Your day starts when you proceed to street level at the pier where convertible clear top buses depart every 20 minutes for a tour of Vancouver with world-class commentary in seven languages.

Explore at your own pace with your 24-hour hop-on, hop-off sightseeing pass. There are more than 20 stops, with ample opportunities to sightsee, shop and photograph the stunning jewel of British Columbia. Robson Street is the center of Vancouver's most famous shopping district and it's set in the heart of downtown Vancouver. In the three block stretch between Burrard and Jervis you will find a commercial mecca which includes premier fashions stores, fine dining, services and all the amenities of a world-class metropolis. Then you're off through the residential skyscrapers of Coal Harbour heading for a stop at the Rose Garden in beautiful Stanley Park. Here you can soak up the fragrance of over 50 varieties of roses set amidst a larger, landscaped garden of perennials, annuals and bulbs that slope down the causeway to the Stanley Park Pavilion.

Your journey will sweep around the edge of Stanley Park, voted #1 Urban Park by Trip Advisor. Take in the awesome views of the Burrard Inlet, the North Shore Mountains, the Lions Gate Bridge, Prospect Point Lookout, The Tea House and of course the view over the Pacific Ocean. As the park ends the views continue with English Bay and the Vancouver Seawall, favorite destinations for outdoor enthusiasts who come to walk, run, cycle, Rollerblade and relax on the beach. Cross the iconic Burrard Bridge and hop-off at Granville Island, a charming district filled with theatres, restaurants, galleries and shops. For a view of the city's cultural life, the tour offers stops at the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Vancouver Public Library, an architectural masterpiece. Then step into the world of 15th Century China at the world-renowned Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden. See graceful wing-roofed pagodas set amidst trees, ponds, bridges and rockeries, an oasis of calm in the midst of bustling Chinatown. Gastown evokes the rugged charm of the 1860s. Its most famous landmark is the steam-powered clock, built as part of the city's steam-heating system. The district, once a rough-and-ready gathering place for loggers, fishermen and seamen, has grown into a hip mix of old and new.

When you're done exploring disembark back at the pier.
