Friendly guide
My favorite part to see was the Capilano Suspension Bridge. The tour guide Ryan was very friendly and told us a lot about the things we saw but in a fun way! It was the right amount of program so we saw enough in the short time we had.

It’s everything you want, loved it!!
We completed two days of tours with Discover Canada tours. Whistler sea to sky as well as North Vancouver tour with Capilano suspension bridge and Granville Island .. unbelievable how much attention the guides give. Rene the tree hugging sensation has a brilliant sense of humour. awesome gentlemen guide on our sea to sky who can handle late comers like a pro and kept us chilled whilst there was unsuspected delay on the road..
The staff online are also great to deal with also and the ground crew are friendly and supportive.
Thank you can’t wait to use them again and highly recommend them for our cruise groups for pre and post excursions.
