Whether you’re visiting in summer or winter, this tour adapts well to different seasons, as it’s primarily an outdoor, on-foot experience.

What Does the Tour Cover?

The tour guides you through Whistler’s most interesting sights and hidden corners, with questions that can only be answered in person. For example, you might find yourself examining plaques, statues, or artworks closely to uncover clues. The clues are designed to encourage you to look around and appreciate details often missed during hurried visits.
One notable feature is the photo challenges. Each participant receives fun prompts to take creative photos, earning points for style, composition, or humor. These challenges not only make the experience more engaging but also leave you with a collection of memorable snapshots of your day.
The interactive roles assigned to each person help diversify the experience. Everyone has a specific task—some may be in charge of taking photos, others might focus on answering questions—so every member of your group stays actively involved. This aspect fosters teamwork and keeps the energy lively.
