Sights we saw were all interesting and beautiful. Highly recommend this tour. Highlight for me was the Olympic bob sledding run.

AWESOME!!!! My daughter and I loved each of the restaurants chosen and their food offerings. It was a lot of food and we enjoyed the brew and wine parings too. We returned to Rogers Chocolates to take some home. Our guide Andrew Bacon was FABULOUS. He gave us lots of information about Whistler. Took opportunities to take pictures of my daughter and I at the Inuksuk and at the Olympic Rings. He was hilarious and kept us entertained. We loved him. This is a must do.

This is our second time taking the Finer Things tour. We were a group of six and brought two new friends. As in the past, our tour was nothing less than fantastic and tour guide, Luke, was FABULOUS and made the evening, and we, feel special. There are many surprises along the way, which I will not spoil for you, but I can say it's much more than just food and wine. All the food was stellar and I hear the wine was wonderful. I'm not a fan ???? We had two folks with dietary restrictions, which were handled at all places throughout the evening. All the replacements were just as yummy. The staff at every stop were very friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed learning a little more each time. Thanks again for a great experience in Whistler! This is one not to be missed and worth every penny. Melissa Prescott, AZ

Whistler and the surrounding area is beautiful and it is nice to get out of town and to enjoy nature. Ria, my guide and driver was outstanding : knowledgeable, friendly, safety-conscious, and had great sense of humor. Bella, her pooch, joined us on the trip, which made it even more delightful. I would definitely recommend this trip.
