Walking tours season may be coming to an end, but we’ll be offering two weeks of fam tours for any interested Whistler business or organization starting today!

Ever found yourself lost in Whistler Village? The unique flow of Whistler Village was actually one man’s specific intention! On our one hour tour you can learn more about him and many others who have helped to shape Whistler as it is today. As we wander through Whistler Village you’ll uncover Whistler’s start as a fishing lodge, tales behind the mountain development, and our long journey to the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The tour is approximately one hour long. Each tour is led by a long-time local, each with their own personal knowledge to add to Whistler’s story. Whether you’re visiting us, here to work for the season or have lived here for years we guarantee you’ll be sure to learn something new. Do you know how Whistler and Blackcomb mountains got their names? Or when the first Olympic bid was placed? This is your chance to find out the answers to these questions and so many more!
Valley of Dreams Walking Tours occur every day at 11 am in June, July and August. Meeting outside the Whistler Visitor Centre on Gateway Loop, these daily tours are offered by donation.
