bus load in front of me with the next bus not due for 20 to 30 minutes. I decided to walk to Stanley Park where I toured and enjoyed but when it was time for me to catch the bus again the bus was full. I waited for the next one (also full but she got us in). Essentially I paid over $40 for two inconvenient rides. My money would have been better spent on cabs.
