What people love about touring Alberta solo
- 5-Day Canadian Rockies Adventure: Banff, Jasper & Yoho National Parks Tour
Dear Sir / Madam, Generally the tour was fine, however I have the following points of concern. 1. The driver did not stop at the Spiral Tunnel and just commented as we passed by. (There were several other tours who had stopped there.) 2. I had opted out of the Daily Driver/Guide Gratuity as I believed that to be optional and up to my discretion. However on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the Tour Guide made it very clear that he demanded C$20 per day being C$10 for the drive and C$10 for himself and it was not optional. In fact he took the money as he was handing out the key for the hotel rooms each evening!! On the Friday tour the driver/guide was clear that it was optional. I feel if the gratuity is compulsory it should be included in the package price. This did have the effect of impacting my good feeling on the trip. 3. The last point and one of constructive criticism is I had asked when the tour would get back to Calgary on the Friday and was advised that it would be 8:30 to 9:00pm which meant that I would not catch my flight so I booked a hotel room thru yourselves. In fact we arrived around 6:00 to 6:30pm so I could have in fact managed to catch my flight to Winnipeg, thereby saving the cost of the hotel for the night. Kind Regards Edwin Petrie
This tour was awesome. Our tour guide Markella was absolutely amazing. She is smart, funny, fair, kind and knows a lot about nature, culture and history of Canada. The lakes whe visited were absolutely stunning! I fell in love with the Rockies and I will never forget the tour. I highly recommend this tour with Markella.

It exceeded my expectations, my sister and I had a throughly enjoyable time, loved the scenery, the trips we went on, lucky enough to see bears! Jenelle our guide and her assistant Melanie were great fun and efficient, would certainly recommend Discover Canada Tours to others.
What our customers ask about Alberta Tours for Solo Travelers
What is the typical group size for solo travelers on Alberta Country Region tours?
Most tours operate with 14-34 people. Data from TourRadar shows 25-35% of travelers book solo which creates a balanced mix of travelers. Discover Canada Tours for instance caps their groups at 34 people and books accommodations known for their social atmosphere like the Mount Royal Hotel in Banff where common spaces encourage mingling among guests.
What accommodations can solo travelers expect on Alberta tours?
Hotels are generally centrally located in town centers with easy access to local spots. Many stays include properties like the Banff Aspen Lodge and Whistlers Inn in Jasper which offer comfortable rooms and social spaces. In Banff accommodation is often right on Banff Avenue near restaurants and shops. While private rooms are available many tours offer room-sharing to reduce costs.
When is the best time for solo travelers to visit Alberta?
The main travel season runs June through September when the weather is best for outdoor activities. Booking records show July and August are busiest with 65-70 tour departures each month. This means more chances to join groups with diverse travelers. Long summer days also give you extra time for evening activities in places like Banff and Jasper.
Is it safe to travel solo on a guided tour in the Alberta Rockies?
The guided tour format provides a secure way to explore the Rockies. Tours stick to well-maintained areas like Banff National Park and Lake Louise with good infrastructure. Places like the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge have plenty of staff and other travelers around. One TourRadar traveler shared: "Felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the tour - our guide was excellent and the group dynamic was very supportive."
What are the best activities for solo travelers in Alberta's national parks?
The parks offer many group-friendly activities from guided hikes at Johnston Canyon to gondola rides at Sulphur Mountain and ice walks on the Athabasca Glacier. Popular options include the Columbia Icefield Skywalk and boat trips on Lake Minnewanka where socializing happens naturally. A TourRadar reviewer said: "The activities were awesome and it was great doing them as part of a group rather than alone."
