    KJ Limo is Truly Excellent!

    We used KJ Limousine multiple times while in Vancouver. Airport and cruise port transfers, and a private tour day to Capilano Bridges and Grouse Mountain. They were so responsive via email and phone when I arranged bookings or had to modify them. The drivers were all very kind and with excellent skills.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Lisa, for choosing KJ Limousine throughout your time in Vancouver! It was a pleasure assisting with your airport and cruise port transfers, as well as your 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City to Capilano Suspension Bridge and Grouse Mountain. We’re especially glad our team was responsive whenever you needed to arrange or adjust your bookings. We’ll also be sure to share your kind words with the drivers — they’ll be happy to know their friendly service and driving skills helped make your visit easier and more enjoyable. Thank you again for trusting us with so many parts of your Vancouver trip. We truly appreciate your recommendation and would be delighted to welcome you back!

    Please customize to guest request

    My husband, our 2 twenty somethings and I had just one day in Vancouver City. Our tour guide was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. When our guide picked us up I told him immediately that we wanted to spend some time walking around Gastown. He suggested we do our shopping on Granville Island instead which we were happy to do. Unfortunately the city was very congested that day.... we understood completely - that was out of the driver's control. However, despite knowing that the city was congested and that Granville Island and Gastown were our priorities, the driver did not adjust the itinerary. We began the tour driving through Stanley Park for well over an hour while the driver pointed out several trees. At this point time was tight and he took Granville Island off the itinerary. With just about an our left he drove us to Chinatown. I told him we didnt want to go to Chinatown, that we'd rather go to Gastown. He stopped anyway, insisted we get out and walk around for 5 minutes. At this point we'd been in the van for 2.5 hours and several in our party needed to use the restroom. He walked them to a nearby mall. When they finished he told us he needed to take us back to the hotel because we were out of time. Unfortunately and despite multiple requests we never saw Gastown nor Granville Island, just lots of trees in the Park. For a private and quite expensive tour, I would expect the guide to ask up front what he/she should prioritize and then actually do it! We were so disappointed

    Response from the operator: Dear Rebecca, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I am very sorry to hear that your tour did not meet your expectations and that you were unable to visit Gastown and Granville Island as you had requested. While our guide aimed to share highlights of Vancouver, we clearly should have prioritized the locations most important to you, especially given the limited time and traffic conditions that day. Jonathan is one of our best driver-guides, and this was likely a one-time momentary mistake. I am truly sorry, sorry that this happened and that you left feeling disappointed. If you are still in Vancouver and need transportation to YVR, we would be happy to offer you a complimentary ride along with a one-hour tour to see Gastown and Granville Island. Please let me know if this works for you. Your comments are important to us, and I will review them with our team to ensure we communicate better and adjust itineraries in real time to match our guests’ priorities. Regards Hing Jong

    Great way to start our Alaska cruise

    Our driver, Jonathan was amazing! We had people in our family from 73 to 12 and everyone loved the tour. It was a great way to start our Alaska cruise!!

    Response from the operator: Hi Carla, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that Jonathan made your pre-cruise tour memorable for everyone in your family. It's fantastic to know that our tour provided a great start to your Alaska cruise. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon! Safe travels! Regards, Wendy Mok KJ Limo Team

    3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port): questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.

    How much does 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) cost?

    +

    Prices start at $486 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vancouver usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vancouver is not rushed.

    Is 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port)?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port)?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vancouver can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vancouver and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vancouver within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Vancouver?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Vancouver experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Grand Bicycle Tour of Vancouver, The Stanley Park Bicycle Tour, Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Vancouver?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Vancouver?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port)?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Gratuities; Surcharges on fuel; and Parking fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 78 listed pickup locations in and around Vancouver. Be ready about 5 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Chinese, Cantonese and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port)?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to 3 Hours Private Tour from Vancouver City(Not YVR or Cruise Port) if the weather is bad?

    +
