What travellers are saying
- Jim ERedondo Beach, CA50 contributionsPaid $19.00 for a day pass and it was more than worth the price, started off heading to Granville Island, spent a few hours looking around caught the Aquabus to all of the other stops got off and looked around at each stop, got on again and moved to the next one. Longest wait for a ride was less than 5 minutes. Staff was very friendly, ride was smooth. Great way to get around False Creek for some sightseeing.
Highly recommended.Written October 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RockiroadsOshawa, Canada1,254 contributionsThis may have been the best way out of the airport to downtown Vancouver. Thanks to Rob! I was worried about pulling luggage on a public rail system. But I found many people were doing it so it was normal. The train was almost relaxing. The hardest part may have been getting your ticket at a Kiosk. Everyone seemed to have a problem with it. And act quick when you get on with your luggage as it can get in the way. Luckily we were in the front of the driverless train and had a good view and lots of seating in our space. We got off downtown, not sure if we could have transferred to another system to get to the Hyatt on Burrard so we decided to walk from there. A bit gruelling up hill so look carefully on where you should get aff for your downtown hotel. Some may need an uber?Written September 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Stephanie D1 contributionHad an excellent experience with Skylynx bus shuttle! Michael, our driver on Tuesday (21/11) from YVR to Whistler at 12:15, was friendly and made the journey enjoyable. On Thursday (23/11), our driver Harry at 13:30 was not only as handsome as Michael but also drove so smoothly that I was asleep the entire trip back to Vancouver. Both drivers provided top-notch service & deserve golf holiday trips. Kudos to Michael and Harry for making our travel comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommend Skylynx for a smooth ride and great drivers! Five stars! 🌟Written November 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dirk H1 contributionOur company chartered buses with Perimeter for two days of corporate functions in & around Vancouver. All services were operated without problems, even during heavy traffic in Vancouver. Perimeter reservations made sure that enough time was allocated for the back-to-back shuttle services between the hotel on Georgia Street and Granville Island. Competitive pricing, good communication and clean, and modern buses ensured our company a flawless experience. We will be using Perimeter for all Vancouver area transportation needs.Written November 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Full sized SUV, immaculate with a professional Driver.
We have used Excel Limosine for years and every experience was 100% excellent. On time and safe. Howie and the Drivers at Excel always can be depended on and are a great example of.....you get what you pay for.
See you guys next trip to Vancouver!Written November 16, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Convenient pickup for us directly outside our two hotels, Fairmont Waterfront and Empress, which was bang on the stated time.
The coach is first on and first off the ferry but you are given plenty of time to explore the boat, have some food and enjoy the scenery.
Only negative comment, and a big minus, is that the smaller bus we transferred to on the return to YVR airport was in a very poor condition. It was dirty and the seats very badly stained, looked more like transport for construction workers than coach passengers. Otherwise would recommend the service.Written September 19, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You get on the boat in Granville Island, and they take you right to Snug Cove on Bowen. the driver is friendly, knowledgeable about the area, and the trip was excellent!Written July 18, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VHCUnited Kingdom68 contributionsWe used Epic Rides for a return transfer between Vancouver and Whistler. Both times the coach was at the stop 15-20 mins early and we were able to get on and it left promptly.

I had done my research and bought my stored-value card and added sufficient cash to get me started. I rode it to where I was staying and alighted. It worked ! Subsequently I loaded day tickets (unlimited travel), more cash and rode trolleys, regular buses. and more trains. It all worked fine.Written September 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Marchien ALadner, Canada3 contributionsOur driver Nacho (Ignacio Augusto) was great. Was on time and very courteous. The car was maculate and was nice and warm when we got into it.

- Brent WJohnson City, TN34 contributionsSeattle to Vancouver BC, There are currently two train only passages per day, 7:50a & 7p. We took 7:50a trip from King St. Station. Station opens at 6a, so no need to arrive earlier. Baggage check opens at 6:15a. Next is Canada passport check opens at 6:45 but line forms at 6:30. 2 lines: 1 for business, 1 for coach. Boarding begins around 7:30. Train leaves station to north so west ( left) side has better views. All important pink paper given at Canada passport checkpoint is key document along with your ticket.Written September 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
