We thoroughly enjoyed the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus in Vancouver and found it to be one of the best ways to explore the city. It takes you to all the major attractions, allowing you to see far more than you could on foot while giving you the flexibility to stop wherever you like. We purchased our tickets at Stop 1, Canada Place, which is conveniently located right beside the cruise ship terminal and directly across the road from the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel. It couldn't have been easier to find, especially for cruise passengers. We bought the one-day pass and hopped on and off several times throughout the day, visiting different parts of the city at our own pace. It proved to be excellent value for money and saved us the hassle of navigating public transport or paying for multiple taxis. The buses weren't overcrowded during our visit, making the journey comfortable and relaxing. The commentary was informative, giving us plenty of interesting facts about Vancouver's history and landmarks, and the staff were friendly, welcoming and happy to answer questions. If you're visiting Vancouver for the first time or only have a day or two to explore, I'd highly recommend the Hop-On Hop-Off Bus. It's a convenient, enjoyable and stress-free way to experience this beautiful city.
Great way to get acquainted with a city, deciding when and where to stop for more exploration without having to rent a car.
Sometimes there's a live bus driver who is very knowledgeable and sometimes it's a recording that wasn't so good. Sheri was very good.
We really enjoyed our bus ride with Sherry this morning. We are currently hoping to hop back on with her for the next part of our day! She was very enthusiastic and informative with interesting information being presented as we were on the road. Her coworker Anna was also very nice.

This actually called BigBus. Because that was not noted on the site, we searched everywhere for the bus.

I always do the Big Bus Tours when I am in a large city that I have never been to. The route is fantastic and stops at everything I had on my list to see. Sherry was our guide and she was fantastic. She provided humor and facts rather than letting the pre recorded guide on the speaker do all the talking. Sherry was fantastic and you could tell she really enjoys what she does. She had me laughing the whole time while learning. Highly recommend the big bus tour in Vancouver.

Appreciate the freedom to leave the bus, visit a section of Vancouver, and hop on another bus to another destination. The audio for the trip highlights can be improved by playing before the highlight is reached.
