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.

Key city attractions including Vancouver's famous Stanley Park. 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.

Worst trip, not worth money and time.
Megha_R
, Jun 2022
This was one of the worst experiences. I would live to get refunded for this trip. It is untimely. Had to spend 45 minutes at one place due to bus dysfunction. The driver never told or offered to share any information about the places we were supposed to get down at. The cruise was booked for the time before I land in the city. Since it was booked through a telephone operator, did not give me enough information about the harbor cruise so ended up wasting the time and the money. Would definitely not recommend it to anyone.

A poor experience
MrsFM_R
, Jun 2022
Old rickety bus with plastic roll up windows near the back. I couldn’t hear the commentary as I sat by the window, with the wind and car noise blocking it out. Seats uncomfortable with little leg room. The markers on the map weren’t specific enough so it was hard to hunt down the stop if you hadn’t been to it before. The signs are very small and difficult to spot unless you are close to them. We ‘hopped off’ once and ended up walking for the rest of the visit . This grey line HOHO is the worst I’ve experienced, and is by no means cheap. Not recommended.

Terrible experience on hop on hop off bus in Vancouver
angelanienaber
, Jun 2022
None- we did not enjoy it. The bus driver’s headset was not working, we could not hear the audio, people were coughing and not wearing masks. It was miserable and we got off the bus as soon as we could and took a taxi and an Uber to get around.

Bad experience
Lydia_F
, Jun 2022
Worst hop on hop off experience to date. Couldn’t hear commentary on first bus and second had no commentary due to system being broken. Bus driver didn’t bother to call out what stop he was at whole system not working. Two of the three buses we rode had the plastic rain cover tops still installed in 66 degree, sunny weather. Miserably hot. Would not recommend this method of touring the city.

No Chinatown
Heidi_M

It was well organized and on time. I think riders should be warned about Chinatown before just being dropped off. Our driver asked if people wanted to get off and then when no one did and we drove through shared how sad it was.

Great way to see Vancouver
marie_h

This is great way to see Vancouver and decide what areas you want to go back to visit. The shuttles were timely at each each stop. On weekends and during the busy season you may have to wait for another bus due to capacity. Well worth it. They also had staff at most locations to assist.
