    The Rockies are absolutely breathtaking—words can’t capture their beauty; you truly have to see them for yourself. The tour was well-organized, and our bus driver and guide, Ryan, were excellent. My only challenge was the early starts each morning and wishing we had more time to explore each town, especially Banff.

    The tour was well organized with a knowledgable and friendly guide, Corey. The rushing at each viewing and lunch stops on the tour was less but I aIso understand it is was due to the driving distance. The hotel rooms were mostly great with the exception of Canalta Lodge.

    An amazing tour and our Guide Corey was a very safe driver and extremely knowledgeable about the local area and beyond. The scenery was stunning and our walk on the glacier was a highlight of the trip. We were very impressed with the accomodation at each stop. Absolutely loved the 5 day experience and would highly recommend it. Thanks to Corey for all his help.

    We have just completed this amazing tour. The trip was all we had hoped for and more! The stunning scenery all enhanced by perfect weather with blue skies throughout. So much was packed into this tour so a big shout out for our great guide Ryan. His knowledge of the area plus his humour and patience were second to none. Accommodation was fabulous. As a bonus we met some lovely fellow travellers. Highly recommend! Sue and Pete, UK.

    Ryan was an awesome guide, big 🐘 stamp to him and the driver Mr Yee. Only negative was the lack of time to wind down and chill at the accommodation. Most people were too tired to interact in the evening. All a bit rushed. Although that been said would not have seen all the awesome sights in the five days.

    The tour itself was enjoyable, but there were a few issues with the details provided. The tour was advertised as “Rockies Premium Tour from Vancouver (34 Seats)”, yet our bus only had 21 seats. This created an inconvenience for the odd passenger who had to sit in the back middle seat without a window view. Additionally, the itinerary mentioned accommodations on Banff Avenue, but in reality, we were placed further away, which was a bit disappointing.

    Craig

    Asked on May 7th, 2025

    I'll be travelling with my husband and three children (10, 8 and 6) and am interested in your Rockies Premium Tour. I wanted to ask what sort of arrangement/configuration in accomodation is available for us as a family. We'd also be interested in doing the additional Glacier tour. Is this the one on the Ice Explorer and is the skywalk available?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Discover Canada ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      Unfortunately, the majority of the hotels accept 4 people maximum in a room. We could split you up in 2 rooms (3 and 2) but in each room an adult needs to be present. I can talk to our team and see if we can get special suites at the hotels, but I am not sure how the rates might look like. The Ice Explorer is a great option. Unfortunately, because of our itinerary, we can only do the Ice Explorer and not the ice walk, but you will still have a great time out there.

    • C

      Craig

      TravelerWritten May 2025

      Could we please have a note on our reservation requesting that the allocation of rooms be as close together as possible? Do we pay for this additional option when booking or at a later date?

    • Discover Canada ToursOperatorWritten May 2025

      We can definitely request the rooms to be as close together as possible, that should not be a problem. I can't guarantee this, but in the past, it has never been an issue. Our itinerary for this tour only allows us to do the Bus portion, not the skywalk.

    Asked on November 25th, 2024

    We are booked to fly out of Vancouver at 10.55 pm on the 19th. The tour finishes in Vancouver at around 7.30 pm, do you think this would be too risky or do you believe that we would have no problem.

    Flights / Transfers
    • Discover Canada ToursOperatorWritten November 2024

      We strongly recommend booking your flights the day after your tour arrives back in Vancouver just in case there are delays that are out of our control, like traffic, which could result in a later arrival time. If we do arrive on time, I don't forsee any issues, but please also take into account that the airport is about a 45-60 minute drive or a 30 minute skytrain ride from our drop off location.
