Fantastic Guide; Awesome Sights
Maria_S
, Jun 2022
Our Via Ferrata tour had to be canceled because there was too much snow on the mountain (in June!). Still, we were contacted in advance and offered an alternative excursion— the cliff walk and glissading combo tour. Our guide Erica was sooo positive, informative, enthusiastic, and professional. She called my husband’s fear of heights and made everyone confident and comfortable during our cliff walk. She also too the best photos of us of our whole vacation! I would love to return to Whistler and do Via Ferrata, but the company and the substitution tour were the highlight of our vacation (much credit to our guide and the flawless weather!).

Confession - this was a bit overwhelming for me. I'm short, and not extremely limber, so there were points where I struggled to get from point A to Point B reaching from one hand/foothold to another. The altitude played a factor in it, also. There were a couple of points where I wanted to give up and pay big bucks for a helicopter rescue, but took some deep breaths, gathered some strength and made it to the next handhold. This 57 year old lady doesn't quit! But this is not a reflection on the tour itself, simply me stating that I'm not as young, strong, athletic and in-shape as I used to be!
The great parts: our very patient and knowledgeable guide the scenery - snow in July, mountain and valley views the overall wow factor a sense of accomplishment. I never felt like we were in danger, I wasn't scared, and it was a seriously cool experience.
I wanted this to be a challenge, and it was! To be honest, the descriptions made it sound easier than it was. Even my strong, athletic daughter found it to be physically challenging. Just be prepared, know your limits, bring some nutrition and water and a lot of fortitude, and enjoy.

This tour was amazing! Theresa, our guide, was so friendly and super helpful and supportive; she placed me behind her as I was not used to walking in snow or climbing. The climb pushed me to my limits. With lots of adrenaline and low risk being tethered in makes it a fun alpine experience. Although it was cloudy and couldn't see anything below, it was an amazing activity.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
