Very well organised day trip. I felt we had enough time to experience each location (Whistler may require a separate holiday if you want to ski etc but there’s plenty to see and do in the time given). Our guide Jason was just great! He shared a lot of really useful and interesting information on Vancouver and the surrounding areas throughout the journey. He was also super helpful and easy to talk to. We were lucky to have him on our tour :)

it was a great tour ...from the pickup that was smooth to the beautiful ride along the bay and mountains. one thing that could be improved would be to have a little more time at the village. however overall it was a great tour
