Tour was great! Anthony our tour guide was awesome, very informative . Definitely would use West Coast Tours again.
We had a fantastic day on the Grouse Mountain, Capilano Suspension Bridge and Salmon Hatchery tour. Our tour guide/bus driver was excellent; friendly, knowledgeable and organized, with plenty of interesting information shared throughout the day. Everything ran smoothly, we never felt rushed, and made the experience enjoyable for both the adults and the kids in our group. It was a great way to see some of Vancouver’s highlights without having to worry about the logistics ourselves. Highly recommend!
Great experience. Simon, our tour operator was very knowledgeable and funny. Grouse Mountain was amazing, as well as Capilano. I do wish we had spent more time at Capilano, but it is what it is. It was nice to skip the lines and enter without having to worry about tickets.
It starts with people...Ayy-Hwa is an outstanding greeter. She was able to help us with our issue and made our ultimate trip great. The next day she also warmly greeted me. Roxy was also very pleasant. Simon15, our driver, did a great job and was entertaining. Places visited were very nice.
Jessica was fantastic, very patient, and nothing was too much trouble. She was very communicative and let us know what was happening all the time. Highly recommended.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that Jessica provided such attentive and friendly service throughout your experience. Thank you for choosing Westcoast Sightseeing, and we truly appreciate your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon
The tour bus was late for 45 minutes . We got 3 different excuses for the delay. No cut off time for late passengers. We were unable to compete all the activities in Grouse. Fishery was an anti-climax. Bus aircon wasn’t working.

A good way to tour some of the popular places in Vancouver; my family enjoyed the gondola ride and the lift chair to the top of the Geouse mountain; Simon the tour guide/driver was great; the only negative side of this experience was being on the tour with people who couldn't follow the directions, causing a delay for the whole group.
