What people love about Alberta Tours from Vancouver
- Canadian Rockies Eastbound Express
The tour length was ideal for us, We had one day of porr weather at Whistler which curtailed us but otherwise it was very good. The hotels were all good and the camp at Golden was a nice contrast Our guide/driver (simon) was great, friendly, very helpful and professional, and went out of his way to ensure we had a great trip.
- Rockies Premium Tour from Vancouver
Scenery exceeded expectations, Saw Bears which was wonderful, Janelle and Melanie were fun guides. My only comment would be that a couple of the boat rides were overpriced for what you got.
It was my first trip to the Rocky Mountains and it was AMAZING. If have seen so much beautiful nature and my first BEAR ever. Chris as a Tourguide was amazing, he was pefectly organized and knew so many information about every place we visited. I would defenitly recommend this trip to everyone who wants to enjoy the beautiful nature of canada.
