Today West Coast Sightseeing and Vancouver Urban Adventures collaborated to entertain the family who refer to themselves as the “WING DINGS.” It is a tradition for the Wing Dings to gather their family from across the United States for their annual family reunion. This year Vancouver was on the list and a full day of family fun facilitated by yours truly included – transfers around the city, a walk across the Vancouver Suspension Bridge, a delicious dim sum lunch at Floata Seafood, and a customized Vancouver Walking Tour through Urban Adventures.
Many thanks to the Wing Ding family for a great day and sharing their family experience!

Yesterday we sent 3 buses full of eager tourists to Victoria on our Victoria & Butchart Gardens Bus Tour. Kate Diteljan, a Custom House Currency employee and photographer (in her past time), captured a great shot of the Inner Harbour with a West Coast bus plugged in the mix. If you can sift

Look at this video of the bridge between North and West Vancouver being moved in one day. That’ll keep our buses rolling happy.

Bus tours in Vancouver come a dime a dozen. Good bus tours in Vancouver are a little more rare. GREAT bus tours in Vancouver are definitely hard to find! Recently we’ve done some surveying of our customers after they have been on one of our tour buses and below are a few positive comments we’ve received.
Vancouver City Highlights Tour
“We wanted to ‘see it all’ and did we ever! Our guide was enthusiastic and a fantastic story teller. We learned about so many unique aspects of Vancouver and covered every element that we wanted to through our research prior to visiting this amazing city. Highly recommend this tour as the best way to see Vancouver.”
- Becky Evens (Austin, Texas)
Grouse Mountain & Capilano Suspension Bridge
“We heard Vancouver has breath taking nature, but didn’t really understand what that meant until we experienced it for ourselves. Our Vancouver tour bus guide was informative and very entertaining adding some wit to an overall fantastic tour. We walked the Capilano Suspension Bridge (Wow) and took the Grouse Skyride (Wow x 2). Best Vancouver bus tour you can do hands down!
- Sharon Milton (Sidney, Australia)
Victoria and Butchart Gardens
“When researching our trip to Vancouver it seemed that Butchart Gardens were every where. I thought the tour wouldn’t meet the hype. I’m happy to say I was wrong! What made the tour so special was our West Coast Sightseeing Tour Guide. He was so knowledgeable about Vancouver and Victoria that I wondered if there was anything he didn’t know (I asked him… he said “the migrating paths of birds in the area, but I’m looking into it”). Great day, Great Gardens, and Great Company! Thanks West Coast!

West Coast Sightseeing is adding a whole new refreshing element to our tour line up! “What could that be” you ask? Well, let’s just say it involves a river, rapids, and scenic drive up to Squamish. In case I wasn’t obvious enough, West Coast is proud to present our Canadian Outback Rafting Adventure.
We will pick you up, take you on a scenic drive to Squamish, and pass you on to our Canadian Outback Rafting Partners who will guide you to the Elaho River Valley – perhaps the greatest River Valley on the planet! Rafting is pretty self explanatory but some emotions you may experience on this journey include, but are not limited to, Exhilarating, Excited, Adventurous, Nervous, and Soaked!
Give us a call or check out our online itinerary for more information!

Yesterday and today a 40-foot Grey Whale has been seen right in the middle of Vancouver, in False Creek! Looks like humans aren’t the only intelligent beings that like Granville Island.
