Distinctly Kelowna Tours
Kelowna Wine Tours
Distinctly Kelowna Tours is one of the Okanagan Valley’s leading tourism businesses.
It is recommended by local tourism agencies, hotels, wineries, restaurants and golf courses.
Distinctly Kelowna Tours opened its doors in 2003, soon to be followed by the famous Okanagan Mountain Park wildfires which stopped tourism in its’ wake. However the company persevered, quickly recovered and continued to grow the business and expand the tour offerings and fleet of vehicles.
In 2007, the company won the “Business Excellence Award” sponsored by the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce.
Testimonials
One of our corporate clients wrote: “The tour wowed all 28 attendees – most of whom were accustomed to the “wow” factor – so going above and beyond was no easy task.”
- Aspen Properties
“My sister and I joined a wine tour on Sunday in the Naramata area. We both had a riot and especially wanted to commend our Tour Guide on his great attitude, helpfulness, sense of humour and knowledge of the area, vineyards and wineries. He managed to share all that in between all the laughter and hilarity as he chauffeured a boisterous crowd from vineyard to vineyard. We are recommending your company to everyone who asks about our weekend.”
- Karen
“Well, the tour was absolutely fabulous, everyone had a wonderful time. Our two Tour Guides were awesome and everyone was very impressed with their knowledge of the area and wineries. Again, thank you all for helping us with a very successful 2007 Customer Appreciation trip and hope to see you in 2008!”
- North Cariboo Air
“We are back in Calgary after a very enjoyable trip. The 2 days we spent with our Tour Guide were definitely high points of the trip. There was nothing we did those days we could not have done on our own BUT having the local information about the history of the area, willingness and ability to answer all sorts of questions, the in depth knowledge of the flowers, and the appropriate contacts at the vineyards made for a great experience.”
- The McGregors
“Thank you SO MUCH for the wonderful winery tour that you took my parents on. It was a gift to my father for his 60th birthday, and they had a fabulous time. My parents wanted to say how wonderful the guide was. She was an absolute sweetheart, so accommodating, knowledgeable, fun and spontaneous. We hope you will let her know what an exceptional job she did!
