★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 43 reviews · from $203Our pick

Review of Vancouver’s Victoria and Butchart Gardens Christmas Tour, with ferry views, holiday lights, timing, price, and practical advice.

“Really good tour! I enjoyed the ferry ride through the Gulf Islands (so pretty) and went to the shops (Munro Books) and the Museum on Government Street. The highlight was the Butchart Gardens Christmas lights which were beautiful! I really enjoyed the tour and the fact we had free time to explore how we wanted to. Andy was a great tour guide - letting us know in advance where the washrooms and places to eat would be - things like that just put your mind at ease! He also very kindly dropped me back at my Airbnb which was nice as it was a late night!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 9 reviews · 150 minutes - 3 hours · from $52Best value

Review of Vancouver’s Christmas Lights Karaoke Trolley Tour, with Stanley Park, VanDusen, karaoke, practical tips, price, and honest drawbacks.

“Whilst the songs wrestle great we couldn’t get a park in Stanley park so had to miss it. Dan the MC was nice but couldn’t sing 😬neither could we though. One stop - the smiling statues ended up being 55 minutes since we missed Stanley park. So we went to a pub Then they were going to bypass the next stop but we insisted on stopping there and decided not to get back on as it was close to our hotel. Over all pretty disappointed and wouldn’t recommend”
