“Great day trip - Our guide Shannon made it such a fun day trip for us. Driving through Stanley Park, stopping at Shannon Falls Park, having a ride on Sea to Sky Gondola, having lunch in Whistler and driving all the way back to Vancouver in one day would have been impossible on our own. Shannon made the whole trip so easy. She is very professional. We also would like to add she is a safe driver. Thank you, Shannon!!” - Reviewed at 2024-10-11
