What people love about Canadian Rockies Tours from Calgary
- 5-Day Canadian Rockies Adventure: Banff, Jasper & Yoho National Parks Tour
Dear Sir / Madam, Generally the tour was fine, however I have the following points of concern. 1. The driver did not stop at the Spiral Tunnel and just commented as we passed by. (There were several other tours who had stopped there.) 2. I had opted out of the Daily Driver/Guide Gratuity as I believed that to be optional and up to my discretion. However on the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the Tour Guide made it very clear that he demanded C$20 per day being C$10 for the drive and C$10 for himself and it was not optional. In fact he took the money as he was handing out the key for the hotel rooms each evening!! On the Friday tour the driver/guide was clear that it was optional. I feel if the gratuity is compulsory it should be included in the package price. This did have the effect of impacting my good feeling on the trip. 3. The last point and one of constructive criticism is I had asked when the tour would get back to Calgary on the Friday and was advised that it would be 8:30 to 9:00pm which meant that I would not catch my flight so I booked a hotel room thru yourselves. In fact we arrived around 6:00 to 6:30pm so I could have in fact managed to catch my flight to Winnipeg, thereby saving the cost of the hotel for the night. Kind Regards Edwin Petrie
