11. Testimonials
I have attended the Whistler Music Festival on 5 separate occasions and Affinity Group Tours has fine-tuned this Festival to perfection. The staff is always on-site and available to ensure that everything is running smoothly. All details are well taken care of well in advance of the Festival itself. From travel to accommodations to arranging restaurants. It is always a pleasure to work with Affinity Group Tours – John Ramsey, Notre Dame Catholic Band Calgary, AB
I would do it again in a heartbeat. Lorraine Pearce, Bishop O’Byrne Catholic School Calgary
The Whistler Festival has exceeded my expectations from start to finish. My students were immediately captivated by the positive spirit which flowed from all the participants and adjudicators. Larry Olson, Vancouver College Catholic High School
