What people love about Canadian Rockies Tours for Seniors
- Great Resorts of the Canadian Rockies
Our tour guide was Jennifer - and she was superb! Her love for the area, the history and the beauty of this country was always on display. Her enthusiasm was infectious, still she was able to accommodate a diverse collection of needs from our group of 42. Jennifer was a delight. Your survey has a glitch - citing the guide, even with a name, does not provide any means of submitting that information. Very frustrating as the tour guide is the most critical feature of the trip.
- Canada's Rockies (7 Days)
It was a wonderful trip. Our tour guide Ben Hutchinson was the best tour guide I have had on 3 tours taken. Excellent knowledge of the landscape.
- Wonders of the Canadian Rockies
Great trip Thank you Dave and Jeremy
