Canada Tours for Seniors
Our older travelers appreciate tours that balance comfort with proper exploration time. Guide Ben Hutchinson gets particular praise for adjusting the pace while sharing real knowledge about local geology, wildlife and mountain history. These trips include drives along the Icefields Parkway with well-timed stops for photos and wildlife watching, plus easy walks around Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The mix of guided visits and free time to explore Banff and Jasper works really well. You'll stay in comfortable hotels in the best spots and can join extra activities that match your energy level and interests.

What people love about Canada Tours for Seniors
- Majestic Rockies
The tour was well balanced with free time and planned activities. It covered a wide range of experiences and met/exceeded our expectations. Jennifer was a well organised guide. She worked hard in the back ground and ensured we were in the right place at the right time and with almost exclusive viewing of the sights and sounds we came to see. She worked well with the group, encouraging us along the way and showing sights that were special to her as a local. Her planning skills are immense and well honed. Todd Leslie (our driver) handled the coach expertly. He also made sure our cases were in our rooms quickly and picked up promptly. All went like clockwork. The accomodation was generally very good. Only one or two smelled stale or were only at OK standard. However, they were generally well placed and of a suitable standard. Breakfasts were good and kept us going for a few hours, as we enjoyed a wide range of foods.
- The Canadian Rockies
Generally all was good, but . . . very disappointed we did not use the Nanaimo ferry to vancouver island, had to go through Vancouver yet again, then wait almost 2 hours for ferry. It would have been good to see more of the island.
- Canada's Rockies (7 Days)
Best Tour Ever! Ben Hutchinson is a true Ambassdor for Canadian tourism. He continually provided info about our country some of which we did not know about. Very, very interesting man & entertaining as well. Very comfortable coach & wonderful bus driver. As Canadians we were not disappointed at any time on this tour. Our dream of the seeing the Rockies was fulfilled!!
