What people love about Canada Alaska Tours for Seniors
- Heart of the Canadian Rockies with Alaska Cruise
A well organised tour, fulfilling our expectations of seeing some lovely scenery and also a little wildlife e.g. bears. As for scenery, the Canadian Rockies and Alaska's Glacier Bay were highlightsfor us. Of course it helps to have good weather - going up in the gondola of Banff's sulphur mountain is recommended for views: we had good weather that day but had the views been obscured by low cloud it would have been a different matter. Altogether a great experience.
