I have used Cheers many times between the Kelowna Airport & Vernon. Lou, Don & everyone else I have dealt with have always been very professional & kind. They not only have accommodated me every time, often times on very short notice but also are incredibly pleasant not only on the phone when booking but also during all trips. They are always on time & I seldom consider alternative transport to & from the Kelowna Airport when travelling for work. Additionally, the prices are incredibly reasonable when compared to a Taxi, particularly when you consider the quality of the Transportation compared to a Cab. A very good Shuttle Company that I would highly recommend to anyone need transport to or from the Airport, for guided tours, etc.

We booked a two day golf trip in Kelowna, we had transportation both days to and from our hotel to two different courses with a group of ten. All drivers Allen, Lou and Gregory, we’re great at communicating, punctual and accommodating. We had an amazing trip and will definitely use their service again

I was so pleased with my experience with cheers. From the moment I made the booking they made sure to communicate with me about anything I might have needed to know. My flight also ended up being delayed but my driver, Don, was so kind and understanding about it; he also pointed out interesting landmarks and gave me plenty of facts about the region as well as just being overall very professional. Cheers also let me choose where to do my grocery shopping and my safety coming up the mountain was a big priority for them. I definitely will use their services again. Amazing!

We had a group of 12 on this tour and I was so glad they were able to pick up/drop off at where we stayed in the La Casa resort, which is about 30 minutes outside of Kelowna. There was a flat fee of $200 for the round trip transportation which I thought was a good price considering we were pretty out of the way and it alleviated having to designate anyone in the group as the DD. We opted for the half day No Frills tour and visited Ciao Bella, Volcanic Hills, and Rollingdale. Pam was great and gave us lots of facts about the region and the wineries we visited.

Jessica, thank you for giving your time to provide an excellent review. You’re correct, La Casa Cottages is pretty out of the way, but I’m thrilled we became a convenient lifeline back to civilization at a good price so your group of 12 could enjoy a great time on a fantastic wine tour. Without question, the single greatest influence on the atmosphere, pace and tone of a tour of any kind is the guide. Pam will surely appreciate your high praise! Your review should get “helpful” votes from travelers the world over!
On behalf of Pam and my entire team of employee/partners, thank you so much for allowing us the opportunity to earn the privilege of your trust, commerce, a sensational testimony, and a lifetime of referrals! We’re family-run, caring, candid, authentic, and a little nutty. AND, we simply can’t live without you! I appreciate you! Allen Burke, Owner

On my return trip, my flight was 5 hours late getting in to Kelowna Airport - arriving at almost 11 PM. My pickup reservation had been for 6PM. Just on chance that I could still make it home that night, i called Cheers office and a cheerful voice named "Allen" answered and reluctantly told me that no drivers were available and a pickup couldn't be done until noon the next day. I opted to look into taking a cab and found one who would charge $120 - by that time I just wanted to go home. He loaded my bags and I got in to this "stinky" cab, prepared to travel all the way to Vernon with the window down. Then I got the call ! Allen had called around and found another angel named Owen in downtown Kelowna who was willing to come get me and drive me to Vernon. I couldn't get out of that cab fast enough. 20 min later Owen pulled up, loaded my bags and we had great trip to Vernon - lively conversation, wonderfully clean shuttle and exceptional curbside service. Both Allen and Owen were my heros that night and they went above and beyond my expectations. This company is family owned, knows what the word service means and definitely puts their customers first. I will and have recommended them over and over again. Definitely 9 out of 5 stars !!

“DEFINITELY 9 OUT OF 5 STARS !!” is quite an endorsement. WOW! Thank you!
And thank you Brandy, for giving your time to share your testimony and provide an excellent review. Folks around the world reading your review will appreciate knowing Cheers Okanagan Tours is shamelessly obsessed by customer enthusiasm! Yes, we’re authentic and family-owned, we typically go above and beyond our guest’s expectations, delivering safe, clean, reliable tour and transportation services, we employ articulate professional chauffeurs like Owen, and whenever possible, we will “pull a rabbit out of the hat” (do something surprising and seemingly impossible; as if done by magic) like re-positioning a downtown Kelowna asset to do an airport to Vernon shuttle.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the privilege of your trust, commerce, testimony, and a lifetime of referrals! Cheers! ♥Allen

I organised the cheers shuttle service before my trip to BC, Canada snow skiiing at silver star resort back home in South Australia. I found the booking service super easy online with very reasonable rates, pick up from Kelowna airport and dropped off right at my accomdation door step up the mountian, same on the return pick up at the accomodation and dropped off at the airport. But most impressive was option to go food shopping before heading up the mountian, including a bottle shop stop. Great service and great company to deal with.

Zeb, “FOUND THE BOOKING SERVICE SUPER EASY ONLINE WITH VERY REASONABLE RATES” and “GREAT SERVICE AND GREAT COMPANY TO DEAL WITH” authenticates our shameless obsession to become the most recognized, celebrated, and legendary tour and transportation brand in the Okanagan.
Recently, someone pointed out Cheers! vaulted from 124th place to 3rd place on TripAdvisor® in less than three years for tours and transportation in the Okanagan. We appreciate the privilege of delivering extraordinary service to our guests with a “nothing-is-too-much-trouble” attitude. I’m so glad you were impressed by our SHOPPING STOP before ascending the mountain.
Thank you so much for your trust, commerce, testimony, and referrals. We look forward to serving you again soon. Please tell your friends and neighbors about your tremendous experience and have them contact us too. Cheers! Allen Burke

We had the pleasure of riding with Allen Burke from RedBird brewing back to Lake Country after the NYE event. Allen was an awesome driver and arrived early for pick up, the entire booking process was simple and the quote contained all upfront costs with no hidden fees. Booking the shuttle was the best guarantee for a ride home and kept us all together. Highly recommend Cheers to anyone looking for a private shuttle for a large group

Great private return shuttle to Vance Creek at Silverstar Mountain. Petra was an amazing driver who not only accommodated our stops but gave us some local background and history. We were welcomed at the airport by staff and they communicate all information in a way that will not disappoint. Looking forward to our next trip out, until then Cheers!!!

Sam, thank you for giving your time to provide an excellent review of your private return shuttle. Petra is definitely an amazing driver! You deserve an engaging, knowledgeable, professional raconteur and service aficionado who shares colorful local history and interesting information, and Petra delivers!!!
As a traveler myself, I too really appreciate exceptional communication “THAT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT”. I’m so glad our partiality for exemplary communication is coming through loud and clear.

We took a 2 hour boat tour with Captain Berne. It was marvelous. The perspective from the water is amazing and he was a delightful host, with great stories about many of the beautiful homes along the shores of gorgeous Lake Okanagan. Highly recommended

Greg, thank you for giving your time to deliver an excellent review of your Cheers Okanagan Tours’ 2-Hour Boat Tour.
Captain Berne is definitely a delightful host, with great stories about many of the beautiful homes along the shores.
Unquestionably, the single greatest influence on the atmosphere, pace, and, tone of a tour of any kind is the guide. Great tour guides like Berne demonstrate passion and personality. Great guides interpret and present each tour as an extension of themselves – as naturally as breathing. Berne will appreciate your high praise.
