★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,640 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $173Our pick

Review of Vancouver’s Whistler, Sea to Sky Gondola, and Shannon Falls day trip, with practical advice on stops, value, timing, and what to expect.

“It was a great, informative day trip which incorporated a lot. Tour of the city while picking up travellers learning a lot about the city’s history. The gondola ride was great for someone who is scared of heights (nothing at all to be worried about). We did the adventure trail which is an easy walk with great views. A lovely visit to Whistler and a fun time at the Beacon Pub. A must visit! A great day trip. You return in the dark but so worth it to see the Christmas lights in Whistler.”

8.Whistler, Shannon Falls, Peak to Peak Gondola Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $95Best value

Review of Vancouver’s Whistler day tour with Shannon Falls, Sea to Sky Highway views, optional Peak to Peak Gondola, and practical booking tips.

“The reviews about asking for tips and reviews are true although I managed not to do those things. The views were nice and the guide gave explanations in both English and Mandarin. However, it was a bit difficult to understand the guide's English. You get a lot of free time in Whistler (which can be both a good and a bad thing) but next time I'd try to find a company that's not meant to be for Chinese people as it's hard to understand English and half the time the guide "wastes" time repeating same things. I am glad the tour was quite cheap.”

“We had a wonderful day on the Sea to Sky trip. Marcos, our guide was very informative and personable. He really made the trip sing! Our favorite parts were Shannon Falls and hiking around the top of the gondola. Whistler was a huge ski town in summer weather. Nice to stroll but we found the lack of information about shops and restaurants frustrating.”
