Deepens your knowledge and appreciation for Whistler well beyond the frequented paths. - An excellent overview of Whistler that expanded our appreciation of the area, and ways to enjoy it. It included Whistler's founding and history; the innovative way they make it livable for staff; hidden gems that locals frequent; and most fascinating--the Whistler Sliding Center--where we later watched a luge competition.
Ryan was informative, engaging, and conducted the tour at the perfect pace. Highly recommend.

Great tour of Whistler - My family did a private tour with Ryan and it was one of the best parts of our trip. We were able to see places that we wouldn't have seen on our own. Ryan was knowledgeable and friendly. He also gave us recommendations of restaurants and activities in the area. This tour should be on your must do list.
