What people love about Alberta Tours from Vancouver
- Canadian Rockies Eastbound Express
It was a good experience.
- Canadian Rockies (12 destinations)
Fantastic itinerary and a great 2 weeks in the Canadian Rockies. The trip covers all of the 'must see' destinations but the real highlights were the places we wouldn't of found ourselves including an amazing hike at Mt Robson (with a very cold swim in the glacial lake at the top!) and the overnight canoe trip in Wells Grey NP which was a highlight for the entire group. If you enjoy camping, pitching in to prepare meals and the great outdoors then I highly recommend this trip to see the Rockies!
- Rockies Summer Classic Tour
Absolutely great trip. Chris (guide) and (Cal) Driver were the highlight of the trip. Will recommend this trip to anyone. Thoroughly enjoyed.
