What people love about Canada Tours in December
- Yukon Winter Dream | Active Winter Adventure
Although I was not able to talk to a live person at Tourradar, I was able to receive texts. Until I saw Ruben waiting at the airport, there was a skeptical part in me wondering if this trip was real. Some parts of this adventure was not easy. Snowmobiling and Dog Sled Driving does take some stamina and good health. I requested gluten free but did not have this option. I would have liked the option for organic food and massage and spa options too. I did enjoy snowmobiling, dogsledding, Aurora viewing, Takhini Hot Springs and Wildlife preserves. I was concerned over the waivers I signed prior to snowmobiling and dogsledding.
- Rockies Premium Christmas Tour
Ben! its a very talented guide.. well organized. definitely make the trip smooth and satisfied. Thank you for a joyfull trip and experience!!
- Yukon Deluxe Winter Northern Lights Tour (Start and End in Vancouver)
Accomodation was good, good staff who were always available for any need, excellent owner/chef. Food quality was exceptional
