Traveler reviews
It was really nice...
It was really nice experience. Ken was really great as a tour guide. He explained everything perfectly and we really enjoyed it.
Good experience!
It was a wonderful day trip to Whistler with our guide, Ken. The drive was smooth and Ken even helped us with good recommendations for things to check out in the whistler village. Unfortunately, the peak to peak to Gondola was shut for maintenance. After our time in the Whistler village, Ken also covered two more additional viewpoints on our way back to help us take in as much of Whistler's scenic beauty as possible. I highly recommend this day tour!
Awesome Whistler tour!
Ken is an amazing guide.. He is very knowledgeable and very engaging.. Despite the gondola being under maintenance, he made the best of the time we had in Whistler. Highly recommended experience when in Vancouver if you have limited time.
Spectacular views
Shannon Falls is spectacular and Whistler is a cute village worth a visit. Be aware that the gondola is off at certain times of year (it was off when we visited, which our tour guide was unaware of in advance).
Z&J waterfall adventure
First, I would provide a little more information in the app to explain at the drop off. Nobody will be there. You just have to wait for the bus to show up. Once we got at the train station, our party and another party had no idea what to do. There’s no signs no people to greet us. Things happen and when possible if a tour guide is running late, they should inform everybody. Fortunately, we knew, but the other couple did not, and they were walking up and down the street trying to see if they were in the right place. I understand there’s different country and languages that may need accommodated but would recommend that the tour guide take control when he’s going back-and-forth between languages to allow him to finish his comments or information before allowing the one language to start interrupting him to do/during the other language speech. He should tell everybody to hold on until he completes both or multiple languages before the sightseers start interrupting. As for the overall tour. We were very excited and enjoyed each stop and adventure, regardless of the pouring down rain. The tour guide was very nice and knowledgeable and respected everyone. We definitely would recommend this experience with the minor suggestions being considered above. We do appreciate Jack and his professionalism, friendliness, knowledge and courtesy he showed everybody. Thank you for going above and beyond for those that were picked up at the train station.
