Thank You so very much for sharing the day with me last Friday and making lasting memories of my trip to Vancouver. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you. You have such a wonderful way about you, I felt like I had known you for years.

Lois was very kind and I enjoyed her lecture/explanation re nature/plants/wildlife just like an "eco tour", which is du jour. It was very educational and I found it very good deal. The route was consulted based on my experience and preference. I choose Quarry Rock in Deep Cove. I recommended the tour to solo travelers, small groups like families or friends.

I can’t say thank you enough to Lois – for making what was already an absolutely stunning evening of snowshoeing in the moonlight a truly unforgettable experience. Right from the start we felt so “at home” with Lois’ company and service. Her warmth, sincerity and copious laughter was like the icing on the cake for what truly was a beautiful, unique experience. The outdoors becomes a form of relaxation therapy when Lois is leading the way.
