    Overall considering we were unable to make it to Jasper the Itinerary worked out OK. The day we got to Sun Peaks was about 4pm, it would have been nice to cut the stop on the way shorter to have more time in that absolutely beautiful town, Sun Peaks.

    Great itinerary, great tour director and driver. Bus was always clean especially the windows which is wonderful, not one smudge! Accommodation was excellent, there was one place that was below average in comparison with the rest but still adequate. Plenty of stops for washrooms and food. Have already recommended to friends.

    From the moment we met Vedrana we were totally in awe of her knowledge and her ability to make each person feel special made our trip so much more than we expected. From day one we loved every moment of our trip. I'd been dreaming of visiting Canada and Alaska from when I was 10 years old, it took me 60 years to get there and there were no disappointments. All the little extras Vedrana was able to show us from knowing where we would see black bear to the salmon spawning was so appreciated. Words can't explain the beauty of Canada and Alaska . Every bend in the road showed another breathtaking view. There was never a time when we were on the "wrong side" of the bus. Cosmos and Vedrana made our trip totally unforgetable.

    Other
    Tour Details
    • CosmosOperatorWritten March 2025

      The message indicating the tour is "not available in your region" usually means that the tour operator has set restrictions on the availability of specific trips based on the customer's currency or region. Unfortunately, there are certain tours that are not sold to specific markets, and this is determined by the tour operator. Regrettably, in this instance, it means that the tour you selected is not available for purchase in your currency or region, and we are unable to change this restriction.

      TravelerWritten February 2025

      You mentiond in your text message that "You may be able to not participate in some activities". What exactly do you mean by that?

    • CosmosOperatorWritten February 2025

      We do not include meals on the majority of our North American tours. The hotels we intend to use during the tour have restaurant on site or within the vicinity. If you would like to venture out to other restaurants, the Tour Director will be able to provide suggestions. If you deem an activity to be too strenuous, you may be able to sit that activity out and not participate. You can simply speak with the Tour Director to get a little more details on the activities for that particular day.
