Weather can be unpredictable so pack accordingly. Great way to see the area of Vancouver, Squamish, and Whistler. Knowledgeable guide.
Bruce was great and gave us lots of information. The attractions were amazing. Make sure to plan something in whistler.
A brilliant day seeing the best that the area can offer- Shannon Falls, gondola ride up the mountain and Whistler villages. Our driver Sennon (the Irish man) was very knowledgeable and entertaining with his commentary during the trip. Would highly recommend this trip!

My family and I enjoyed the beautiful sceneries on our way to whister . Weather was a little cloudy , and it was raining on and off. The only thing was that we had a little over Three hours stop at the whister village, which for us was a little too long. 2 hours is plenty, since it's a very small village.

Excellent day trip to Whistler! We stopped and see the waterfall and then the Sea To Sky Gondola was amazing!! Then to Whistler which reminded me a lot of the Banff area. This little mountain town is a must see! There is beauty all around you with the mountains - lots of shopping and places to eat!

Everything was great until the Sea to Sky Highway (Route 99) completely closed due to a car accident and we did not get back to our hotel until 4am
