We had an absolutely wonderful trip with Kim who has a wealth of knowledge about the gorgeous natural areas that we traveled through. The tour to Whistler and Squamish was definitely the highlight of our time in Vancouver. We also thought the tour was extremely reasonably priced for all that it included.
A fantastic day trip despite the day being drizzly and overcast. The Sea to Sky Gondola must be amazing in better weather. Even in the drizzle we were above the clouds at the top and enjoyed the suspension bridge and walking trails. Whistler was a must to see but probably a bit too much time there for me. Had a wonderful stop at Porteau Cove in the way back which was magic. Marcus our driver was fantastic. Very informative and helpful and added in the extra stop. Highly recommend this tour.
The trip was magnificent and the guide Rebecca is excellent too. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone who loves the mountains.
Excellent full day excursion! We got to see so much of the areas above Vancouver, especially Whistler, that really made our trip special. The only thing I wish I knew before was that we would have 3 hours in Whistler, so I could have booked a separate excursion. Otherwise Renzo was a fantastic, knowledgeable guide. I felt the trip was so personal. Thank you!
René was a fantastic guide: attentive, humorous and constantly working to make sure everyone felt at ease. With his passion, extensive knowledge and engaging way of telling, he really brought every location to life. The excursion was perfectly organized, with a pleasant atmosphere from start to finish. Thanks to his enthusiasm and personal approach, the day flew by. Definitely recommended – an unforgettable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great trip, Rene is fun and very gd tour guide 👍🏻👍🏻highly recommended, Rene will bring you a great trip ;)
Fabulous tour to Whistler with plenty of stops to take in the breathtaking beauty of the area. Also plenty of free time to explore at leisure. Our guide was Bernie who was very informative and who was great company in what was a relatively small group. Don’t forget your camera!
Bernie was very informative and funny. The trip ran very smoothly
The tour guide Name was Brandon. Worst experience ever......... We purchased a 10-hour day trip our group took in Vancouver on June 2026. We purchased a total of nine tickets for this experience, looking forward to a memorable family day. While there were aspects of the tour we appreciated, we unfortunately felt that the overall experience fell short of what we expected for the price paid. Our guide was a very sweet individual and was clearly highly knowledgeable, sharing excellent facts throughout the day. However, his delivery made it incredibly difficult for our group to enjoy the trip. Throughout the entire 10 hours, his speaking tone was completely monotone, incredibly quiet, and super mellow. Because he was so soft-spoken, it was very hard to hear him, and the unengaging delivery unfortunately put several members of our group to sleep. We completely understand that everyone has a different personal style, but for a lengthy 10-hour guided tour, clear communication and an engaging presence are vital to the experience. Listening to such a faint, bland presentation for the duration of the day cast a shadow over our family vacation, and we did not get the experience we invested in. The guides Name was Brandon
Hi Shawn, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear the tour did not fully meet your expectations. What we find somewhat surprising is that both in your correspondence with us and in your review, you acknowledged that Brandon was kind, knowledgeable, and provided excellent information throughout the day, while your family otherwise enjoyed the experience. The primary concern raised was his speaking style and delivery, which is naturally a matter of personal preference. Brandon consistently receives excellent reviews from guests, so while we appreciate that his style may not have been the right fit for your family, your experience is not representative of the feedback we typically receive. More importantly, the positive aspects of the tour that you highlighted simply do not align with what most travellers would consider a 1-star experience. As discussed in our correspondence, your request for compensation was based on this subjective preference rather than any failure to provide the advertised tour, itinerary, or inclusions. The tour operated as scheduled, and all services purchased were delivered. We appreciate your feedback and are glad your family was able to enjoy Whistler during your visit.
