What people love about touring Canadian Rockies solo
- 5-Day Canadian Rockies Adventure: Banff, Jasper & Yoho National Parks Tour
The scenery was truly amazing. I felt the tour was disorganized and confusing. Our group was split up and we stayed at 3 different hotels. The itinerary was always changing and we had different sized buses/mini buses so we had multiple drivers and quides. One couple got on the wrong bus. Some hotels were good but then the next one would be sub-standard. We were supposed to go to Jasper but couldn't because of a wildfire but the change was good and other activities were planned.The drivers and guides were good. In particular Sammy and Allen. There should be something in writing that the group would be staying a 3 different hotels and that according to your itinerary, you might ride on a mini bus with other group members. The tour on the whole was hood and I enjoyed
- 12 Day Rockies Hiking and Camping Tour
Overall, trip was good. It was a bit intense at times with the amount and length of hikes....not an issue itself, but we were not encouraged to stop and take photos - or we wouldn't reach our destination in time! A bit of an issue because, afterall, some of us might never see these views again. The itinerary changed considerably from the original reservation and we were not notified of this until a few days before the trip - should have known well ahead, giving us the option of choice, for ex, some of us might have counted on going to Jasper or taking the gondola - which was all on the original itinerary. Hiking boots are definitely required, although the departure info stated they were not. Itinerary said even beginners could do this trip - definitely not true. I am 73yrs old hiker and managed to do the hikes, but beginners certainly could not. It's unfair to advertise it in such a manner. The intensity of the hikes was never made clear and the original info gave the indication that we would see the major sites with a fair balance between hiking and down time. Some of these are administrative issues. The leaders were wonderful overall - but a bit intense at times. Felt a little like bootcamp! Those are my reasons for giving a "good" rating.
- 7-Day Rockies Adventure: Discover 5 Iconic National Parks in Canada – Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay & Waterton
I liked the entire trip except the days when we travelled in the smaller van especially to the waterton national park on last day. It was hot that day and the air conditioner in the small van did not work at all. It was just blowing hot air all the time.
