A beautiful trip with an amazing guide! - This tour was absolutely phenomenal! Rebecca was an outstanding tour guide with many useful tidbits of information to share in such a pleasant, caring way. She was upbeat and kind, and the trip itself was magnificent. The falls are beautiful, but the Sea to Sky Gondola views just could not be beat! Whistler is tough to describe, but truly had something for everyone! It was such an enjoyable day we will actually do it again when we return to Vancouver with family!

If you’re looking for a trip to Whistler this is the one - Plenty of stops along the way with photo opps. Guide was good! Would recommend to others.
Was also not the only solo traveller.

Byron— The master navigator. - Our tour began on a rainy Wednesday morning, with little hope of catching any beautiful scenery under the gloomy skies. But Byron—our driver and guide—quickly read the weather and asked if he could adjust the route based on his instincts. Trusting his judgment turned out to be the best decision of the day.
We ended up having a relaxing trip to Whistler, making spontaneous stops at charming cafés and scenic waterfalls he knew by heart. By the time we reached the Sea to Sky Highway, the skies had cleared, blessing us with stunning views and perfect weather.
Byron isn’t just a skilled navigator—he’s also a fantastic storyteller. Throughout the journey, he drove with care, predicted traffic patterns, and used his deep knowledge of downtown roads to avoid delays. If you ever cross paths with Byron, you’re in for a fun, safe, and unforgettable ride

Great tour especially if you are Percy Jackson (tv series) fans. - Fantastic tour! Bernie was our guide and he was wonderful. We enjoyed all of the stops, but Squamish and the Sea to Sky Gondola area was our favorite. If you or your kids are into Percy Jackson the Disney+ series, this is a tour you want to take. A few scenes were shot in this area and my kids can say they’ve been to Camp Half-Blood. We also made a stop at Porteau Cove at the Howe Sound. Spectacular! All in all, the tour was great and the scenic views were breathtaking. My family would love to take this tour again. Thanks Bernie!

Wonderful time in Squamish and Whistler - Wonderful experience with our driver/guide Byron. Very knowledgeable of the area. Shannon falls, sea to sky gondola, whistler were we visited the Squamish and Lilwat nations cultural center with a guided tour, then the Audain art museum. Couple stops along the way to breathtaking views. Beats renting a car.

Lovely day! Glad we chose this over a car rental. - Wonderful day with Byron our very knowledgeable guide. Comfortable small coach with 11 passengers (a few vacant seats.) Amazing views. First stop Shannon Falls, easy and pretty walk from the parking area. Saw climbers high above. Then to the Sea to Sky gondola where there was time to enjoy the view, visit the gift shop and enjoy coffee and snacks with a spectacular view. Then off to Whistler Village for on our own activities. We visited the Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Center where we had a nice lunch and joined the 1pm tour. Then walked to the Audain Art Museum. Very interesting building and collection. Walked casually through the village where there are shops. Stopped for a cocktail at a café. Bus departed 4:30 and we made 2 stops on the way back to enjoy the views. This was so much more relaxed and informative than renting our own car for the day from Vancouver. Thank you Byron!

- Rebecca is an amazing girl. I have come across several tour operators and guides but she is the best. She is extremely polite, kind and knowledgeable. She can go extra miles for her passengers. We were late to arrive at our pick up point due to traffic issues. She waited for us and still made us feel comfortable. She has all the human qualities that you can expect. She explains things quite clearly and allows appropriate time to the tourists to visit attractions. I wish her well.

Top of the chart - I found this trip very pleasant and good worth for the time and the money. Whistler is a quaint little village up in the mountains. The architecture and the ambience is unique.
The gondola trip in the Squamish was short and sweet. To top it all we had this amaze driver/guide Rebecca who was so sweet, knowledgeable, helpful and charming. She went out of her way to accommodate our late arrival to the pick up spot.
I would recommend this trip to everyone and be happy always Rebecca. God bless you.
