What are people saying about Vancouver

Whistler Sea 2 Sky Gondola, Shannon Falls Premium Day Tour

Brianna_M, Sep 2026

Epic Views

This was an awesome way to experience some of the natural beauty around Vancouver and Whistler without having to worry about driving or navigating everything yourself. Our guide, Ray, was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive to everyone in the group. He made sure we had what we needed, drove safely, and even provided snacks and water throughout the day. We traveled in a clean, comfortable Mercedes van with temperature control, which made the long day much more enjoyable. Each stop had restrooms and we were given plenty of time to explore and actually enjoy the experience rather than feeling rushed. We stopped at Shannon Falls, the Sea to Sky Gondola, Whistler Village, and Porteau Cove Provincial Park. The Sea to Sky Gondola was definitely my favorite! There was a great combination of food, shopping, short hikes with incredible views, and a suspension bridge. Whistler Village was also fun to explore, especially if you enjoy shopping and restaurants. The only downside was the traffic on the drive back to Vancouver, but obviously that’s outside the tour company’s control and didn’t take away from the overall experience. A few tips: dress in layers, bring a water bottle, and wear comfortable walking shoes. Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a small backpack would also be good. You’ll definitely want to be prepared for changing temperatures and plenty of opportunities to walk around. Of note for parents: Someone in our group brought an infant, and as a parent myself, I felt it would be a pretty long day for a baby or young toddler. Personally, I’d recommend this excursion for children around 8 years old and up, especially if you want them to be able to fully enjoy the different stops. Overall, this was an epic day with incredible scenery and a great guide. If you want an easy way to see some of the beautiful natural areas between Vancouver and Whistler, I’d definitely recommend this excursion!

Great tour and great guide/driver

Informative and enjoyable tour

We had a great time on this tour; from seeing Shannon Falls, taking the Sea to Sky gondola to the top and then crossing the suspension bridge, and then exploring Whistler where we saw the Olympic rings. Our driver/guide, Andre, was awesome! He made the ride enjoyable with his trivia questions and fun facts.

Irene_E, Sep 2026

Great Experience!

Alex was a great Tour Guide. From the beginning, his welcoming attitude made us feel very comfortable. He was very informative. We learned a lot about the history of Vancouver that we didn't know. I t was a 6 1/2 hour tour, but truthfully, it did not feel that long as it was very well organized. I recommend this tour. Alex was exceptional.

Diane_F, Sep 2026

Beautiful City

This was a great way to get a taste of Victoria! The Gardens are spectacular. The Harbour area was a bit touristy but we were tourist! The buildings were beautiful. We thought it was well worth our time and money to visit this area from Vancouver. Our tour guide, Anthony, made the trip fun and enjoyable as he had a great sense of humor. He was also calm under pressure when our tour ran into a few hiccups not worth mentioning as it did not take away from the terrific day

NoelNessy_P, Sep 2026

A great day

We really enjoyed our trip to Grouse Mountain, particularly the raptor show. The Capilano Suspension Bridge is a little challenging but it is good to get to the other side. There are lots of stairs on the cliff walk but there are good handrails. Overall an enjoyable day and our driver, Bob, was excellent, he gave us lot of interesting information.

This was a wonderful tour...

This was a wonderful tour and a great way to see a lot without the hassle of trying to book all the transition yourself. The ferries and transfers were all included. The tickets to the gardens as well. Rene was our driver and guide. He was knowledgeable and helpful and had lots of jokes!! Thank you for a great day.

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

Laura_A, Sep 2026

Excellent experience, Jessica W is the best!

We did the Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola, Shannon Falls tour. The transfers were on time and everything was very well organized. We booked it through Viator, which is easy to use and to get information and directions from. We were lucky that our tour guide was Jessica W., who was exceptional. What we liked the most as foreigners and since English is not our native language, is that she speaks very clearly and without using complicated words or local phrases that few people understand. Her explanations and instructions were very clear and well executed. The information she shared about the destination and its history was very interesting, and the way she tells her stories feels very organic. We loved meeting her and she made our tour much more personal and entertaining.

Fantastic Vancouver City Sightseeing Experience

It was a great way to explore some of Vancouver’s most beautiful and iconic spots, and the entire experience was enjoyable from beginning to end. Our tour guide, Alex, was amazing! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour fun and engaging. His knowledge of the city and the information he shared along the way really added to the experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Vancouver. A fantastic experience!

Victoria and Butchart Gardens Day Trip from Vancouver

Ann_H, Jul 2026

It was a fabulous day...

It was a fabulous day experiencing the ferry ride, time in Victoria and at Butchart Gardens. Brent was an excellent tour guide and very thorough in giving us information and tips and tricks during our day together. Victoria was a larger area than I expected so I would have liked either more time there or actually just a tour on the bus throughout the city to get a good overview. Yes the day was long but worth it to experience the beauty of it all. Let me just say about both Victoria and Butchart Gardens that the flowers were gorgeous and there was just more beauty wherever you looked. We’ll be back again!
