The Best of Squamish Tour from Vancouver
Sarah_N, Sep 2026
A Beautiful Day
The Best of Squamish tour was a full day of taking in the beauty of the area. It included admission to two parks and the mine museum. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. The Sea to Sky gondola ride and park are breathtaking. Squamish Canyon is unbelievable and has a very nice boardwalk to see the canyon. Our tour guide, Zac, was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about the area. He made extra stops like Shannon Falls for the group to see as much as possible. He also drove us through Stanley Park and shared facts and stories about Vancouver

Awesome guide & tour! We ended up doing the running tour a couple of days into our Vancouver trip instead of at the beginning, but he made it even better by customizing the route based on what we'd already seen. Before the tour, he took the time to learn what we wanted to experience and showed us new neighborhoods and sights we probably wouldn't have found on our own. He also shared great recommendations for the rest of our trip and even ideas for our next visit. Friendly, knowledgeable, and a fantastic host—I highly recommend this tour!

It was booked as a group tour but ended up being a private tour with Shima. Shima was very friendly and open to suggestions on where we would like to go. We enjoyed the view from the top floor of the Public Library and walking through the Sun Yat Sen Garden.

I’m not into “modern art” per se, but I am into expanding my mind and imagination. I felt pushed in a good way to see things differently. If I weren’t so tired, I would have spent more time at this beautiful museum - in particular the 3 screen film. The staff were extremely friendly and polite. Wonderful experience

Fun Mystery Outing
A fun mystery experience. Everyone was able to solve several of the clues so it was fun for all. The tour operator was really good at giving helpful hints but not major clues when needed but not interfering with the process. We did it as a mother daughter outing and fully enjoyed it. The food board we had after we solved the mystery was delicious!!
