There were so many breathtaking scenic stops from start to finish, great for taking pictures. This is another experience that would be good for all ages. Charles, our driver, had a great sense of humor that kept us laughing for the entire day, while also providing the history of each stop.

Our guide Charles was very accommodating, pleasant and knowledgeable about the area. He picked us up at the cruise terminal and dropped us off at the airport at the tour’s end. It was a pleasure to have him lead the tour. The country outside of Vancouver city leading to Whistler is beautiful and worth seeing. Bring rain gear as it rains most days. The finer restaurants aren’t open for lunch, but there are other choices, mainly sandwiches and salads.
Thank you Charles again for this lovely tour. We did this 2 yrs ago and requested Charles again with our family. Charles is very knowledgeable and had us laughing. All stops were beautifil and made it relaxing and not rushed We even saw a proposal happening. Thank you Josette
Amazing views. Great restaurants. Variety of shopping venues.
We could not have had a better driver and guide than Charles. His knowledge and expertise in all things Vancouver and Whistler was fantastic.
Charles was an excellent guide - thoroughly enjoyed the experience
This is one of the best tours we have ever taken!!! Do not hesitate to book this AMAZING Day Trip. The views are SPECTACULAR!! Whistler Village is MAGICAL!! Charles, our Tour Guide, was one of the nicest persons we have met. He is not only so very professional and courteous; but, just an all around good person!
Charles did a great job as tour guide. He had a great personality and dropped us off at the airport in time for our flight. The only negative was the pick up. It was unclear where the pick up was (on the street, not in the parking garage).
What a wonderful day! Charles was extremely Personable , delightful and knowledgeable. he made sure we had a great experience ! highly recommend !
Great sites along the way our guide Charles was very good above average and very accommodating a definite plus
Charles is amazing! What a knowledgeable and safe tour guide he is. Charles made sure we knew everything about what we experienced on our day trip to Whistler, Shannon Falls, Horseshoe Bay etc. Thank you, Charles for making the time we spent with you so very memorable. We could not recommend booking with Charles more highly.
We booked this tour to reduce the amount of time we had to sit in the airport before our red eyes. Every minute of this tour was worth it and then some. Charles was our guide. He picked us up outside the cruise terminal. Loaded our luggage into the van and took us through Vancouver giving information and History. We then made our way on the sea to sky highway. Stopping in horseshoe bay at a delicious coffee shop, Goldie’s, for coffee, excellent donuts and bathroom/rest. From there we stopped at Shannon falls. Charles walked with us up the trail and took the group photo for us. Our next stop was Whistler. What a neat resort area. Overall great day, great sights, safe driver and at the end Charles dropped us at the airport.
Charles was exceptional- excellent driver, fascinating conversation, he seems to know everyone along the way- the Mayor or King Charles!! We had such fun with him. The company was excellent with all of my questions, our change in tour date, and flexibility with our schedule. We had such a great time we didn’t want it to end. Charles took us to off the beaten path locations, a fabulous donut shop, Shannon Falls is stunning. Clean and comfortable vehicle with plenty of room for our luggage and passengers. Water to keep us hydrated. We highly recommend this tour and tour operator. Book with Charles if you can and enjoy your day. Thank you so much for your accommodation to our schedule and needs. Hope to see you again.
Charles was prompt in picking us up from our hotel. He was knowledgeable, funny, and very charismatic. He took us to all the stops listed, but he also allowed us flexibility in timing. We had a great time, and I would recommend this trip to anyone.
Really good flexible your to whistler with Charles. We had the trip just to the two of us because of a cancellation. Good drive and a variety of stops
Our guide was great and it was good to travel and explore in a smaller group (10 people) Shannon falls are well worth a visit
Charles was a great guide. Very knowledgeable,friendly,patient and a good driver.
The tour was brilliant. Charles our tour guide was excellent, nothing was too much trouble and I have to say he was a very careful driver which was very much appreciated. We loved all the stops on the tour and we were well informed about each place we visited and felt the timings in each were just right. Would highly recommend the tour and of course our guide Charles. ( he was a cracking photographer too and took some fantastic pictures for us)
This is a must book experience, Charles gave us such a wonderful, varied, warm, funny day. Waterfalls, movie sets, whistler, places to eat, stop for coffee, taking amazing photos. Wow to it all, thank you Charles truly outstanding
Absolutely worth every penny! Charles is a well versed, fun and GREAT tour guide. We highly recommend this tour.
Was the most beautiful ride from Vancouver to Whistler Canada, was changing color of the trees,rushing waters and Bears perfect time to see them before hibernation . You can travel by busses, which is really reasonable prices. Made new friends
We had such a good time, Charles was excellent. He was friendly, competent and a joy to be around. The day was rainy but we still had a great time!
Christina was the perfect host and everything was great. We really enjoyed Whistler and the falls as well .
That it is a great tour you get to see remarkable sights and Charles the tour guide told us the history of all the sights on the trip. He was very nice and very knowledgeable a pleasure to spend the time with
Charles was an amazing guide, nice man and entertaining. Anyone would be happy to have him as a guide on their trips.
We really enjoyed this tour to Whistler. Our guide, Charles, provided great personalised service. A small group tour where we stopped at both Horseshoe Bay, and Shannon Falls. The cafe at Horseshoe Bay had amazing donuts. Had about 3 hours of free time in Whistler in which to explore the Village. Unfortunately the gondola was closed due to preparations for winter. The village is beautiful and the three hours flew by. Would recommend this tour.
Wonderful tour with our guide Charlie. He pointed out so many things along the way and looked for wildlife as well. Made a stop at Goldie's Donuts & Bakery which had the most incredible donuts and pastries. Horseshoe Bay was such a lovely area and offered great backdrops for pictures! Shannon Falls were beautiful and Whistler's Village the most delightful way to spend the afternoon. Lots of restaurants, bars and shops. Had lunch at the Beacon Pub & Eatery which was delicious. If visiting Vancouver, don't miss Whistler's Village! But Charlie made the day so much more enjoyable. His knowledge of the area, his professionalism and personality were awesome. So glad we picked this tour. I highly recommend it!
Great tour made special by Charles our driver/guide. The drive and stops were great. Whistler was good but maybe an hour too long
Our driver Charles was an amazing human so much knowledge went above & beyond fantastic. He took us to places that weren't on the itinerary
Fantastic tour, the tour guide was fantastic. Went to wonderful places, thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience
Very nice and professional service. Charles was wonderful and very helpful. My husband uses a walker and Charles made our trip easy and enjoyable
Day trip to whistler with stop at Shannon falls water fall . Guide Charles very informative and very friendly . Highly recommended
We had a great time on this tour. We passed many scenic sights. Our guide, Charles, was friendly, informative and provided an exceptional service.
Great day to Whistler! We had enough time to shop, eat lunch, and do the gondola ride up the mountain and back. Charles was fantastic!
It was fabulous, Charles our driver and guide went out of his way to do what we wanted to do. I really recommend them
Enjoyed the tour/bus driver for his friendliness and humor. Enjoyed seeing the falls and Whistler! We were able to take photos during our stops along the way. Could have shortened our time in Whistler as we weren’t interested in shopping.
Our guide Charles was amazing. We got a great narrated tour of the city, Horseshoe bay, and Shannon falls. Whistler was great to walk around and explore. Great way to spend the day.
The positive reviews about our tour guide Charles is true! He is very friendly, his stories and comments about the places we stop to or pass by are very insightful. It’s people like him that make Vancouver tours very special! Excellent service! Cheers! Will be back to see a different side of Whistler during winter.
A perfect day filled with stops showing many beautiful scenic views of Canada and Whistler plus almost 4 hours on our own in Whistler Village. Our guide for the day was Charles who went above and beyond to show us a wonderful time. He was not only knowledgeable about the area but also very helpful and full of personality. We had such a great day. Awesome excursion!! I highly recommend 🙂
Charles, our tour guide, went above and beyond our expectations. He brought us to beautiful photo stops where we were able to take great pictures. He did a great job pointing out places of interest and giving us more information on each. We came away with more knowledge, amazing pictures, and a love of the British Columbia scenery. And Charles made this great tour even better! We would highly recommend this awesome tour!
King Charles is the best guide ever. Knowledgeable, funny, and took great care of us. The sights were amazing. Highly recommend this trip!
Excellent day tour, the gondola ride was impressive with amazing trials to walk. Then we went to Whistler and enjoyed the fantastic village
This is a wonderful full day experience. The journey to Whistler and back is what almost as wonderful as Whistler itself. There are several stops along the way in each direction for local highlights and scenic views. Whistler is fascinating full of shops and restaurants and of course, these spectacular gondola rides to the tops of several mountains.
Great day out. Our guide Charlie was great, was informative, helpful and allowed us plenty of time at all stops. Highly recommend
A great day trip from Vancouver. Well worth doing. Charles was an excellent guide. Whistler is such a pretty place to visit.
The trip up to Whistler was amazing with great scenery and some good stops along the way. King Charles was a fantastic tour guide and gave loads of information. He showed us places which we wouldn't even know about had we driven ourselves. There were just the 2 of us on the day so it was like our own private tour. Would definitely recommend this one.
This was a fun tour and it was so nice to not have to drive ourselves. Charles was a great tour guide. The fall were beautiful and the drive is outstanding. Several in our tour took the gondola to the top of the mountain and really enjoyed it. Charles was very cognizant of the need for regular bathroom breaks and stretch stops. Charles was very friendly and a wealth of information. We really enjoyed our day.
Well, this tour was particularly special because the other six people or eight were not able to show up. So as a result, we had a private tour. Charles was very informative, friendly, helpful. He took us to places that we would never have known to ask about. I highly recommend him as a tour guide, he is excellent at his job.
The sight seeing was great. We had a 7 seater with 4 guests. it almost became like a private tour and that was the best part. Our tour guide Charles from Abass tours kept us entertained and was great, very flexible with time and went out of his way.
Wonderful excursion. Our guide and driver was Charles who shared many background stories along our scenic drive. The weather was sunny and the tour itself was insightful.
