Whistler and Sea to Sky Gondola, a Fire and Ice Discovery Tour

Garry_R, May 2026

Whistler and Sea to Sky Gondola, a Fire and Ice Discovery.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable day with our driver Sukhan and tour guide Annika who was very informative and helpful. We visited the Sea to Sky Gondola and Annika showed us a short walk that we could take to see the beautiful views. We then went to Whistler where Annika took us to the Olympic Rings and allowed us to have our photo taken with the Olympic Torch. We had enough time to explore and enjoy a leisurely lunch. On our way back to Vancouver we had a stop at Shannon Falls where we had time to take photos.

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Capilano Suspension Bridge & Vancouver Lookout

Joanna_H, May 2026

Great trip with an entertaining guide

We really enjoyed this trip however this trip is for someone who has little time in Vancouver and wants to explore it quickly. We booked it even though we already spent a few days in Vancouver so we saw most of the locations. However we still really enjoyed it thanks to Jordan, our guide. He was very friendly and attentive and engaging. His stories about Vancouver were interesting and relevant. He has such a charisma. Jordan made it the trip very entertaining. The highlight of the trip for us was obviously the Capilano bridge. We had just an over an hour there but this was not enough to explore everything. Another 20-30 would be nice. After Capilano bridge Jordan took us to the Sisters - a viewpoint to see a twin mountain. And he as always told us the story about the Sisters and the mountain.

A very enjoyable day out

A really enjoyable day despite the awful weather. The scenery along the way was absolutely gorgeous. Whistler was really easy to explore. We really enjoyed the walk to Lost Lake and others in our group spotted a black bear on the way. Our tour guide, Jason, was entertaining and gave us lots of information along the way.

Melissa_J, May 2026

Truly memorable day in Victoria and Butchart Gardens!

Phenomenal day trip to Victoria and Butchart Gardens! Truly luxury coach, scenic ferry ride through the Gulf Islands (best seats and views at the top left front level of the ferry!). Wonderful walking tour of the charming Victoria historic area and Chinatown, stopping for lunch and shopping. Then to the magnificent Butchart Gardens - so spectacular, not to be missed. Loved every minute of this long but wonderful day. Thanks to our excellent tour leader, Joe!

Navid was an amazing guide.

Navid was an amazing tour guide today. He showed me all over Vancouver. I was able to see and do so much in those few hours that I could have never done on my own, even with hours of planning. He communicated with me as soon as I got my luggage and was picking me up in a matter of minutes. By the way, it was raining for the first couple hours of our tour, but this did not stop him ensuring I got to see everything on our itinerary.

Trip to Butchart Gardens and Victoria

Ryan our driver Tour guide was very knowledgeable and a great organiser. He went above and beyond his role. The Ferry over was good and well organised the ferry back was somewhat disorganised with embarking and disembarking not sure why the ferry staff might have been overwhelmed with amount vehicles on trip

Victoria and Butchart Gardens Day Trip from Vancouver

Meredith_A, May 2026

Day trip to Victoria

It's a full day We got picked up at 8:30 in the morning and didn't get dropped off until 10 PM. There is quite a bit of drive time in the coach, however the coach is very comfortable. The ferry there and back is a total of three hours of travel time as well. The ferry was very comfortable and no motion sickness. Victoria is a cute city and very walkable. Bitchart gardens is absolutely amazing. The pictures you see just don't do it justice in real life. It had great walking paths and was very easy to get around. our driver Zac was very nice. Explained things well and kept everybody informed.

Vancouver City Sightseeing Tour: Granville Island & Stanley Park

Chris_B, May 2026

Great Tour of Vancouver

A great way to get a idea about the wonderful city of Vancouver and to see the sights. The pickup was really efficient and our guide Sarah was absolutely brilliant. Highlights of the tour were Stanley Park and Granville Island, although the rest of the tour was really interesting.

Whistler tour from Vancouver + Sea to Sky Gondola + Shannon Falls

Annette_M, Oct 2025

A great day out

For me, visiting Whistler after Shannon Falls and sea to sky gondola was the right order. It was why I booked this tour rather than another which did the Whistler visit first. Visited in October - post summer season and pre skiing season. Peak to peak gondola etc were closed as the resort is preparing for winter season. We walked to the lost lake and had dinner, which filled the 4 hours nicely. Would have loved to have experienced the other activities though.

Butchart Gardens and Victoria Sightseeing Tour from Vancouver

Joseph_G, Sep 2025

As a tourist visiting...

As a tourist visiting Vancouver, I wouldn't know any other way to see Victoria and see The Butchart Gardens other than taking a tour. However, I don't think I would recommend it. It would be better to spend a couple of days in Victoria to enjoy it's charm. If you only have the day from Vancouver, than this might be the only option. The sights in Victoria, the walking tour, and the Gardens were very nice, but as I mentioned there is too much driving and wait time. We left Vancouver at 8am and got to the ferry pier by 8:50, but we were scheduled on the 10am ferry so we killed an hour at the ferry terminal. On the way back, in Victoria, we arrived at the ferry terminal before 6pm, but had to wait for the 7pm ferry. When you add up the travel and wait time, you wind up with 7+ hours of wait, ferry, and drive time, about an hour+ of driving around Victoria, and a few hours to walk Victoria and see the gardens. It was an exhausting day and I wouldn't do it again, but not because of the tour or the guide, but because now that I know, I would spend a couple of days in Victoria instead of the tour.
