Can’t explain enough how content I’m with my trip. Our guide Jason was really nice friendly he made our trip more fun knowledgeable and he made sure to accommodate according to everyone’s wish which was the best part. Throughout our trip he would point out almost at every little details and give us brief and history. Also made sure we were oils stop at every viewing stop we found on our way to whistler. Overall the scenic journey and Jason’s fun personality made the trip very comfortable and enjoyable. Would really highly recommend taking this trip with Jason!

We had a glorious day weather wise. Our driver was extremely knowledgeable and talked about everything from history, environment, geology to local knowledge. We saw Shannon Falls, Whistler, as well as an extra stops to see eagles & otters & a toilet break. The only negative was the coach had seen better days, no wifi, chargers, and a little scruffy. However this said the drive was comfortable.

It was great! Alex was phenomenal! He was so knowledgeable and presented the information in an interesting manner. The weather was not the best; but with an outstanding guide and spectacular scenery all went well! He was so patient, even when some of his passengers were slightly late. He was capable of “monitoring and adjusting”!

Even with the rainy day, it was everything and more. The tour guide is very knowledgeable and you get enough time in each area. For the price this is very well worth it .

Great trip with amazing views. Our guide was really good and even took us to see bald eagles, very much appreciated!
