What people love about touring Canadian Rockies solo
Our guide Erin was exceptional. Good humoured, inclusive and fun from early morning to night with an ability to entertain with stories, history and anecdotes as we toured, whilst managing a diverse group through a busy, packed tour schedule. The scenery is stunning, on a huge scale, (actually awesome) and surpasses what I've seen so far in the Alps. Accommodation was a bit basic but I guess that helps keeps the cost down, which was for us a factor in booking the trip.
4-Day Canadian Rockies Summer Explorer Tour
- Rockies Winter Explorer New Years Eve Tour
The trip was amazing, lots of fun activities, the guides were knowledgeable and shared stories about the history of the places, the group was fun.
- 12 Day Rockies Hiking and Camping Tour
This was my fave holiday EVER! I came back feeling strong, fit, healthy, and very happy! The hikes were fantastic - challenging and picturesque. The progress through the trip was great and I was delighted to complete the Cory Pass hike at the end of the trip, knowing how much fitter I was. Jafar and Kev were awesome guides. They fed us very well, made us feel safe (bears in camp!) and were super encouraging. And great fun too. Our fellow travellers were also fantastic, we made some lifelong friends. I feel I’ve been spoilt for any future group hiking trips! We would definitely travel with fresh adventures again
