We had a smooth drive both to and from Whistler. The driver who picked us up in Whistler and drove us to the airport was exceptional. (I forget his name. I think it may have been David??) He was very knowledgable about the area and how different Rocks and mountains were formed. He even stopped at a pretty spot on the "Sea to sky highway" to take a picture of our family with the ocean and snowcapped mountains in the background. Very memorable. We would definitely Recommend Whistler Executive Transportation and would use them again!

We went to Whistler, took the gondola up Whistler Mountain which takes approx 25 minutes, then the Peak 2 Peak gondola to Blackcomb takes another 11 minutes. We took the glass bottom gondola back to the Whistler side where there is hike you can take to reach the ski lifts to take you to the very top where there is a new attraction- the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven's Eye. It is spectacular! The ski lift was a bit unnerving for someone like me as I have never been skiing and it's an open air chair lift - and it is high, like, really HIGH up there. The ski lift ride takes about 10 minutes. Once you reach the top you can walk around on easier trails for the most amazing views; walk on the Cloudraker Skybridge and Raven's Eye outlook and then you take the ski lift back down a level where you will hike back to the gondola level. The hike is only about 10 minutes but may not be suitable for all health conditions as it is hilly and composed of dirt and gravel. You should wear good walking shoes. There is a height restriction to ride the ski lift. It is very cold up there so you need to wear layers. We initially had trouble locating the Peak 2 Peak starting point, but we asked at the gallery and they were most helpful. You should park in lots 1 - 5 and go to the Upper Village.The starting point is right in the Village. Whistler is such a friendly place, so do not be afraid to ask someone for information.

We booked VIP Whistler for a group trip to the airport. The drivers arrived a few minutes early and were extremely professional. The ride was better than expected and the driver was super. The real standout for us was on the way home from the airport. We were getting close to home when we spotted smoke coming from a small housing complex. The driver did not hesitate and pulled into the complex to see if there was a problem. It turned out that a fire had just started underneath a deck and the side of the structure was on fire. The driver ran back to the limo and got the fire extinguisher and assisted the homeowner (and us) in putting out the fire. It took about 15 minutes in total. The fire department showed up about 15 minutes later. It was truly astonishing how fast the driver made the decision to jump into action. I think he could have saved the home from being burnt down. Regardless, the company is fantastic, drivers and vehicles are top notch. Drivers will clearly go out of their way if required. Don’t waste your time on any other limo company in the area. These guys are the best.

The Whistler Shuttle provides the most comfortable, affordable, and timely service between Vancouver Airport (YVR) and Whistler.
Reviewed By maxxfish
Used Whistler Shuttle for YVR to Whistler transfers and for a day trip to Vancouver for the hockey. With small children, the wait times were always going to be key and Whistler Shuttle exceeded our expectations at every turn. On time, organized and comfortable, I can't fault Whistler Shuttle. Don't let RideBookers more utilitarian attitude put you off, once you come into contact with Whistler Shuttle themselves, the professionalism and customer service is second to none.

Rent a car in Vancouver and drive the Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler. It is an amazingly beautiful drive and the Gondola ride up and down is fantastic. Coming down we saw a black bear just sauntering up the ski lift area looking for blueberries. The scenery is amazing. Once up, you must take the next gondola...Peak to Peak.
