Unforgettable Day Trip – Kim is an Exceptional Guide!

If you are on the fence about booking this trip, do it! From start to finish, this tour was smoothly organized, action-packed, and visually stunning. A huge shoutout to our guide, Kim! Kim truly made the day special. Knowledgeable, welcoming, and endlessly enthusiastic, Kim kept everyone entertained along the drive with fascinating history, local insights, and great commentary about British Columbia. Kim also made sure everyone stayed safe, comfortable, and strictly on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. Highlights of the tour: Sea to Sky Highway: The drive along Howe Sound is breathtaking. Kim pointed out key landmarks and local spots along the way that I would have completely missed on own. Shannon Falls: A quick and refreshing stop. The short walking trail leads right up to the roaring falls—fantastic photo opportunity! Sea to Sky Gondola: Up at the top, the 360-degree mountain and views were unbelievable. Crossing the suspension bridge and catching the alpine air was a major trip highlight. Whistler Village: Having generous free time to explore Whistler at our own pace was ideal. I grabbed a great bite to eat, strolled through the charming pedestrian village, and took in the mountain vistas. Everything was seamless—from the easy pickup to the comfortable ride back. Kim went above and beyond to make sure every passenger had a memorable experience. 10/10 would recommend this excursion to anyone visiting the area!

A wonderful full day tour

A wonderful full day tour. The drive along Highway 99 was full of great scenery. The Shannon Falls were spectacular, the ride on the Sea to Sky Gondola amazing, overlooking the beautiful Howe Sound. The time spent at the very pretty Whistler Village was great. Our tour guide Kim was very knowledgeable, helpful and good fun. Overall a very special day and we'll organised.

Amazing tour with Liam!

Liam our guide is a super star! Highly recommend this trip to anyone who really wants to see these beautiful lakes. It’s the only true way to be able yo do it. But Liam, was outstanding. I’ve taken many Viator tours around the works, with many great guides, but this young man took such good care of us, was extremely knowledgeable about the area, made sure we stayed hydrated but constantly offering us water, and to top it off, he jumped in the extremely cold lake for us at the end of the tour. It was a trip we will never forget!!! Thank you Viator and We miss you Liam!!!

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout

Bernard_D, Sep 2026

Capilano suspension Bridge is a MUST DO Tour.

1- Check and confirm actual pick up time, not start of tour time 10am. We were picked up before 9am. 2-Be prepared for lots of steps and have sea legs on the suspension bridge, amazing structure. 3- another half an hour would have been perfect for us. 4- Absolutely value for money on this tour. 5- Shaun was an excellent tour guide, really great guy. Thank you ....

Butchart Gardens and Victoria Sightseeing Tour from Vancouver

Bonnie_F, Sep 2026

Great tour

I think it was definitely worth it. All the logistics taken care of: getting you to Vancouver Island, seeing and spending time in Victoria, and Butchart Gardens and then back to Vancouver. It was a pretty long day with lots of driving. We were able to relax and enjoy the scenery instead of trying to pay attention to the driving, stressing on ferry details if we tried to do it on our own. The tour guide/driver, Bernie, was great pointing out sites and facts.

Richard_G, Aug 2026

Great adventure, poor description of transportation

Booking through Viator is only buying the admission tickets. When you book you have to pick one of 3 pickup locations, so we thought the transport was though Viator. After waiting around for almost half an hour, we. Spoke to the Concierge, we were told that transportation is not included and you need to take the free shuttle. That was never pointed out in the description of the tour. Other than that, the park itself was absolutely amazing, breathtaking, and gorgeous. Soooo glad we went on this trip!!!!!

Excellent Tour Company

Butchart Gardens is lovely and Victoria is a very pretty and clean city. Andrea is a very informative tour guide. West Coast Travel was the tour company. Kudos to them. I inadvertently left my wallet on the bus, and they called me the next morning and delivered it to me at my hotel.

Fantastic tour and guide!

We had one day before cruising to see Vancouver. Bobby was a fantastic guide. We saw all of the top sites, and a few extra ones on the way. The tour was informative and fun. We did not feel rushed and still felt we got to see a lot. We loved that it was a smaller crowd. Highly recommend this tour and Bobby!

Victoria and Butchart Gardens 1-Day In-Depth Tour from Vancouver

Ichrak_M, Aug 2026

Very nice experience

This was a lovely excursion, especially for the journey itself. The ferry crossing was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see orcas and quite a bit of wildlife along the way, which made the experience really special. Joe Young was truly excellent and added so much value to the day. He shared an incredible amount of knowledge about Vancouver, Vancouver Island, and Victoria, from the history and local culture to the natural environment. His explanations made the journey much more interesting and enjoyable. The short visit to Victoria was also pleasant and gave us a nice opportunity to explore the city a little. As for Butchart Gardens, they were beautiful, but honestly, we have seen gardens that were much more impressive elsewhere. So I would not recommend choosing this excursion solely for the gardens. However, if you want to discover a little of Vancouver Island, visit Victoria, enjoy the ferry crossing, and hopefully spot some wildlife, then I would definitely recommend it. Overall, we really enjoyed the experience, particularly thanks to the beautiful crossing and our fantastic guide.

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Granville Island & Stanley Park

Mary_B, Aug 2026

Worthwhile tour

Our driver/guide, Tim, was very accommodating, helpful, and personable. He was very enjoyable as he guided and explained things throughout the tour. We were delayed somewhat because of street closures/traffic because of a 5k run being held that day, but our time was extended, and we were able to see/visit all the areas that had been promised.
