Exceptional tour highly recommend! - Exceptional tour by Shiloh! We made so many family memories stopping off at so many locations and learning so many interesting facts about the history of British Columbia! For instance we learned about the founding of the capital of BC, the purpose of Britannia Mine, the mythology of Black Tusk Mountain and the Twin Sisters mountains (the Twin Sisters were renamed Lion Mountains by the British). We stopped off at Shannon Falls, Alexandra Falls, Brandywine Falls, Porteau Cove, Howe Sound Beach, the charming village of Whistler and the Sea to Sky Gondola at Squamish mountain. We took awesome pictures by the Olympic rings in Whistler and the top of Squamish mountain. Awesome tour highly recommend!

Great day, but plan on a long one. - We had a great time on our Sea to Sky and Whistler tour. Bus pick up at Canada Place was right on time, and our driver/guide Bernie was great! He was informative but didn’t monopolize the bus PA the entire time. He was easy to talk with, happy to answer questions. He gave great tips for walking around all venues, and was attentive to the passengers that needed a little extra hand getting around. Be ready to walk about 4-5 miles, spread out over the whole day. Personally for us, the time spent at each stop was just right. It was a long day, 11 hours start to finish, so if you are not up for that, maybe not the tour for you. But we are moderately fit 50 something’s and had a great day.

Very good despite the weather - Would have given five stars but the weather was dreadful. We were the only two on the tour so we had our guide to ourselves and Ian was extremely good. He was knowledgeable and helpful and rearranged the intinerary ensure we had the best experience possible regarding the best of the weather in each area and even took us to see a couple of waterfalls which were not on our itinerary. A very enjoyable day despite the weather.
