Great tour. Sit on the right side of bus both ways. You will see everything. In Whistler go on the gondola first. Eat after. Go to Araxi for happy hour starts at 2:30. Great prices. Most other restaurants are rip offs and same food. The whole tour is wonderful with great narration.
It’s a great tour. I would recommend for driver to explain to passengers: When u arrive in Whistler. Don’t waste time in the village eating lunch. Do “peak to peak” gondola ride. But it will take over two hours. But it is by far the best experience on this tour. Lunch and drinks available at the summit . I wish our driver explained it better. Most of passengers on our bus didn’t get to do it, as they run out of time, not knowing that lunch is available at the top.
Thank you for your feedback and recommendation! We're glad you enjoyed the tour. Since the Peak to Peak Gondola is an optional activity and not included in the tour, many guests choose to spend their free time exploring Whistler Village instead. We appreciate your suggestion and will keep it in mind as we continue to improve the information we share with guests.
Weather can be unpredictable so pack accordingly. Great way to see the area of Vancouver, Squamish, and Whistler. Knowledgeable guide.

Viator must provide more information before the date, so they will prepare for Whistler, because there is so much to view. Otherwise it was a very nice tour.

My family and I enjoyed the beautiful sceneries on our way to whister . Weather was a little cloudy , and it was raining on and off. The only thing was that we had a little over Three hours stop at the whister village, which for us was a little too long. 2 hours is plenty, since it's a very small village.
