We chose to do a coach tour to Whistler from Vancouver. You can also
do the trip by train (this includes breakfast and an evening meal) but you
have to get up too early (7 am train!) and we we're on holiday! The
mini-bus trip was really good. We went with West
Coast City & Nature Sightseeing. The guide, Holgar,
was witty, funny and knowledgeable and had lots of great stories to tell us.
I believe that all of the tours will pick you up from your hotel (around 8:30
am). You can pay by cash or credit card. The cost was CDN $56.
Our group was a mixture of Brits, Americans, Aussies et al. Holgar stopped
at all the best places and allowed us ample time to take photos. I'm
not going to give a long description (I couldn't do justice to Holgar).
Suffice to say we had a great time and our thanks go to Holgar :-)

The Shannon Falls. Impressive but much more impressive in spring
after the snow thaws.
