Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola, & Shannon Falls Tour from Vancouver

Sarah_R, Jun 2026

I had an absolutely...

I had an absolutely wonderful tour today with Jason! He was phenomenal! Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the beauty and history of the area. His commentary throughout the day made the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations themselves. Jason also went above and beyond by taking us to a few bonus scenic stops, including Porteau Cove and Tantalus Lookout, where we were treated to incredible panoramic views of the Tantalus Mountain Range. Those unexpected stops made an already amazing day even more memorable. Despite there being so much to see and explore, Jason managed the itinerary perfectly. We never felt rushed, and everyone had plenty of time to enjoy each stop while still staying on schedule. It’s clear he has the timing down to a science. My personal highlight was riding the Peak 2 Peak Gondola in Whistler. The views are absolutely breathtaking, and the fresh mountain air is something you have to experience for yourself. This tour is an incredible value, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone wanting to make the most of their time in the area. You’ll leave with amazing memories, stunning photos, and the feeling that you truly got more than your money’s worth.

Victoria and Butchart Gardens, an Elevated Experience

vsimpson1978, Jun 2026

Take the tour!

Joe and Tai were an exceptional duo for our all day adventure. We were picked up from our hotel in a very nice and comfy sprinter van. They took us to a motorcoach which was our transportation for the days event. The motorcoach was top of the line and it was plenty of seating for everyone on board... it even had reclining seats for a nice nap on our way home. Tai was an amazing and safe driver while Joe was a knowledgeable and patient guide. I would highly recommend this tour as it gave us time on the sweet island of Victoria and allowed plenty of time in Butchart Gardens. Take the tour!

Book it..its a must

We had an amazing time and beautiful experience on this guided tour with Halley. She was extremely nice and made sure we enjoy every little moment of it, from informing us about each stop to sharing laughs and creating incredible memories. I highly recommend this tour and would do it again, truly worth it. Highlight of my Vancouver first time trip!!!

Grouse Mountain, Skyride Gondola & Capilano Bridge from Vancouver

Jennifer_K, Jun 2026

Fun experience

A good way to tour some of the popular places in Vancouver; my family enjoyed the gondola ride and the lift chair to the top of the Geouse mountain; Simon the tour guide/driver was great; the only negative side of this experience was being on the tour with people who couldn't follow the directions, causing a delay for the whole group.

Capilano Suspension Bridge Park Ticket

skorpiosboi, Jun 2026

Confusing Shuttle service

The Capilano bridge and park itself is great thing to do in Vancouver , at least once. The issue it seems is the shuttle service that could provide better instructions or a designated pickup location. I had chosen Canada Place not knowing all tour buses for docking ships pick up from there and on the day of my tour the shuttle was being rerouted! I had to take an Uber to get to Capilano but took their shuttle bus back to Canada Place when i was finished.

From Vancouver: Victoria, Butchart Gardens, & Gulf Islands Cruise

Lacey_A, Jun 2026

We had a great time....

We had a great time. Butchart Gardens was amazing! So many beautiful flowers in the sunken garden and the rose garden. Our bus driver was very knowledgeable and provided great stories along the way to all destinations. The ferry ride provided spectacular views, definitely a tour you do not want to miss!

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout

Victoria_C, Jun 2026

Fun and informative if Vancouver!

We had a very polite, knowledgeable and funny guide in Alex. He shared the right amount of information and anecdotes and did a GREAT job answering questions. I thought we’d never survive a 6.5 hour tour. I was worried it would be too long. But instead it flew by! We had plenty of time at each stop to explore and take pictures. We learned an incredible amount about the history of Vancouver and the current day city and suburban life. We’d definitely do another tour! A good value for the money spent. And if you are lucky enough to have Alex you’ll have a great experience.

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Granville Island & Stanley Park

Patsy, Jun 2026

Sam is a gift!

It was an orientation to the city tour, went to Stanley Park and stopped, Granville Island and stopped. Sam is not only an excellent tour guide, but he does magic tricks! Really excellent ones! He gave insights to the history of the city, told stories and answered a zillion questions. All while driving and working out some logistics issues. Absolutely worth it and an easy pick up!

Victoria & Butchart Gardens Tour with Ferry from Vancouver

Ann_W, Jun 2026

Fabulous day tour

If you have limited time in Vancouver, this is the best way to visit Vancouver island and the Butchart gardens. The pick up, bus trip and ferry crossing was seamless and went according to schedule. The only delay was the slightly late arrival of the ferry into Victoria. It would be a huge challenge to do this trip on public transport. It was a very long day but totally worth it. My other recommendation would be to stay on the island for a few nights, such as beautiful place.

Teresa_K, May 2026

Great private tour!

Hamad tailored our Vancouver tour to what really interested us. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting bits of information about the area. We loved the fact it was a private tour. It was nice being able to take our luggage with us, right from our cruise pickup. Also got dropped off at our airport hotel.

Vancouver Whale Watch Zodiac Tour with Guide

Tushita_C, May 2026

Absolutely amazing, couldn’t recommend enough!

I’ve been with this tour group before. The last time we had an incredibly close encounter with a few humpback whales. This time they had the right information and ensured we got to see a pod of 4 orcas! Brandon and Brandon the guides were very knowledgeable, kind and patient. Would return!
