Best Tour Guide Ever!!
Our guide was the best!! A native Canadian he knows the history. He took his time to explain, but made it fun & entertaining. Not only that, when he realized we were boarding a cruise ship in the afternoon, he made accommodations so we could pick up our luggage, still enjoy the tour, but also arrive to the port in time!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that your guide’s knowledge, entertaining commentary, and thoughtful service made your experience so memorable. It’s especially wonderful to know that he went the extra mile to help coordinate your day so you could enjoy the tour and still make it to your cruise on time. We truly appreciate your kind words!

Good to see the city - but app is lacking
The route wasn’t the same as the app. The live tracking on the app wasn’t working. I would recommend you really know where the pickup spots are before you head out as it can be confusing when the app isn’t working.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not run as smoothly as expected and understand how important clear, reliable information is when navigating the tour. We appreciate your comments and will share them with our team as we continue working to improve the overall guest experience.

Our First trip to British Columbia.
could be extensive waits for next bus during off season. we just took the entire circuit without getting off. still gives a wonderful overall feel for the city and some history as well. you could not get this level of experience just by driving or walking around.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're delighted you enjoyed the full loop and found it a great way to experience Vancouver's highlights and history. We appreciate your feedback regarding wait times during the quieter season and will share your comments with our team. Thank you for choosing Big Bus Vancouver!

Terrible Customer Service
The busses do not stop. We were standing out of the wind, and the bus never stopped. We are at prospect point and I will be standing in the cold wind waiting for the next bus.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience you experienced while waiting for the bus. We understand how disappointing this must have been, especially while waiting in cold and windy conditions. Your comments will be shared with our team as we continue working to improve the reliability of our service and overall guest experience.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vancouver.
How much does Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park cost?
+
Prices start at $53 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 Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3,459 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Vancouver, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park?
+
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 Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park?
+
Around 1,211 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park 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 Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park?

Not included: Hotel pickup and drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Korean, Japanese, English, Chinese, French and Spanish. 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 Hop-on Hop-off Tour by Double Decker Bus with Stanley Park?
