Hiking & Trekking Tours/Trips in Canada Reviews
- Active Canadian Rockies Adventure
Most amazing views! Spectacular sites, wonderful hikes and hitting so many beautiful locations in one trip. Food, however was very lack luster and was clearly chosen to save money. Bring your own granola bars and maybe some protein powder to add to your oatmeal at breakfast and you should be good for a week.
- The Best of Banff and Jasper, Hoteltour
An excellent tour. The Canadian Rockies were amazing as was our guide, Rebecca Roman. She was fantastic in keeping the group at the right level of activity and seemed to know everything - even where the best stones were to use as seats when we stopped for lunch. As the two oldest members of the group we were concerned about holding up others on some hikes. She managed to encourage us to the point where we felt comfortable. A truly wonderful young woman. One complaint - the tour had us staying in Jasper two nights but we ended up an hour away in Hinton. This increased our driving time considerably and Hinton is not Jasper. A few dollars of compensation would be welcome.

Well organised by Chris and Rachel, we were fortunate with the weather seeing this wonderful part of the world. Chris was very informative, and looked after us. Good company from my fellow travellers from America, Finland and UK, I was more than happy. This was my second tour with this company, so I knew what to expect. Considering what you could spend on seeing this part of the world, this tour was value for money.
