    We travelled from Calgary to Banff on this 8 day trip and had an excellent guide. Everything was well organized from the lodging to the food to the activities. There were great travelers in our small group and we made new friends that will last a life time. Just do it! We recommend Tours of Distinction to everyone and have been telling all our friends since getting home.

    Overall a great tour. The outings were fantastic, and meals were great. Our tour director Loretta made the trip a real joy. Her enthusiasm, ownership, and committed care for our group was amazing. For example, she went to great lengths to ensure we had breakfast on the last day before our very early flight. The only negative was the changes in hotels from those listed in the brochure. That put a wrinkle in our plans for free time and dinners.

    This was a great trip. The only concern was the accommodations had changed from what was advertised and we stayed on the outskirts of Banff instead of close to downtown. If it weren’t for having to climb stairs to get to your room and also another flight to go to bed it is what I would consider below average. Other than that it was a great trip and the remaining accommodation were very nice.

      All our hotels are centrally located. The hotels on this trip are the Royal Canadian Banff Lodge, The Forest Park Hotel in Jasper, the Accent Inn in Kamloops and the Sheraton Wall Center in Vancouver. This trip is given a moderate rating due to the float trip on the Athabasca River, the walk on the glacier and the walks into a couple canyons (they trails are paved or planked).
