Sky Five! - It was a nice experience with nature! The view of Howe Sound is just breathtaking! We were very lucky it was sunny when we visited. Derek, our tour guide, was very informative and very helpful. I appreciated how he gave recommendation on what trail best to take, and what good restaurants to try during the tour. He capped of the tour by taking us to the river and had our pictures taken! Definitely would recommend this tour! It was a nice experience in Vancouver.

Great way to spend a day - The sea to sky gondola was amazing although it was very cloudy so we didn’t have very good views. We had plenty of time at Whistler village to walk around and have lunch. The falls were beautiful.

Awesome sceneries! - The Sea to the Sky Gondola is nice experience. The view going up is amazing! The scenic highway is also awesome. I wish we have more time there. Whistler is nice community to explore. Other than the village, it's more enjoyable if there's an activity associated with the place. Nonetheless, the time alloted allowed us to eat comfortably and do some shopping. The stop overs to the river and the snow capped mountain is also appreciated and enjoyed, Over-all, the trip is recommended and the tour will not be the same without our reliable guide, Dereck and driver.

Totally recommended! - I've lived in Vancouver for almost two years and recently went on this tour. It made me love the city and learn so much about it. Jason was my guide, and he was PHENOMENAL! So funny and knowledgeable and made sure everyone was comfortable the whole trip. He has a great playlist of feel-good music, too. It was my birthday, and everyone sang Happy Birthday to me. It was so much fun, and I got some lovely pics!

Fog killed our view! - The tour itself was good but the weather was so bad this day that from the top of the mountain it was so foggy we did not see anything! Just fog. No view. Nothing!

Very informative and beautiful views. - Thank you for the lovely tour and information about the area and the safe bus trip. Being a past local, I had to come in as an international visitor to take time to be the first time visit to see Squamish and Whistler. It was a full day. Thanks again.

Well-Organized Tour and Beautiful Sights - My husband, our friends, and I all enjoyed this well-organized tour. After getting off to a bit of a rocky start (we were one of the first to be picked up by the bus, and it was at least 45 minutes until we left Vancouver), we were quickly entranced by the views of the sound. Derek was an excellent tour guide, and Charlie was a superb and cheery driver. Stops were seamless, from the ticketing to the pickup. Any delays were caused by other passengers who returned late. Although clouds prevented us from getting great views on the Sea to Sky Gondola trip, we nonetheless enjoyed ourselves. We had sufficient time to take a few brisk walks through the forest and across the suspension bridge. Whistler Village was also interesting, particularly because a farmer's market was open when we visited. We had a quick stop along the way to visit Shannon Falls to view some sweeping vistas. The falls were a worthy stop, as well. The only drawback was the quality of the bus. The washroom was nonfunctioning, and we had a drip over our seat that continuously hit us and the woman in front of us. We had to use a towel to sop it up occasionally, which distracted from the tour. Three cheers for the guide and driver, though. Glad we went!
