Extremely informative and very memorable - As we were driving Ryan mentioned we may only may see a bear then my wife saw a Bear as we were driving into where the luge is. Ryan was very knowlageable regarding the areas we visited along with promoting local business.

Must do Tour when in Whistler - Fantastic overview of Whistler and surrounding area. A great combination of FYI spots to visit and taking a longer time at beautiful and historic spots that are a little longer to get to just on the outskirts of the village. Loved hearing about the history of Whistler. Ryan, our guide, was best in class. He was so knowledgeable, engaging, down to earth and provided the setting for a great 3 hour tour. He provides a helpful checklist of things to do, restaurants and activities at the end of the tour. This is not to be missed and do it early in your Whistler visit. It will help you plan the rest of your stay.

Wonderful insight to Whistler - I highly recommend Ryan with Whistler Valley Tours. I have visited Whistler in the past and had no idea there were so many diverse sites. We enjoyed hearing the history of the development of the resort as we visited the different parts of the area. The scenery was spectacular and Ryan provided so many suggestions for activities we could participate in as well as wonderful restaurant recommendations. I highly recommend his tour to anyone visiting Whistler.
