Great overview tour of Whistler and surrounds - Ryan's tour was so interesting, with information about so many things to do in Whistler as a tourist and he also gave us local information about what it's like working and living in Whistler. We spent time at the Bobsleigh track (Whistler Sliding Centre) which hosted the 2010 Olympics and is used today by numerous events and competitions. Function Junction was a lovely local area where we had time to try out some beers and buy some cakes! I particularly loved the stops at the lakes - Alta Lake was fantastic! Thank you Ryan!

Whistler Must with Ryan - The Whistler Sightseeing Tour was fantastic! Our guide, Ryan, was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful throughout the tour. Ryan provided a great mix of local hidden gems and must-see tourist sites. We learned so much about Whistler's history from Ryan's informative commentary, and he even offered us helpful recommendations for the rest of our trip. The tour was well worth the money, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Whistler!

Sight seeing Tour of Whistler A MUST!!! - One of the best things to do in Whistler. We probably saw more than the average Canadian. Ryan is great. He gave a history lesson and gave us time on each stop to appreciate the area. We got to see a brown bear and her 3 pups. Would recommend this one if you are going to Whistler.

Great way to see Whistler - With only a day with our children the half day tour was ideal to see Whistler and surrounds. The tour was a small group and our guide, Ryan was fantastic. He had a summary brochure for all the passengers and highlighted specific things we where interested in with 3-4 options for dining, sightseeing and activities. Very well done Ryan. Would highly recommend this tour in Whistler

Great local tour - Ryan was a very good and informative and fun guide. We took the pre booked tour within an hour of arriving into Whistler. This gave us a great insight to what was on offer not only in the the centre but in the surrounding area. We really loved seeing where some of the Olympics took place too. We had some queries over car parking ( nothing to do with the tour ) and Ryan made a phone call for us and helped us get the information we needed, which we was really grateful for Would definitely recommend taking this tour

Don't miss this spectacular Gem of the Rockies. Book Whistler Valley tours & Charters. - It's refreshing to meet someone who is truly invested in the area they live in and represent on a daily basis. 15 year resident Ryan, has the back story on Whistler, the people, the history and the vision that has made Whistler today. From the world class ski runs, the world's fastest bobsled track and the valley, to the restaurants, breweries and bakeries. To stand 100 meters away from a black bear feeding on dandelions was amazing. Thank you for the experience Whistler Valley Tours & Charters...top tour.

Comfortable and short - The tour was very informative and comfortable. We felt like the lake stops should have been longer and less time should’ve been spent at the sliding center.
