Reviews of Canada Family Tours
- Wonders of the Canadian Rockies
Everything was brilliant
- Panoramic Canadian Rockies (Rocky Mountaineer SilverLeaf)
This turned out to be a great tour, little hesitant at first with the lack of inclusions. Most hotels were in a good area of town, the Pinnacle in Whistler was excellent. Dinners were not included but there was usually a pub nearby with good meals. We had a great group of people, which helps make the experience even better.
- Best of Eastern Canada (End Toronto)
Had a great trip with ben lots of fun good time bens a great guide
What our customers ask about Canada Family Tours
What's the best time of year for a family trip to Canada?
For families looking to explore Canada the summer months from June through August provide comfortable temperatures between 20-25°C that work well for outdoor activities. Those interested in winter experiences will find December to March brings opportunities to see the Northern Lights in Whitehorse or hit the slopes in Whistler. The fall season transforms places like Butchart Gardens with colorful foliage displays. As one reviewer noted: "We saw northern lights 2 out of 3 nights. It's very fantastic with great day activities."
What are the best family-friendly activities and landmarks to experience in Canada?
From coast to coast Canada offers activities that appeal to all ages. Families can ride the Banff Gondola for mountain views while watching for elk and bighorn sheep in the national park. The Sea-to-Sky Gondola experience in Squamish lets visitors take in coastal vistas while Butchart Gardens spans 55 acres of seasonal blooms. A TourRadar traveler shared "We thoroughly enjoyed the various hikes (Wild Pacific Trail Long Beach Cathedral Grove etc). It's perfect for making memories with kids." Properties like the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise provide a base for activities from canoeing to guided nature walks.
How long are the daily travel times between destinations on family tours?
Most routes space out travel times to 3-4 hours between destinations with planned stops along the way. The Vancouver to Victoria route includes a 90-minute ferry journey through the Gulf Islands where families often spot whales and seals. According to one TourRadar traveler: "The drives were very scenic and enjoyable with plenty of stops. Our guide was excellent at keeping the kids entertained." The popular Banff to Jasper drive along Icefields Parkway features stops at the Columbia Icefield and Lake Louise.
What educational experiences are available for children on Canadian tours?
Children can connect with Canadian culture through hands-on learning experiences across the country. The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre offers drum-making workshops while the Bill Reid Gallery in Vancouver features interactive Indigenous art exhibits. A TourRadar participant noted: "The cultural experiences were fantastic for the kids - they learned so much about Indigenous cultures and values in an engaging way." Jasper National Park provides guided nature walks focused on local wildlife while the Columbia Icefield Adventure teaches children about glacier formation.
What age restrictions apply for family tours in Canada?
Family tours typically welcome children starting from ages 5-8 with no upper age limits. The Rockies Western Canada tour sets its minimum age at 6 while the Family Canadian Adventure begins at age 7. Activities can be adjusted to match different ability levels and interests. One TourRadar family noted: "The tour provided a stress-free way to see a large part of Vancouver Island. Our guide was so accommodating often picking us up and dropping us off at various locations which allowed us to see so much more with the kids." Hotels like the Banff Park Lodge offer connecting rooms for families.
What type of accommodation can families expect on Canadian tours?
Canadian family tours combine standard hotels with distinctive lodging options. The Banff Park Lodge provides family rooms and child-friendly facilities while the South Thompson Inn in Kamloops offers a ranch setting with outdoor spaces. A TourRadar guest commented: "The hotels were all really high quality. The Chateau Victoria Hotel & Suites was particularly great for families with its central location and suite-style rooms." Most properties feature connecting rooms or family suites and often include swimming pools and play areas.
