Disappointed

Disappointed .. in summary, paid $128, was on bus only 2 stops, waited in cold 90 minutes …then had to walk back to hotel because buses stopped running at 5:30. Have been unsuccessful in finding connection to request refund

Try and get on Sherry’s bus!

Well, as so many of the reviews, we were lucky to have had Sherry as our driver and tour guide. Cool, calm and collected as well as full of facts and info about Vancouver and the places we passed by. We did ‘hop on’ another bus for a short distance but it was a pre-recorded thing, pretty naff and kept cutting out. Sherry’s trips should be marketed. They’d be full all the time!

Sherrys Hop On Big Bus Tour

Shout out for Sherry. I can see she has loads of great reviews so it seems we were lucky to get her. Came here to give her a great review and can see I’m not alone. She is funny and made it so interesting. We run a coach company in the uk so if your employers don’t look after you , give us a shout and we will give you a job.

Totally disappointed

Very disappointed, bought ticket at 3:30, waited outside 30 minutes for bus, first. Us accepted our tickets, only to tell us wrong bus, they dropped us odd at next stop, to wait for another bus. Next bus was 47 minutes later & told us “last run of the day”. They had us get off at next stop to walk back to our hotel. Total time on buses was about 18 minutes, wait time (outside) about 90 minutes and only went to 2 bus stops. Unable to find way to communicate for refund ($123). The actual tour guide was fantastic..not her fault poor communication
