Capilano Suspension Bridge Park
One of the things that makes life in Vancouver so fantastic is how the city is able to balance urban culture with jaw-dropping natural landscapes, and the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park is both jaw-dropping, and natural. You will be strolling among the trees of temperate rainforests and traversing the Capilano Suspension Bridge itself, towering over the breathtaking Capilano River. The Treetops Adventure connects seven viewing platforms to massive 1,300 year-old Douglas Fir trees. If you prefer to keep your feet on the ground, enjoy the Living Forest Trail, an interpretive walk along boardwalks and pathways that will have you learning about the forest before you even know it.
Granville Island Public Market
You will be wide-eyed with your first step on Granville Island. Although the most popular attraction on Granville is arguably the daily public market, there is much more to do. The neighbourhood is flush with some of the best food and drink Vancouver has to offer, more galleries, artisans and crafters than you can shake a paintbrush at, as well as live performances of both music and theatre. Granville Island is famously colourful with a vibrant, west coast vibe, so go with the flow and enjoy this modern cultural hit.

Each of our tours shine a spotlight on the region's most iconic landmarks, neighbourhoods, and culture — all with live narration from our expert guides. Don't forget your camera! Our oversized, tinted windows are designed for sightseeing so you won’t miss a thing!
Chinatown Vancouver
If one word could describe the people of Vancouver, that word would be diverse. Accepting so many amazing cultures brings opportunties and rich experience, and Vancouver's Chinatown is as rich as it gets! Being Canada's largest Chinatown district, your tour through the area will expose you to the lively atmosphere, the Chinese markets and coffeeshops, and the distinctly eastern architectural designs. Chinatown Vancouver is the home of the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Chinese Garden, an authentic 15th century-inspired gem of tranquility among the bustle of the streets. Chinatown in Vancouver is indeed an enlightening cultural experience.
Canada Place
If sustainable architecture is of interest to you, your jaw will drop when you see the buildings of the Vancouver Convention Centre. Even though the original East Building at Canada Place is an impressive sight on it's own, the West Building, constructed in 2002, is of a design that will inspire the environmentalist in everyone. You may notice the "living roof" covered in vegetation, but what you won't see is that the building's waste water is treated and recycled for irrigation of the roof. You also won't be able to see the building's LEED Platinum certification in sustainable design, or the building's PowerSmart designation, or it's GO GREEN certification for environmental best practices, but they are indeed all there!
Gastown
Beginning as a single pub back in 1867, Vancouver's Gastown has been entertaining residents and visitors alike for over a century. During your tour through the district the balance between the area's history and contemporary influence is obvious. Cobblestone streets lined with restaurants offering the best of modern cuisine, art galleries and hip boutiques providing a backdrop to vintage lampposts and the iconic Gastown Steamclock. Gastown is also renowned for it's First Nations Galleries, exhibiting the one-of-a-kind art of western First Nations artists. A tour through Gastown is an experience that will have you coming back again and again.
