A long day, but well worth it. Plenty of time to explore. The driver/guide was very experienced and knowledgeable.
The night before tried to work out which of the 2 places I would go to for getting picked up and couldn't for the live of me find where and how to access the address provided for the "formal meeting point " at 909 W Cordova Street( no number or business name on the building ) Decided to wait at the Century Plaza Hotel option . Didn't recognise the bus as no name on the side of the bus saying who it was . However once on the bus it was brilliant . Mark was very personable , knowledgeable about the areas and their history and a good driver. The bus was very comfortable. The scenery was exquisitely beautiful and the weather was on our side - sun shine for half the day , no rain ,a slight breeze. There was an Art Festival at Lost Lake which added another dimension. A wonderful day. ,
We only had 3 people on this trip so an SUV was used. Mark, our driver knew how to avoid the "bus tour crowds" at all the venues he took us to. Very knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely recommend!

We’re especially glad he was able to enhance your experience by avoiding busy crowds and making your visit more enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future. Warm Regards, The Trolley Team
The bus ride, was great. The visit to Shannon Falls gave us wonderful photo ops, as did the sea to sky gondola ride. Really appreciated the time in Whistler, where we enjoyed a nice meal and got in a bit of shopping. Andre our driver/guide was very amusing and informative throughout the trip. We were very pleased with the extent of the itinerary and quality of service.
This experience was unbelievable. Our tour guide Mark provided so much history and details during our tour. The stops we made along the way were fantastic. The Sea to Sky Gondola was incredible. Whistler, the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics Alpine skiing events, was beautiful. Stopping at Shannon. Falls on the way back was a bonus. One of the best excursions I have ever been on. A lot of the credit goes to Mark.
This is a must do trip when visiting the area…. Our quiche Mark was amazing and he was very knowledgeable about the area and history….. Mark was the best tour guide that we’ve very had…… I would give this more than. 5 star if we could……
Such a well-organized and relaxing tour. We loved every stop along the way, especially the gondola and suspension bridge overlooking the fjord. Whistler was beautiful, our driver gave us enough free time to shop, explore, and enjoy the mountain. She made the day even better with great recommendations and entertaining commentary.
The scenery was stunning from start to finish, and the Sea to Sky Gondola offered some of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen. Shannon Falls was a perfect quick stop for photos, and Whistler Village was lively and charming.
We had a great time with a small group of six. We all enjoyed our day. Whistler is a pretty little European looking town and l am so pleased we got to see it. Shannon Falls is beautiful and the Sea to Sky lift and suspension bridge were fabulous we had plenty of time to look around. The weather was fabulous, which was a bonus!
The drive along the Sea to Sky Highway alone was worth it, but the stops at Shannon Falls and the Sea to Sky Gondola made it unforgettable. The views from the gondola were breathtaking, especially crossing the suspension bridge at the top. We had plenty of time to explore Whistler Village and grab lunch. Our guide was funny, informative, and kept the whole day running smoothly. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Vancouver!
