Visited many sites along the way. Learned about optimum lighting and where the best photo view points were at each stop. Also learned about the local history and some photo tips that I can use in the future. Overall an excellent day.

This was a great trip! I had my own private tour which gave the flexibility to have nice conversations. The views were beyond phenomenal. Nafees is very knowledgeable and took me to the hidden gems that you don't get on a bigger tour. Definitely worth every penny!
As an advanced landscape photographer, my expectations for a day tour are usually quite specific, but Nafees surpassed them in every way. From the moment he picked me up at the Hyatt, his punctuality and professionalism were matched only by his incredible depth as a storyteller. Nafees isn’t just a guide; he’s a practicing nature photographer who understands light and composition. He curated a route that hit the 'must-sees' like Shannon Falls and Brandywine Falls, but the real highlight was the 'double whammy' of being taken to hidden, lesser-known vantage points that offered unique perspectives I never would have found alone. Whether we were discussing aviation, history, or technical photography tips, there was never a dull moment. He transformed a standard trip to Whistler and Squamish into an educational and highly productive photography expedition. If you want a smooth, professional, and deeply personable experience that respects the needs of a serious creative, Nafees is the person to call. I’m taking home images I’ll hold dear for a lifetime.
Must have experience, sights were amazing, photography tips were top tier and Nafees was an amazing guide. 10/10 highly recommend!
Nice experience to visit all attractions throughout the Sea to Sky Highway. The whole tour is smooth and the guide is especially professional. We feel comfortable in the whole journey. Thank you.
What a great busy day with Nafees, he collected us from our Hotel at 10am and dropped us off just after 7pm (Full day) Nafees was a good guide, he was always one step ahead of the crowds, getting the perfect view on every stop (Stunning visuals) The road to Whistler is a long windy road and certainly is busy, great that we kept stopping for sightseeing, late lunch in Whistler was a good break and then more views stopping on the way back. It was a small group tour which was good and Nafees a good guide, highly recommended if you do not want to drive and leave that to someone who knows the area well.
This is an incredible experience seeing majestic scenery with a wonderful guide who shared his vast knowledge, many diverse outdoor experiences and appreciation of the local area. Bravo!
Nash is as great as showed us novices with a camera some good tricks and how to get better shots. Photo tour from Vancouver to Whistler.
I loved this whole tour! Nafees was so nice and helpful and went out of his way to make sure we had a good time. Gave some good photography tips as well!
An incredible day with Nafees. He was so informative, patient and knowledgeable. It was a brilliant tour and I highly recommend.
