Very professional and reliable shuttle service in Kamloops . I came from Sri Lanka and booked the shuttle for myself and my son studying in TRU from Kamloops to Sun peaks just over the phone with Gordon, the owner . Everything was perfect and both up and down journies happened sharp on time. Comparing with other similer service providers , this is the cheapest and most flexible service. Highly recommended

Caitlin Dunn

Really enjoyed our bachelorette wine tour with Marc! Lovely guy with plenty of wine knowledge who was happy to be our group photographer and fun to boot! Gordon was also great dealing with all my emails as I organized the trip and our numbers fluctuated.

Randy dePfyffer

Not only wine tours they also provide shuttles to and from sunpeaks!, and Blue river (Mike Wiegles). Friendly and courteous drivers. Clean inside and out

Jackie Sinkeldam

We were a family of 6 with adult children. Peter was ready and waiting for us at the airport, skillfully packed skis and luggage for all 6 of us, made some special lunch stops so we could enjoy the drive through the mountains. After a crazy travel day it was great to be able to just sit back and relax!

Tasteful Excursions delivers the BEST Kamloops Wine Trail experience! Such a great tour company to work with!

Robbie MacMillan

We scheduled TasteFull Transportation to take us from our hotel in Sun Peaks to the Kamloops airport. Our driver arrived on time, was happy to assist with our luggage (both when loading and unloading), drove safely, and was personable. He conversed about local facts, as well as personal experiences within the area, and was also interested in what we had to say. I highly recommend this service!

This is the second year that we’ve used TasteFull Excursions for our trips to and from Sun Peaks from YKA. The entire process is amazingly easy and I really love that your shuttle is booked associated with a flight so they know if you’re delayed. This year, we faced several changes to our schedule due to the airlines, and dealing with Gordon was amazing. He responded to the changes immediately and rebooked for the new flights. I couldn’t recommend this company more!

Shawn Hamilton

Shuttle service from Kamloops airport to Sun Peaks!

Bart van Yzendoorn

Very good shuttle service. Reliable and professional.

David Verkley

We experienced a customized wine tour with Tastefull Excursions that took us to a sampling of some of the most unique wineries in West Kelowna. Maatje, the owner and our guide for the day, was so personable with our group that we immediately knew we'd have a wonderful day with her leading our tour. We sampled several wineries, and Maatje enhanced our tour by engaging with the winery owners and asking all of the questions we didn't think to ask. She allowed us as much time as we wanted at each site, and was courteous and helpful for the entire day. Our excursion bus was pristinely clean, and it felt like our group was given preferential treatment in the wineries because Maatje brought us there in style and always with a smile. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tastefull Excursions for both tourists or locals who are looking for a unique wine tour experience in the Okanagan Valley.

Sifu Sîlvain Patenaude

Wonderful and great experience ! Everything was great! Wine was fantastic, our tour guide was great, she went out of her way to grab some cherries, and take pics of mountain sheep! Really great overall, good duration, knowledgeable staff. Maajte was really fun! Keep it up Kamloops! You will be on the wine map in no time! Only bought 6 bottles, i guess they were alright! Do it!

Don Middleton

Well priced, and both Tina and Jim were fabulous company on the drive to and from Sun Peaks. Thank you very much!

Chris Jackson (The Window Viper)

We had a very good experience using this service. The communication was good. Prices fair. Reliability was on point.

Denise Davis

Drivers are courteous and always on time. Very reliable service!

Tanya Davies

My family and I needed to get into Kamloops from Sun Peaks. Due to COVID there were limited services that could provide this. Thankfully we had Gordon from TasteFull Excursions to help us. Gordon arrived on time and was happy to take us where we needed to go. Even better, Gordon was easily contactable when we needed to make last minute time and venue changes. Seriously, BEST service ever :-) We’ll definitely us again soon!

Mike Shannon

Have used Tastefull Excursions for a number of trips including one between Big White and Sun Peaks. Drivers were always on time, helpful and courteous, and office staff very helpfull when flight details changed. Would highly recommend Tastefull Excursions.

Diane Lau

Our service was pick up from the Kamloops airport to sunpeaks resorts. Our driver, Peter is very friendly! He was informative to explained to us about the details of the ride, like the duration and what is current condition. Highly recommend this company!

Sonja Thomas

Thoroughly enjoyed our wine tour today with Gord and TasteFull Excursions! Van was clean and very comfortable. Complimentary water during the tour and a cooler with storage for our wine purchases. Would highly recommend any of their tours!!

Stephanie Demeo

Gordon was excellent. He drove around our very loud bachelorette party and was so accommodating to everything!! He took us to 4 wineries and timed everything perfectly, we were never rushed or waiting to get to the next stop. He stored all the wine we bought in a cooler and wrote our names on them so we knew who's was who's - took photos for us so we didn't have to worry about it and emailed them after, and had cold water bottles for everyone. Super reasonable, very fun, and such great service. Will definitely recommend !!!

Just for clarification, we used this company's shuttle service to get us to Sun Peaks Resort from Kamloops airport, and back at the end of our stay. I know they offer a number of excursions but can't comment on that as we haven't taken one. My wife and I found them to be extremely easy to work with. Both drivers (up and back) were very nice, on top of everything. We lucked out and weather was not a factor this time. One needs to accept it can be when taking a ski vacation. They send out reminder emails to keep you on track. When we arrived at Kamloops, the driver was at the luggage carousel with a sign, so there was no "where do we find our ride" involved. Bottom line: We'll be going back to Sun Peaks next year because we loved the hill and the village and last but not least everyone we encountered was just so freaking pleasant. My wife and I live an hour south of Portland Oregon and Sun Peaks is not exactly a straight forward place for us to visit but, boy was it worth it.

Claire Oppermann

We booked with Tastefull Excursions, to transport us from the airport to the Ski Resort. They came recommended to us by the hotel, but I also read good reviews about the company online. We booked online, and they responded quickly. They even stopped at the store for us, on the way to the hotel. They gave us the location of the store, to pre order from. We had our flight changed a few times, and they were very accommodating. They would send us a new receipt, with the time changes. When we arrived they were waiting in the airport with a sign. The vehicle was covid friendly, the vehicle was clean, and comfortable. I would highly recommend using this company.

Geraldine M. Penny

Comfortable relaxed and secure.

Gary Good

Kamloops airport to Sun Peaks and back. Prompt, courteous, helpful drivers. Great service, period.

KC Draheim

The service was excellent, met at the Kamloops airport arrivals door by Tasteful staff. They waited until all had luggage before coordinated departure - effortless trip in a well appointed vehicle and dropped off curbside at our accomodation in Sun Peaks. Very Professional!

Timo Karjalainen

We had a very nice afternoon with my girlfriend touring the Kamloops wineries. Very friendly and excellent service, we were picked up at our hotel punctually on time. Also had great help afterwards with shipping wine back home from a winery we had visited. Highly recommended.

Ines Kowal

Just got a ride from these guys from Sun Peaks to Ebus in Kamloops - super reliable, professional & friendly. Also good prices especially for smaller groups (I was travelling alone).

David Christianson

TasteFull always does a great job for us (even when we forget to book properly in advance!) It's a wonderful, family-feel business, that still delivers in a very professional way. Thanks!

Trevor Graw

We had an amazing time on our wine tour. The communication/organization was excellent and they were SO accommodating. We'll be doing more tours with TasteFull Excursions in the future!

Denis Lavergne

We had a great experience with TasteFull Excursions from start to finish. They were extremely accommodating when our flights were delayed and we ended up not making the shuttle from Kamloops to Sunpeaks because we landed in Kelowna instead. I spoke with Gordon over the phone and he was extremely helpful in offering suggestions on how to get 2 adults and four kids from Kelowna to Sunpeaks last minute. On our return shuttle from the hill, our driver was very friendly and professional. I cannot recommend this business enough!

We had a fantastic day out with TasteFull Excursions in September 2015, our tour guide Maatje’s local knowledge and insights added so much more value to the day, than just the obvious benefit of not having to drive after a wine tasting. At the end of the day, not only had we tasted plenty of wines, but we also had a much deeper understanding of the area. So if you are in the Kamloops area, TasteFull Excursions should be on your list of calls to organise a tour of the area for you. There are probably lots of locals who would enjoy the tours and would certainly know more about their region and its place in the world of wines. We were back in Kamloops in June 2016 and TasteFull once again organised a wonderful day out for us and even organised a picnic at a winery – great views, lovely food, and marvellous wine. TasteFull Excursions were great value for money – entertaining, informative and a safe way to taste lots of wines!

Jacqui Frei

The service and care provided by TasteFull Excursions can only be rated as A+++ We used TasteFull Excursions for our transfer to and from our accommodation in Kamloops. We were picked up on time and both drivers were extremely friendly, telling us about the area and Canada in general. Booking the transfers online was easy and well-priced, I definitely recommend this company! We're even thinking of returning to Kamloops to do TasteFull Excursion's wine tour :)

Marcel Beatch

Unfortunately we all were super underwhelmed with this tour, especially the service. The lady driving, I believe her name was Maca, acted as if it was her personal tour. taking her sweet time at each location and then buying wine and other goods at each venue after we were done and already waiting in the van. For the price paid per person, we definitely expected much better service.

Michael Jonker

My experience with Tastefull excursions on a trip from Sun Peaks Ski Resort to the Kamloops airport was extremely positive. Gordon, who took the booking was very responsive and helpful in explaining the timing and procedure for the trip. The driver was courteous and friendly. Overall, I would highly recommend Tastefull excursions!

Patti East

Did a fabulous job! My flight was delayed 7.5 hrs ..they sad no problem...changed my reservation and were waiting for me when I arrived. Excellent service!

Faye Hewlett

Arrived at the scheduled time. Delivered me to the airport in plenty of time for my flight. That's all I needed.

Mr Electric

My folks had some friends visiting from out of town and they went on a wine tour of our beautiful area and said this was the best service they've ever had!! From the towels, to the water, to the comfortable and clean transportation, they loved every part of it!!! Maatje and Gord are fantastic hosts and truly provide an exceptional experience!! We highly recommend TasteFull Excursions to anyone looking for something fun to do!!

Angela Melville

We had a wonderful time out with Tastefull Excursions. Who knew Kamloops had amazing wineries!!! We were picked up from Sun Peaks Grand hotel, crossed over the McLure cable ferry, went to 3 wineries (including a vineyard tour) and had lunch. The owner Maatje, was our guide and she was just a blast to be around. Very energetic, funny and knowledgable. The tour bus was super clean, comfortable seats and they even had a cooler for us to store our wines. I would highly recommend Tastefull Excursions.

Paul Needelman

In our airline struggles to get to our final destination of Sun Peaks, Tastefull Excursions proved to be rock solid on provided us with reliable, prompt ,trustworthy service . Director of Shuttle Services GORDON was a pleasure to work with, and I kept him updated on our flight delays so that his shuttle driver Peter would know what was currently going on. Peter was courteous,friendly and we conversed well while he focussed on getting us to our destination at 3 a.m. ! For reliable shuttle service from Kamloops airport to Sun Peaks, this should be your 1st call, email. You will not be disappointed!

Elizabeth DB

Met us and other travellers at the luggage carousel. Very friendly, helpful and courteous.

Brian&Elaine Thompson

Excellent service - arrived exactly on time/loaded our bags into the vehicle.Drove appropriately for the road conditions (had snowed overnite and temp hovering near zero degrees). Driver friendly and appropriately interactive. Would definetly use again.

Meg Grainger

Had a wonderful day with friends on the Kamloops wine trail. Our group travelled in style with Maatje, who was our friendly and knowledgeable guide. Her van was spotlessly clean and comfortable. It was great to be able to relax and let her do the driving so we could all responsibly enjoy our tastings! Our experience in the tasting rooms was great - the tasting room staff were all very helpful, and obviously they have a good rapport with Maatje as we never had to wait for tastings (even though one winery was quite busy). Maatje took care of our lunch reservations, and our afternoon was capped off with sipping wine and eating fantastic food on a wonderful patio at Monte Creek. If you're looking to explore BC wine country, I would fully reccomend a Tastefull Excursion!!

Robert Linton

Thank you Gordon for your excellent service.

Donna Nicholson

When my travel plans got delayed, Gordon and his team did everything to help us get where we needed to be. The drivers were kind, helpful and on time. I would gladly book with them again in the future.

Kelly MacDonald

TasteFull Excursions sponsored Safe Rides home for guests at a charity event. They were prompt with responses to emails and phone calls. They were on time. Their vehicle was clean and new. The driver was lovely. I can't recommend them enough for your transport needs! I'm sure their tours are just as great, if not better!

Kevin Harris

Our driver Mark was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his job. Our group was well taken care of had a fabulous time. Customer service was top notch, both with assistance scheduling around other plans and continuing afterwards as I forgot my sunglasses and they were personally dropped off after the fact. 100% recommend!

Tracey Elliott

Gordon from TasteFull was our tour host for 4 of us. He was very helpful with planning our Brew'd in the Loops tour, and we liked being able to choose which facilities we went to. He was right on time, and helped us at every stop by making sure the wineries were ready for us. Very professional and friendly, immaculate transportation that was set up well for Covid prevention, and timely. Thank you Gordon!

Henry & Andrea Janzen

Enjoyed a great day with Tasteful Excursions! Toured 4 different wineries on a beautiful day with an easy going and well-informed host. Have already recommended our experience to others. Thank you, Gordon!

Anthony “Maverick” T

Just allful

Lorelee Ruygrok

What a great way to experience the Kamloops Wine Trail. You are able to enjoy the wine tasting at each of the wineries and you don't have to worry about driving. Your driver also gives you lots of information about the area. I have now been on the tour twice and I am taking family on the tour in August. I am a fan!!!

Julie Klotz

Super shuttle service! We missed our connecting flight in Vancouver and therefore had to change airports. Phoned Gordon and he made the change and someone was waiting for us in Kelowna instead of Kamloops. Thank you for being so helpful and accommodating.

A Singer

The best hands on service out there in Kamloops. Both Gordon and his team made sure my daughter and friend were picked up and delivered to Sun Peaks - they went above and beyond. 5 star service !!! Thank you so much

Jessica Szoke

Tried called over 6 times for all my calls to be sent straight to voicemail after 2 rings. Left several voicemails for someone to get back to me. Very unprofessional. Would not recommend this company.

Damian Shai-Hee

Great professional service, value and providing top quality service to the Kamloops/Sun Peaks communities. Without TasteFull there would be major transportation issues. Just bare in mind the impacts of COVID to small business and support TasteFull Excursions. Highly recommend Maatje, Gordon & Team! Thanks so much for everything!

Nick Parr

Great service , thank you for a fantastic airport run ! We will definitely use again ????

Brenda Shandro

Excellent, organized and friendly shuttle services from airport to Sun Peaks with exceptional driver who tackled the bad road conditions like a true professional.

Ashlee Isaak

I booked a wine tour for my bachelorette. We stayed in Sunpeaks and were picked up and dropped off at our rental. Maatje made our experience excellent from start to finish. Gordon and Maatje were pleasant to deal with from the first phone call. If you’re looking to do a wine tour in Kamloops, Tastefull Excursions is the company to book with.

Mare

Gordon and Marc were beyond helpful when it came to organising last minute transport! Comfortable drive, lots of interesting things to point out to us on the way and just great people to chat with!

G M

Called to make a reservation and they did not return my call for three days. I booked with the competition who responded in one hour.

Kyle Jamieson

Very friendly and professional

Roger Nickel

One of the best carriers that come to our Airport FBO. New equipment and friendly professional drivers. Leave the winter driving to Tastefull Excursions.

Prithika Ganesh

Gordon was waiting to greet us and arranged for a quick stop at the pharmacy prior to driving us to the resort. Very efficient friendly and courteous service.
