I went on the one they had in 2008. Was a nice time though we didn't get to get out to explore too much. I remember stopping in Stevenson, Burnaby Mountain and maybe a couple other places.
Two years later I was back for a different con and a group of us rented a car, found a map online and did our own location tour. We saw Jack's cabin, Sam's house and tons of other places that were too cool to describe.
Next year I'll be going with a first-timer and we may have to do this tour. She's never seen Vancouver nor any Stargate-related sites. She's really going to get a kick out of it. Can't wait to see her expression. 
... I was actually thinking about going with the bus, bhut since I don't know which places they'll show us I'm a bit uncertain... I really really want to see Jack's cabin *sighs*
So @Brenda sorry to bother you, I didn't understand, will you go with the organized bus tour or you gonna rent a car? In case you rent it and do your own tour would there be the possibility for me to join you and your friend (I'm a first time too) and the gas costs etc?
Is anyone interest in doing 'our own' tour? It would be reaaaaaaly fun!
I don't see it being a problem. Not hard to get a temporary Canadian drivers license and renting the mini van we had that day worked out to be about $20-25 each (there was 7 of us that day) if I remember correctly. It really depends though on my friend and what she wants to do and how much the bus tour works out to be.
I've heard there is a Plan A and a Plan B per Richard as to when bookings for the tour will take place.
Plan A: Main event ticket with add-ons
Plan B: Main event ticket without add-ons; Sale of add-ons will begin at a later date
If the tickets for the bus tour go on sale during the main event sale we may just wait. Getting the money together for the event may be enough for now. Will let you know!
Here's a pic of when we visited Jack's cabin.
