Whoa man! Vancouver is amazing! I had never seen the city before and I’m glad I hadn’t because the charm would’ve been minimized had I visited this amazing city on my own. GoldenBusTours planned such a comprehensive tour for everybody that it was hard to not enjoy. I will definitely give this tour company 5 stars and give recommendations to everyone I know. Try GoldenBusTours if you are looking forward to an affordable, well planned trip.

If you want to travel with comfort, go for the bus tours offered by GoldenBusTours. The company has got luxurious buses that are well maintained and offer the best services to their customers. I really enjoyed our seven day tour from Vancouver to Butchart Garden and Canadian Rockies. The tour was well planned and carried out with good detail as well. We got enough time to explore all destinations and had a wonderful experience. I’d give five stars to this amazing tour company.
