Things to do in Canada, Canada: The Best Hop-On Hop-Off Tours

November 4, 2021 Diedre Savory

World class skiing, decadent European style cuisine, ornamental cathedrals, peaceful island life…Canada is a patchwork of thriving cities and majestic wilderness. Montreal beckons travelers with its French charm and booming cultural landscape. In Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario is a vision of Frank Gehry architecture and national artistic treasures. The gleaming mountain ranges of Banff set a stunning backdrop for an exploration of the Canadian Rockies.

Our guides visited with each group on the bus so we could plan our day. They marked our schedule on the itinerary so we would know when to get back on the bus, and everything worked out perfectly. We were able to visit the most popular places and not worry about parking. We were very happy with this tour.

Reviewed By Kate P

This is a great way to visit. The only issue we had that in November the frequency of the busses did not allow us enough time to hop on and off, too much lag between busses. We got to see the castle in Victoria, but that was all. We wound up walking through the park to get back to the Empress in time for tea! So the lack of frequency is our only complaint.

We didn't realize it was going to be such a big deal but it was. This ended up being one of the best choices we could have thought of for our team building vacation. We ended up taking advantage of the Hornblower cruise, and our memories still last today. The price was smashing, and we think that you would also enjoy this tour as well.

As a result of Covid, my fiance and I were unable to go back East to visit our family and friends and therefor decided to book a tour with Yellowknife. We were very eager to get out on the water! With that, Verda quickly organized and confirmed our tour for the next day. In addition to catching SO many fish, we had a wonderful experience with two local fisherman. After a few hours of fishing in several different spots, we then enjoyed a traditional fish fry meal on an island - Delicious! Thank you Verda! We look forward to booking another tour with Yellowknife Tours!

We took the express tour with Oliver & Claude as our guides. It was easy to find near the top of the Funicular. It started raining so Oliver let us on the bus a little early but it stopped as the tour started so we all went to the top deck. I would recommend taking this tour early in your stay to get a good orientation of the city and then you can see some of the places that might interest you to visit later.

Excellent tour highlighting all of the things I love about Vancouver. The Capilano Suspension Bridge and a tour of the beautiful city of Vancouver. The city had changed dramatically in the 20 years since my last visit there.
