 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amir was our driver from Vancouver International Airport to Whistler and back again. He was supremely kind, patient, and professional. When we were stuck in a highway closure for over 8 hours due to an investigation after an accident that occurred earlier in the day, he patiently waited it out with us and drove us safely to our destination. He was also very kind when one of our children became ill in his car. In addition, Amir arrived early each time to pick us up and helped us with our luggage. His car was also spotless and he drove safely and comfortably. We enjoyed  exceptional service from beginning to end!  I can’t thank Amir enough for his professionalism and kindness. We will be sure to book with Alpine North, and hopefully Amir, again!

He is an excellent driver and was very attentive and kind. I felt safe in very large vehicles with him as the operator. I will continue to use Alpine North to get to Whistler and hope to have Sulhi as the driver for every trip!
