Glad we tried this tour. The price was very reasonable for what was included. Enjoyed our ride on the gondola and the Shannon Falls were stunning. Definitely worth the price of admission.
My family and I really enjoyed this tour at the Shannon Falls and the Sea to Sky Gondola. I don’t think we’d ever really go here if not for this tour. Booked it when I saw it because we also thought the price was very reasonable. You should really try it.
We had a fantastic day on the Whistler and Sea to Sky Gondola tour. Everything was well organized, the drive was comfortable, and there were some amazing views along the way. The Sea to Sky Gondola was definitely one of the highlights. A great choice if you're visiting Vancouver and want see Whistler.
This was such a great way to see Whistler and the Sea to Sky Gondola in one day. The scenery along the drive was beautiful, and the gondola views were incredible. We had plenty of time to explore Whistler Village before heading back to Vancouver.
It was a very personalized tour to see the highlights outside the city of Vancouver. We rode a gondola to an incredible view of the mountains and water below, stopped at Whistler with several hours to explore on our own, many sight seeing opportunities along the way there and back including Shannon Falls. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared so many stories about the history and area. He also gave us plenty of time to explore on our own.
It was a great trip, and we really enjoyed the experience, especially the Sea to Sky Gondola and the Suspension Bridge. Whistler Village doesn't have a lot to do unless you're interested in shopping, but it's still a nice place to visit. Shannon Falls offered a beautiful view and was definitely worth the stop. Our tour guide, Jay, was excellent. He was knowledgeable about history of Vancouver, shared a lot of interesting information throughout the tour, and had a great sense of humor. He made the trip enjoyable and engaging from start to finish. I would definitely recommend this tour.
A long day, but well worth it. Plenty of time to explore. The driver/guide was very experienced and knowledgeable.
The night before tried to work out which of the 2 places I would go to for getting picked up and couldn't for the live of me find where and how to access the address provided for the "formal meeting point " at 909 W Cordova Street( no number or business name on the building ) Decided to wait at the Century Plaza Hotel option . Didn't recognise the bus as no name on the side of the bus saying who it was . However once on the bus it was brilliant . Mark was very personable , knowledgeable about the areas and their history and a good driver. The bus was very comfortable. The scenery was exquisitely beautiful and the weather was on our side - sun shine for half the day , no rain ,a slight breeze. There was an Art Festival at Lost Lake which added another dimension. A wonderful day. ,
We only had 3 people on this trip so an SUV was used. Mark, our driver knew how to avoid the "bus tour crowds" at all the venues he took us to. Very knowledgeable about the area. Would definitely recommend!
Dear Valued Guest, Thank you for your kind feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed your private tour with Mark and appreciated his knowledge of the area.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again in the future. Warm Regards, The Trolley Team
The bus ride, was great. The visit to Shannon Falls gave us wonderful photo ops, as did the sea to sky gondola ride. Really appreciated the time in Whistler, where we enjoyed a nice meal and got in a bit of shopping. Andre our driver/guide was very amusing and informative throughout the trip. We were very pleased with the extent of the itinerary and quality of service.
