5.00A huge shoutout to Sherry! We’ve done many bus tours, but Sherry is in a league of her own. Her passion for history is infectious, and she has a wonderful way of making the information interesting for the entire family. We learned so much and had a blast doing it. Sherry is a true gem!
Make sure you get to ride with Sherry!

5.00We are traveling from Brisbane Australia. The Big Bus is always the best way to get around a new city. Sherry just like the Spanish wine our driver was wonderful. Her humour and knowledge and suggestions of things to see and do were great. Well worth doing the Big Bus and it’s a bonus if you get Sherry! Thank you for the giggles and love your purple hair Sherry! 😊 🇦🇺

5.00We always grab a big bus on our city visits as these are a great way of sight seeing and getting the lie of the land in a new place. Big bus Vancouver did not disappoint and a particular shout out to two brilliant and very entertaining drivers in Simon and Sherry. Both provide their own humorous commentary and interact with the passengers which made for a much better experience than the drivers who rely on the pre-recorded voiceover. Highly recommended.
