Incredible afternoon escape with our family and a taste of the outdoors. Brent was extremely knowledgeable of Squamish and the inspiring terrain, wildlife and history. Our 3 kids (8 ,11, 13) loved the scenery, trails and stories ! Our favorite part of the trip were the trails through the coastal rain forest along the Squamish estuary were our kids searched the ocean horizon for a potential glimpse of Orcas spotted in the Howe Sound earlier that day. We loved everything about the tour from the guide, trails, amazing countryside and scenic mountain tops. Thanks to Brent for his expert creation of a unique outdoor family tour.

We saw so many beautiful sights in and around Stanley Park, including an eagle's nest! They even provided ponchos just in case the Vancouver weather decided not to cooperate. One thing to know: the tour moves at a pretty good pace. It didn't bother us at all, but slower riders may find themselves bringing up the rear. Great way to see Stanley Park. We'd absolutely recommend this tour!

Below is my wife review…read more For me, I was hit by a fallen bike from a fellow group member, the company should remind people to hold their bikes safely during safety briefing. Our tour guide Nick is a nice person, but he just rode so fast and he left me so far behind. The tour pace was so fast that it forced people to run traffic lights and it's very unsafe for first timers in the city. We asked for partial refund and was denied by the manager Katie who obnoxiously by email all our negative experiences. This forced me to write this review here. This bike tour was the most miserable part of our first time visit to the otherwise very beautiful city. --- The bike rented for me was difficult to ride. Somehow the pedals kept jamming a few times when I started to ride. The gear was ok and I was pretty sure I switched gears correctly when biking, but sometimes I had to paddle real hard. I do bike around home so this certainly feels very awkward today. Tour was pretty fast paced so didn't really get to enjoy the views along the route. kind of stressed too with so many opposite and rushing bikers around as well as pedestrians.

I recently joined a tour with Whistler eBikes and had a great time overall. The highlight was…read moredefinitely our guide -- friendly, engaging, and clearly knowledgeable about the area, which made the ride more enjoyable. The tour itself was well-paced, offering a long, smooth journey through Whistler with plenty of scenic views. It was much more relaxing than I expected, and a really fun way to spend a day outdoors. That said, the bikes themselves could use some updates. They felt old, fairly heavy, and a couple had worn-down tires, which took away from the otherwise smooth ride. Some sections of the trail looped back on themselves, which made the route feel a bit repetitive at times. Overall, though, it was a good experience: beautiful landscapes, a laid-back atmosphere, and a guide who made the tour engaging. With some bike upgrades, this could easily become a five-star experience. Works out to be 150$/person for 2.5 hours. Maybe pricey for most but it is competitive pricing.

Gayle, Erin, Jim, and I recently rented electric bikes for our "peddling" tour of Stanley Park and…read morealong the False Creek waterfront. This was our first time on an electric bike and we all enjoyed the easy-to-use assist features that supplemented our manual option. CONS - Jim's chain fell off twice, with a nice guy helping to fix it the first time. After the second time, he used the electric feature to bring the bike back to the barn. +/- - Erin scored a discount on our bikes and Jim's issue was credited. However, the credit card entries took awhile to sort themselves out. PROS - Jim's issue aside, our bikes were top quality, easy to use, and fun to ride. - Bee's Knees staff were very helpful and responsive to our beginner questions and the above bike chain issue. - Stunning scenery and well marked bike paths. - Vancouver takes their bikes very seriously including the practice that traffic laws apply to all. BOTTOM LINE - I'd happily use Bee's Knees again for a bike rental.

Like everyone else, I'm pretty sure this year has been feeling like one of the longest never ending…read morestories of our lives!!! 2020 please end soon ... please!? Needed this dayscape - via the magnificent Sea-to-Sky Highway to the majestic mountain enclave - Whistler - in beautiful British Columbia! Folks be prepared - you will be tempted to stop several times on the drive up. Spectacular views during the daylight hours will leave you breathless!!! This review is done under - Whistler - but encompasses the drive up, the beautiful scenery, the mountains & forest that are all part of an amazing nature built province ('State' - for all those in Merica) of BC. And no, BC does not belong to Britain but to Canada. Don't laugh I've been asked this question before! I won't get into the whole Commonwealth technicality but yes if one is leaning towards that angle I guess you could say - the Queen does own the whole of Canada as we pay mega bucks as in millions each year to the UK - to be part of the British Empire! Oh how lucky we are!? So Harry & Megan got tired of this British royalty life & escaped to a quieter environment in ... Hollywood!?? Ok then!!! The big draw to Whistler is in the winter - skiing & snowboarding. The Blackcomb & Whistler mountains are world wide renowned & super popular! Hiking & mountain biking takeover in the summer. Whistler is mighty expensive so bring all 5 of your credit cards! There are a few good restaurants as well but please make reservations ahead of time or you'll be left hopping around to find whatever's available. Of note & in no particular order but worth trying, Oso Bar (Spanish) - make reservations this spot is fire (thank you manager for the complimentary dessert), Lucia Gelato (try the Ginger flavour), Fat Tony's Pizza (open till 3am so could be a real life saver), El Funiture Warehouse aka All Food @ $5.95 Everyday - that's like $3 bucks US right!?! Everyone eats here, superstars, the rich, the average Joe - there's no class rules when your starving & don't want to blow a lot of money - you will save money eating here!!! Avalanche Pizza, Splitz Grill (can be pricey but it's the burger you design so blame yourself for the hunger causing your mind to go crazy with so many toppings) & finally tacos at La Cantina. There's a few more spots including fine dining but that will be for an update after covid-19 ends. I'm real hesitant to go inside & prefer to stick to patio dining for now, as much as I can. The Whistler Village area is real easy to walk around in & you'll only need to drive if you have to go further up the mountain. I have been coming to Whistler since the early 90s & have stayed in many hotels & condo rentals. Definitely shop around & prebook your stay before coming up here. However, today's trip was just a day trip escape from the big city & was thoroughly enjoyed. The drive from Vancouver takes 90 minutes or less depending on how fast you drive - longer if you stop along the way & or make a pit stop in Squamish, a beautiful town & worth the stop - see my Squamish review. Whoa got the shock of my life while walking about! Five years ago on a cruise in the Caribbean, our group met the super charismatic, charming, & so awesome Cruise Director (entertainment) Matt! Check him out on Instagram @ mattcruisedirector. Merica many of you might be very familer with him from the Carnival Cruise Line!!! Couldn't believe he's now living here - currently on the Sunshine Coast of BC but will be relocating to Vancouver. It was a pleasure to run into him & his wife! I had vivid fond cruise flashback memories while chatting with him. That awesome cruise back in 2015 on Carnival Breeze was phenomenal!!!!! It was a total awesome riot! I discovered my island paradise - Curaçao! Side note - Vancouver & Whistler hosted the 2010 Winter Olympics! I can tell you from first hand experience with actually being involved in the Olympics as a volunteer - it was so spectacular an event!!!!! Vancouverites today still speak highly of it! Super natural Whistler is highly recommended if you've never been - so do check it out! Come experience Whistler & be wowed!!! You will exhale & feel that - we got this ... life is good after all!!!!!

I purchased the 5 days edge pass in May without realizing that my mom will need a knee replacement surgery this coming winter. As soon as I know the surgery is happening in this coming winter, I put in a request online to refund my money at the beginning of July. They not only asking you to fill out a mile long form with all those emails going back and forth, you are also requested to get all the signed documents from the doctors for approvals. It's been 2 months and I am still waiting for the refund. I've been going to Whistler for more than 30 yrs, this year is the worst experience ever.

We did a…read more5-day single track guided MTBing experience in June 2024; Alistair and Anna were quick to respond to all my questions and helped us customize the tour so we could have more days at the bike park. We arranged to bring our own clip pedals, they supplied full face helmets and other protective gear as needed for the bike park, which Lizzie help us fit. (Pro tip: remember to bring glasses or goggles for the bike park.) I was able to ride a DH bike for the bike park days, then switch to a Transition Relay (e-bike) for the other days. Lizzie made sure our bikes were adjusted to fit and we set off for the bike park! Lizzie is an excellent guide and coach! She made the experience fun for all of us, though we have different skill and endurance levels. She prepared us each step of the way and answered all our questions so we could just focus on having fun. She gave us tips on riding drops, jumps, and slabs and found the best places to session each. I appreciated that she gave us choices for each day's adventure. Often there were more and less technical routes that allowed us to ride "together," yet at our own levels. Lizzie also gave me some helpful tips for riding the e-bike that will come in handy back home. If you are planning your first trip to MTB in Whistler, I highly recommend working with Arbutus Routes to plan one or more tours. There are a dizzying array of trails to ride in Whistler/Squamish/ Pemberton, and a guide (Lizzie!) can get you to the trails that are the most fun and the most appropriate for you.

The E-bike is amazing, very powerful. Enjoyed a full day trip with all the lakes visited.read more
