Just returned from a Cosmos Rocky Mountains and Alaska cruise . We had the most wonderful trip. Our tour guide Mark Love and driver Cam made it such a special holiday! Nothing was too much trouble,Mark had a great passion for his country and shared amazing stories and info.

Everything ran so smoothly and small problems were taken care of with little fuss.Lots of free time ,hotels were above expectation,scenery amazing! No food included on the land part of the tour but we loved going to local shops and most hotels had fridges to keep it in.All hotels close to the town centres . Rockymountaineer train ..we went silver leaf and great value ,carriage fantastic great views food and wine, the hotel was close in town ,gold leaf stayed outside town . Cruise on the Volendam was Amazing! Thanks Cosmos !
- Essence of Eastern Canada (End Montreal)
I LOVED this tour. This was my first time as a solo traveller. The tour guide and the driver were both excellent. The experiences were incredible. Trying to arrange the amount of cities, and experiences solo, with hotels, travel etc is not possible for anywhere near the amount paid. Value for money is excellent. Hotels overall were good. There were some that were a little out of the cities, however the tour guide and driver did their best to accommodate by driving everyone back into the city if they wanted to go. Most of the experiences were really good. The Montmorency Falls as an extra trip with meal was a little pricey. There was not enough time at the Falls and the best view would be down the bottom. This could have been a free trip, without the meal, I would suggest this is looked at. Also in Montreal the tour guide who took us round, was not very engaging and it was difficult to hear her. Everything else was spot on. Well organised, excellent value for money, lovely people, beautiful country, wide range of experiences. LOVED IT. Will definitely be doing another tour.
What our customers ask about Canada and USA Tours for Seniors
What level of physical activity is required for seniors on these tours?
Canada and USA tours generally maintain an "Easy" activity level that works well for most seniors. You'll spend time on comfortable coach rides mixed with relaxed walking tours. At popular stops like Butchart Gardens in Victoria or Banff National Park the walkways are well-maintained with wheelchair access available. The tours let you adjust activities to match your energy level. As one TourRadar traveler notes: "Our guide provided alternative options when activities were too strenuous ensuring everyone could participate at their own comfort level."
Are meals suitable for seniors with dietary restrictions?
The tours can adapt to different dietary needs including low-sodium diabetic and heart-healthy options with advance notice. Hotel restaurants handle most included meals with flexible menu selections. The Spirit of the Rockies tour shows this flexibility providing 11 breakfasts and 9 dinners that work for various dietary requirements. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The tour operator was very accommodating with my wife's special diet requirements throughout the trip."
What are the accommodation standards like for senior tours in Canada and USA?
These tours select hotels focused on comfort and easy access. Many stays include upscale properties from the Fairmont Hotel chain such as the Fairmont Banff Springs and Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. Modern amenities and elevator access come standard. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The hotels were top notch and the itinerary included a variety of different activities. The Fairmont properties were especially comfortable with excellent service."
What medical facilities and assistance are available on these tours?
Tour directors trained in first aid provide support around the clock with 24/7 emergency assistance available. The route passes through major cities like Vancouver Toronto and Seattle where quality medical facilities are close by. Hotels particularly the Fairmont properties keep medical staff on call. One TourRadar traveler notes: "Our guide was very attentive to everyone's needs and knew where all the medical facilities were located along our route."
What is the best time of year for seniors to visit Canada and USA?
Late spring (May-June) and early fall (September-October) offer the most pleasant experience with mild weather and fewer tourists. Summer brings heat and crowds to cities like Boston and New York while winter weather can make travel challenging. Fall colors peak in Eastern Canada especially through Vermont and New Hampshire. The best access to Western Canada spots like Banff National Park runs June through September. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "Great tour director relaxing travel nice weather and accommodations."
How much free time is available on senior tours in Canada and USA?
The schedule mixes guided activities with 2-3 hours of daily free time plus optional excursions. This allows for personal exploration while maintaining structure.

The guide gave great suggestions for restaurants and shops within easy walking distance of our hotels."
