The guide was very well... - The guide was very well informed with his commentary and we enjoyed learning about the area. We had plenty of time at each of the stops to explore and take photos of the sights.

Great tour, scenery, and food! - The scenery was phenomenal. Our tour guide Clarkie was knowledgeable, soft spoken, and very informative about the town. He also gives very clear instructions on when you need to return to the bus, things to do, places to eat at different locations, etc. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes as you'll be walking a lot. Look up restaurants and things to do/see in advance of going to Whistler as you'll be spending most of your time there.

Fantastic and Professional!! - It was a great experience. Tour bus was spacious and clean. Tour Guide Mr Clark-e (I am not sure if I got his name right) was very professional. Provided very clear, step by step instructions and made good recommendations in terms of the routes or food to make sure we optimise our time and experience at every stop. The tour operator Ms Anna was also very prompt in responding through the Viator App (download it!), from confirmation of booking to instructions on pick up etc. They messaged me on Viator app and SMS the day before and actual day. At first I was worried about having 4 hours at Whistler Village being too long. Turns out it would be just right if you want to explore some of the trials. It can be too long if you are just having a meal and window shopping. Overall, very good experience!

Great trip - A really great trip. Mic, our driver and guide, was both competent and friendly. My only comment is that you don’t have a huge amount of time in Whistler, certainly not enough time to do some longer hikes, however, it’s still enough time to grab food and have a little explore and walk. I’d definitely recommendation if you’re staying in Vancouver!

A Fantastic Day - First, our bus driver Peter was the best! So informative and the safest driver on the road. Second, this trip is fantastic! I highly recommend it! Shannon falls are beautiful and the short walk to the viewing platform was beautiful as well. The gondola ride is the most amazing gondola I have ever been on! It was raining when we went up and I would still say it was unbelievably beautiful and spectacular. Having 4 hours in Whistler was perfect. Lots of places to eat and drink. Lots of desserts and treats. Plenty of great stores, especially sporting clothing stores. Be sure to go to the end of village center to watch the dirt bikers coming down the hill. What an amazing setup. I was fascinated to see how they got the bikers and bikers on the lifts. Be sure to go to Village North to have your picture taken in front of the Olympic rings. What a treat. And last, but surely not least, the views of the fiords up and back were wonderful. You'll be happy you allowed a whole 11 hour day for this trip.

Great - Sea to sky highway and the gondala was amazing. Wish we had more time on the mountain, there were so many trails and the two small ones I felt comfortable doing (time constraints) were breath taking. This portion of the trip could’ve been an all day trip in itself for me. Whistler was neat, but I wish had known the timeline of when we would’ve been there so we could’ve added an additional activity while up there versus just eating and walking the shops. Likewise I feel Whistler could also be an all day activity
