John from Benz Tours was amazing in taking us around in Vancouver to Sea-Sky Highway Gondola to Whistler. Lynn Canyon Suspension park, Sea to Sky Highway view points, Gondola, Squamiish village, Whistler, Golf Course. He was so kind that he got donuts for all of us on the way back to the town. Very knowledgeable of the area and very friendly. We were never rushed at any tour spot and probably took extra time than the designated trip hours.

We liked his service that we booked another trip to drop us from our Airbnb to port on the cruise day. Thank you John!

We’ve booked and used numerous transfer companies in BC and AB in the last 4 years so I do feel that we have some experience with this type of service.

If you want to book a shuttle company and know that you will safely arrive then I highly suggest you book another shuttle provider.

On both occasions with this company a vehicle arrived that barely fit all luggage pieces, this was despite the booking having the number of luggage pieces listed. It was a case of playing Tetris with the luggage bags and bags pressing on seatbelts and requiring clambering over to get around the vehicle.

On one occasion the driver messaged the day before confirming the time being 30 mins earlier than was initially booked, whilst good communication this change in time impacted us and our plans significantly.

On both occasions the driver had a vehicle that did not seem fully road worthy, the suspension was strange and the handling and wheel alignment was off, this contributed to the vehicle bouncing and swerving on the road creating travel sickness from passengers.

On both occasions the driver sped on all parts of the road and concerningly during corners on the Coquihalla highway. The driver was asked multiple times to slow down, this request was only listened to for a short time before speeding resumed and as such even dangerous drifting around corners.

These are just the significant moments that contributed to us feeling unsafe. I urge caution if choosing this company - cheaper doesn’t equal better (and definitely not safer).

I was terrified the whole way because of speeding, swerving, driver texting and kids vomiting because of the erratic driving - it wasn’t even a mountain road! Pleasant and helpful drivers but they need to drive more safely.

This was an extremely bad experience, the driver was not only fluctuating in speed but also swerving in and out of the lane! This made not one but two people inside the vehicle throw up, might I add it was on a straight high way. The vehicle was un equipped for the multiple ski bags.

Bonjour-Hi!
We recently took the Benz 16 people private shuttle from YVR to Whistler and then from Whistler to YVR. We were 13 adults, all with ski and snowboard gears.

I must say that reading some of the terrible reviews here.., we really hesitated to book with them! But, I sent an email and received a very quick and positive reply from Johnson. Also, happy people rarely post back... so here I am, describing our positive experience!

- our flight was 1 hour ahead of scheduled. One text message and the bus showed up to the airport, with clear pickup location indications --> in 5 minutes <--!!
- we had plenty of space (we took the 16 passengers minibus). You could really be 16 people in it...
- the bus was in good condition...
- the drive was direct and quick... the group was dropped and picked at 2 specific locations in whistler
- the return was completely uneventful, we got to the airport with plenty of time to checkin (pickup up time of 07:30 in Whistler).
- communication is easy and quick thru whatsapp
- if you want a touristic description of the region, ask for Gary!

In summary, it all worked perfectly. My experience says that you can trust Benz Tours!
hope this helps, safe travels,
-jc
