What people love about Pacific Northwest Tours for Seniors
- Vancouver Island Premium Tour
Great small group tour. There were 13 of us on a very comfortable small bus with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the views. Our guide, Olly, was truly amazing. Knowledgeable, calm and capable and ever-ready to be of assistance.
- British Columbia Ski Tour 11 Days
Just came back from the 11 day ski tour with Fresh Adventures and already miss it! I had a way better time than I possibly could have hoped for with some of the best snowboarding of my life. The tour really is an adventure through some of the best places to ski in Canada, visiting several down to earth mountain towns along the way. Alex, our guide, was really friendly and cheerful and was able to show us all the best powder stashes along the way. He also took us to some really cool hot springs and booked us in to lots of really cool restaurants each night. I didn't have to worry about a thing the entire time and was surprised how nice the hotels were that we stayed in. I would suggest this trip to anyone looking for a fun, off the beaten path ski trip in Canada and I hope to come back next year. Thanks Alex!
