A fun filled day

It was a long day but it was a lot of fun. The Sea to Sky Gondola was great. Whistler was interesting . We walked to the Cultural Center which was a nice museum. Shannon Falls was beautiful. Driver Ed gave a great commentary. Highly recommend this excursion

Beautiful day on Whistler

This was a beautiful trip up to Whistler. Our first stop was the Sea to Sky gondola, which was a very cool experience. The views were magnificent, and the nature up there was beautiful. Our time in Whistler was fantastic…such cute shops and great restaurants. As I was reading Yelp reviews of restaurants up there, many people were remarking on the prices. Whistler is a resort town…if you are not ready to pay “resort town prices”, don’t go. Our final stop was Shannon Falls, which was really magnificent. Andy was a great guide, even though he repeated himself quite a lot (and I don’t mean about logistics, because repeating those is necessary). It was a great day, and I would definitely recommend this tour.

Whistler and Shannon Falls experience.

Interesting info all the way to Whistler. A very bustling town even in the off ski season. Shannon Falls was also very majestic.
