I did this tour myself last year. This time my sister went alone and felt so comfortable with the group and guide. Must do the lift in Whistler. Saw bobsledding. Guide Jennifer said to look for the Beckhams who were skiing there. Also, Very informative and many stops along the way. Highly recommend than other tours for the vehicle, stops, and personal friendly guide.

My husband and I splurged and took the luxury cruise to Victoria and we were treated like royalty! The service, food and drinks were amazing. We spent a fun 6 hours in Victoria on our own and then flew back to Vancouver in a sea plane. I thought I would be scared, but the flight was really cool and the landing was like we landed on a marshmallow. I would highly recommend this company.

Took the tour in April 2019. The guide was very helpful and the hotel pickup and drop off was good. Shannon Falls was a worthwhile stop. Whistler was interesting and busy but we did not go on the gondola ride at extra cost. It is true that a Greyhound bus trip directly to Whistler is cheaper but you won't stop at the other places. We had a meal at a crowded restaurant full of skiers and socialites with a line out the front door. The native museum in Whistler was informative. However, I thought the bus tour cost for two was a little on the high side especially after a $20 tip. Nevertheless, it was a worthwhile break from downtown Vancouver.

I completed the AST-1 at Elfin Lakes this weekend and it was an awesome experience! Our guide Cloe was fun and knowledgeable, and did a great job engaging and educating the group. Would highly recommend this course and I’ll be signing up for another MSAA weekend in the future. Thanks!
