ANNOUNCEMENT!
Our Big Bus Hop-on Hop-on service will be changing to reservation-based tours on October 15th 2010 and will remain as such until April 15, 2011, when our open-top buses will come out of hibernation and our Hop-On Hop-Off service will resume for the summer season.
This is our answer to a more Eco-Friendly approach to winter operations - no unnecessary fuel usage means a smaller carbon footprint.
Our winter service will consist of 4 hour Vancouver City Highlights tours on our comfortable and cozy winter-equipped buses. We will need at least 2 days lead time to accommodate languages other than English. Big Bus team members will be available at the Big Bus Welcome Centre to serve guests throughout the winter season.
