A perfect day with a great guide! - I had a great day, perfectly organized from start to finish.
Many thanks to Rebecca, our guide, who was simply great: caring, caring, and always smiling. She shared with us many interesting anecdotes and information throughout the day.
I also enjoyed being able to take my time during the various visits, without stress or rush.
An experience at the top that I recommend without hesitation!

Sea to Sky tour to Whistler - The tour of Whistler was such a wonderful highlight of my trip to BC. Our tour guide, Bernie Glemas, truly made the day special and filled with fun. He shared so much interesting information about the places we visited. Bernie was very knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. He even spoke Spanish to the South American tourists, which made them feel comfortable and welcomed. His sense of humour was absolutely hilarious. Plus, he gave great recommendations for places to eat in Whistler—the taco restaurant was fantastic! By the end of the day, our whole group, even though we were strangers at first, had become friends.

A great day trip from Vancouver with an awesome guide Rebecca. - Epic trip from Vancouver! This tour was the perfect way to experience the sea to sky highway and its highlights - the gondola and the falls and finally Whistler. Our guide Rebecca was absolutely stellar, she was super flexible and accomodating, helping to make every single persons day run smoothly and enjoyably. She took the time to learn everyone’s names, chat with everyone and had great banter and information. Highly recommend Rebecca as a guide - she brings and fun and facts!

Waltzing through Whistler - It was really fun experience. It was full of adventure and beauty. I was able to go on trails and get an experience of the wilderness. Along with that I was able to experience the city itself. My heart was filled with joy at the end of my tour. My special thanks to our guide Bernie. He was very considerate and kept the conversation going in the bus with his great sense of humour. And all the fellow travellers made for a lovely company. It was surely an experience I will always remember.

Great - We really enjoyed this trip from Vancouver. It is an excellent way to get out the city without a car. Didn’t think much to the waterfall but we enjoyed the gondola and time in whistler. Rebecca our guide was excellent.

Sea to sky gondola and Whistler - We had a great tour! Our guide, Rebecca, was super friendly/ helpful and gave great recommendations. Despite the smog from wildfire hindering the sea to sky view, we had a wonderful time.

A great small group trip to Whistler. - Rebecca our guide was very relaxed & professional, ensuring everyone enjoyed the day.
Although the smoke haze from the fires didn't allow for optimal viewing of the Howe Sound, the trip to Whistler was great. Rebecca provided interesting & detailed information along the way. The vehicle was very comfortable with large windows. Being only a small group it made the trip so much more personable. I would definitely travel with Discover Canada Tours again.

Long drive, but beautiful scenery - We enjoyed this long day traveling to Whistler, with stops at the gondola and Shannon Falls. Check-in was easy with a representative waiting right at the pickup point. The bus was comfortable and the driver/guide gave interesting facts about Vancouver and this part of BC. We didn’t realize that the long stops were intended to give passengers time to take a hike at each one. For us, less time would have been preferable, especially in Whistler. But the scenery along the way was wonderful.

Amazing sights, good pace - I don't give 5 stars because the Big Bus tours lady in charge of email response gave us a very bad start. She said it was mandatory to be at the pickup point at 7:50 am prior to departure to meet the person in charge of the tour. We were at Canada Place's open plaza from 7:50 through 8:45, enduring the cold wind, at 6°C and cloudy sky, and no one showed up until 8:40 . We just have had our morning shower and we were freezing the whole time out there. I ended up with a sore throat and the flu (still are). I hope they are more considerate next time because I even called at 8:15 and the woman who answered the phone asked us to remain there until someone showed up. It was a torture. The only thing good to write about, beside the obvious beauty of the places we visited is the great attitude of our tour guide and driver Leslie. He changed the mood a little (but the health damage was done). He was very kind to everyone and shared many interesting details about every spot we visited.
