Loved our trip to Vancouver during the winter and this was one of the fun unexpected surprises. We didn't initially have this in our plans but we ended up having some spare time on the day before last, and our young one really wanted to do something. It ended up being a blast, lovely energy

Grant did and incredible job, perfect mix of holiday cheer and humor. The trolley was comfortable, the driver was super friendly, and the lights throughout Vancouver were beautiful. Singing carols together made it feel extra special
This tour exceeded all expectations. Liz and Lynn were absolutely delightful, making sure everyone was involved and having fun. The Christmas lights at Van Dusen were stunning, and singing together on the trolley created such a magical, joyful vibe.
The lights were breathtaking, the singing was nonstop, and the trolley felt like one big happy group. Friendly drivers, smooth ride, and memories we'll never forget. We tried their Halloween tour last year and had to try this as we always return to Vancouver during this time of year.
My son got sick the day of the event. We tried to give him medicine and rest through the day but in the end we didn't feel comfortable taking him. This decision was not just for him but everyone else. We request a refund not even a full one but were told we could come another day. We are from a different country and we left the next day. They asked for hospital records. He was not so sick we had to take him to a hospital. He had a fever, cough, sneezing, runny nose, and head ache. We were not dragging this child out into the cold wet weather. We are disappointed we couldn't go but also with the lack of support for something we had zero control over.
Lynn and Grant kept everyone laughing and singing the entire time. The Christmas lights were stunning, especially at Van Dusen Gardens, and the trolley itself was cozy and festive. The driver was personable and made sure everyone felt welcome. Such a beautiful atmosphere
Absolutely magical experience! From the moment we hopped on the trolley, the energy was incredible. Liz and Ryan were fantastic hosts!! engaging, and full of holiday spirit. The drivers were so friendly and made the ride smooth and comfortable. Singing Christmas songs together while cruising through Vancouver and visiting VanDusen was unforgettable. Pure holiday magic!
I had an awesome time at the Christmas karaoke trolley with our lovely hosts Ryan and Lynn. They rocked! Can't wait to come back next year.
I thought it was an actual trolley, but it is a bus which was enclosed, which was actually nice because it was cold outside, but it actually turned out to be very fun. This is something I would never do. I wanted to see the Christmas lights, but I’m not into karaoke, but it turned out to be a really fun good time and the tour guides were fun.
Great way to see the city , relax and get in the Xmas spirit. The staff were amazing, very knowledgeable and kept us entertained.
took the xmas tour with my family visiting from toronto - what an awesome night! the kids were literally bouncing with excitement every time we stopped at a new light display. my sister got everyone singing jingle bells and even the quiet folks at the back joined in eventually. pro tip
The Vancouver Christmas lights experience provided a delightful evening of entertainment. The carefully curated route showcased both grandiose residential displays and charming community efforts. A particular highlight was our stop near English Bay, where the beach trees sparkled magnificently against the water. The karaoke selection offered an agreeable mix of traditional and modern holiday songs
omg best night ever with the girls!! we took over the back of the trolley and literally sang every song. the guide (sarah) was so fun and kept bringing us extra hot chocolate. got some amazing pics of the lights at stanley park, and this one house in point grey was insane!! definite must-do holiday activity
The host and driver amazing! Funny, friendly, kind. Great songs, company. Though the wheel well drivers side gets very hot, almost burned my leg. Other than that great time! Already looking to bring friends next year.
Always fun to go Caroline and see the amazing lights at VanDuesen. We were a bit confused about the pick-up, the address given wasn't the correct address, so we saw trolleys turning down a street and followed it to the place where we boarded.
incredibile and wonderful. We did go during a suitable time for all things to line up spectacularly and we would be so happy to return
Big fan of this company's different variety of tours! I've done maybe 3? during this year but this is likely to be my favorite so far!
Enjoy it lots! Better one of the tours we did so far during our time in North america. I would be very happy if there was more like this
I wish I could give 2 reviews. One for my awful experience of how to get to the trolley and then my experience on the trolley. 3 stars is the average between both. 1 star for who provides details on pickup. App with tickets had one address that wasn’t able to be found. Called a number (which by the way is hard to find) and was told another address then was called by 2 different people with additional addresses. It was cold and walking around for an hour wasn’t my idea of starting a Christmas trolley ride 5 star for the trolley itself. Was great fun and Bray/Jay were awesome. I can’t recall the other girls name that started the karaoke, but she was great as well. Stops were fun and gave enough time at each place. The karaoke was fun and the kids had a great time!
If you are looking for a somewhat romantic, definitely magical way of spending a few hours with your partner, do not look further! We had an amazing time and wishing everyone else the same experience
Sehr gut! This was a fantastic tour for my family during our trip. We have been visiting relatives and I am glad we all decided to go for a new but delightful experience
