5.00It was a wonderful day trip to Whistler with our guide, Ken. The drive was smooth and Ken even helped us with good recommendations for things to check out in the whistler village. Unfortunately, the peak to peak to Gondola was shut for maintenance. After our time in the Whistler village, Ken also covered two more additional viewpoints on our way back to help us take in as much of Whistler's scenic beauty as possible. I highly recommend this day tour!
Awesome Whistler tour!

5.00Ken is an amazing guide.. He is very knowledgeable and very engaging.. Despite the gondola being under maintenance, he made the best of the time we had in Whistler. Highly recommended experience when in Vancouver if you have limited time.
Spectacular views

4.00Shannon Falls is spectacular and Whistler is a cute village worth a visit. Be aware that the gondola is off at certain times of year (it was off when we visited, which our tour guide was unaware of in advance).

5.00First, I would provide a little more information in the app to explain at the drop off. Nobody will be there. You just have to wait for the bus to show up. Once we got at the train station, our party and another party had no idea what to do. There’s no signs no people to greet us. Things happen and when possible if a tour guide is running late, they should inform everybody. Fortunately, we knew, but the other couple did not, and they were walking up and down the street trying to see if they were in the right place. I understand there’s different country and languages that may need accommodated but would recommend that the tour guide take control when he’s going back-and-forth between languages to allow him to finish his comments or information before allowing the one language to start interrupting him to do/during the other language speech. He should tell everybody to hold on until he completes both or multiple languages before the sightseers start interrupting. As for the overall tour. We were very excited and enjoyed each stop and adventure, regardless of the pouring down rain. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable and respected everyone. We definitely would recommend this experience with the minor suggestions being considered above. We do appreciate Jack and his professionalism, friendliness, knowledge and courtesy he showed everybody. Thank you for going above and beyond for those that were picked up at the train station.
Great way to explore near Vancouver!

5.00Great day out of Vancouver to see some sights! Shannon Falls is breathtaking and Whistler was way better than expected considering it’s not Winter. Henry was a fabulous tour guide too!
Value for money and comfortable

4.00I did this trip with Kim in April 2025 - the best thing I liked was that we covered a lot of ground in very little time. The landscapes were nothing short of stunning - and I had sufficient free time to do whatever I wanted to do. It did seem like the tour was geared towards a lot of Chinese participants, but I didn't have any problem communicating with the guide and driver. Being probably the only English speaking participant, I got personal attention for everything, and I got the information I needed. Even though the name suggests that there was a Sea to Sky - note that this is the Sea to Sky highway and not Sea to Sky Gondola. I personally thoroughly enjoyed the Peak to Peak Gondola. I originally took the option without Peak to Peak Gondola in this tour, and later I just purchased the tickets on my own at the Whistler Visitor Center, and honestly doing the Gondola was one of the best things I did on the trip. I really had so much fun. I did get a drink in the middle of the Peaks. I also explored the Audain Art Museum in the free time I had. The only weird part was that the tip is not included in this tour - it is usually not included in a lot of tours anyway, but I found it amusing that it was a predetermined amount and everyone paid for it - wasn't really an option.
Says 8 to 10 hours, but...

1.00Says 8 to 10 hours, but they picked up at 7:30 am, had unscheduled stops, took 5 hours to get us to Whistler from Richmond, and did not drop us back off until 7:30 pm. A full 12 hour day, with hours sitting on a bus, and stopping at a grocery store and a pier. Also switched busses in a very untimely manner due to warranty issues???. Pressured to do a good online review. Draining day with evening plans ruined.

5.00It was amazing. Zach did a fantastic job giving us history of the area and was extremely accommodating. He went above and beyond. One of the most beautiful places I’ve been.

5.00We stumbled across Shannon Falls on our way from Vancouver Island to Whistler along the mind blowing Sea to Sky Highway and called in for a break. WOW. Walked from the falls through some lovely woods heading for the Gondola. Managed to get a ticket at the office and so glad we did. The views from the top are astonishing and the restaurant/cafe/bar was a lovely surprise. We sat there for ages just taking it all in. There are lovely walking trails through the woods. We were blessed with sunny weather and we spent several hours there as it was just so beautiful.
