What people love about Vancouver to Calgary Tours
- Majestic Rockies
Loved the trip. Lots to see.
- Canadian Rockies: National Parks Eastbound
Great trip with beautifull destinations, a very nice group and a good tour guide!
- 5-Day Vancouver to Rockies VIA Rail Adventure | Vancouver Departure
We enjoyed our tour very much, the sights were beautiful, staff we well informed. A highlight for us was the optional evening photographic tour. The only thing stopping me from giving five stars was the last day felt very rushed, especially at the Banff gondola as the queue to get on took half an hour and not enough time allocated to our lunch at the Lake Louise Chateau, we had to ask the waitress to bring out the dessert while we were eating the main as we only had 15 minutes until the bus left. Allocate a bit more time for those things and you will get five stars.
