We have thoroughly enjoyed servicing all of our clients over the years, many of which have gone on to become repeat clients and several of which we now consider as friends!

Please enjoy some of our clients Testimonials and see how they really feel about their Whistler experiences with us

“My name is Suze Cumming and I live and play in Whistler BC. Last year,m y brother and his wife asked me to help them plan a vacation to Whistler for their large and growing family. I was excited to have them come and visit our mountain dreamland and so set out to plan the best experience possible. My research landed me on the doorstep of Michael Turvey and Whistler Horizons.

I am writing this testimonial because I wanted to share what a wonderful experience Michael and his guide Forest created for us. From the first phone call, through all of the planning details, and right through the vacation to the end, these guys made it all happen and totally exceeded our expectations on every front. Their intimate knowledge with the mountain and the resort, their attention to the details, their passion for creating great experiences and their natural and effective way of communicating with people – all of this worked together to create a magical vacation.

It was everything we could of dreamed of. Thanks Mike and Forest, for making this happen is such an awesome way. You have my business from now on. “

Our greatest thanks to Marie and all of the staff at Whistler Horizons for helping make our Whistler vacation memorable.

“I have been booking with Luxury Horizons for well over five years, basking in the attention to detail and service they provide to busy business people that love to ski in winter and summer in the Rockies in summer: A true vacation resource.”

Yves Farges, CEO Qualifirst Group of Companies – Vancouver, Canada

 

“I visited Whistler for the first time in February 2009 and contacted Luxury Horizons for help with our stay. They offered services above and beyond what I would normally expect from a travel service company. Roxanne told us about the different locations we could stay and even offering advice based on feedback we had given her. She even set up a day of skiing with Mike, a ski guide provided by Luxury Horizons at no charge, who took us to some great local spots and recommended other spots to avoid the crowds. Our trip went off without a hitch, thank you Luxury Horizons, I would definitely use your service again.”

Chris Cameron – Portland, Oregon, USA

 

“Four Seasons Resort Whistler – Fantastic time! Well looked after. Ski concierge, great idea and very helpful and makes skiing a dream. (Especially after a long day on the slopes, no carrying of ski’s and heavy boots etc, and you’re greeted with a lovely hot chocolate…really great). The rooms are large, well furnished, with big modern bathrooms. (Really great bathrooms) walk in closet, and gas fireplace. We both loved this hotel…In the upper village, (I think preferable to stay) shuttles from Four Seasons every 10 mins, making it really handy. We were truly sad to leave once our 7 days were up. On a separate note, we used a travel operator called Whistler Horizons. The whole trip from shuttles from and to the airport, lift tickets, ski lessons, ski hire, was ALL sorted out by them. It was a real pleasure to arrive and have everything taken care of. Highly recommend their service. Ask for Marie Weston.”

Leisel Sandler – Johannesburg, South Africa

Our accommodation at the Four seasons was excellent and throughout the booking process and during our stay your colleague Clare kept us up to date and even recommended good restaurants etc. We will definitely return and we will definitely use luxury horizons when we do! I have already passed your website to friends and fellow skiers! Regards John”

Phil Williams – United Kingdom

 

“I have to say we had a fabulous time in Whistler. 3 of us have not been there for 11 years and we had three successful holidays there prior to that. As you may know I had several conversations with Roxanne who was absolutely brilliant and managed to understand exactly what we wanted and came up with the perfect solution for us. It took all the aggravation out of us looking to book all the individual items ourselves, from taxi transfers to ski hire, lift passes and accommodation The Nita Lake Lodge was gorgeous and the apartment at Woodrun Lodge cosy (it did need a bit of updating) but the location was ideal and it was very comfortable. I have already recommended you to a friend of mine who I’m sure will be in touch. We would not have a moments hesitation in contacting your team again to assist us in planning our future holidays. Please pass on our thanks to Roxanne. Best regards Lynn”

Lynn Ryan – Wraysbury, UK
